Identification of Susceptibility Loci and Genes for Systemic Vasculitis Risk, by Analyzing Whole Exome Sequencing of Familial and Pediatric Forms of Vasculitis (FAMILYVASC Study)
The FAMILYVASC study is a prospective observational study which will aim to identify susceptibility loci and genes for systemic vasculitis risk in patients with familial or pediatric forms of vasculitis. Genetic analysis based on whole exome sequencing will be carried out through salivary DNA.
