Immune Gene Variants Linked to Rare Arteritis in Iranian Populations

Researchers have identified specific immune system genes that increase susceptibility to Takayasu arteritis, a rare inflammatory disease affecting major blood vessels. The finding could enable earlier diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies for affected populations, potentially reducing complications like heart attacks and strokes in at-risk individuals.
