Strong HLA and Novel Non-HLA Associations Identified By Auto-Antibody Subset Analysis of African Americans with Scleroderma from the Genome Research in African American Scleroderma Patients Cohort
Background/Purpose: Anti-fibrillarin (nucleolar, AFA) and anti-topoisomerase I (ATA) autoantibodies are specific to systemic sclerosis (SSc) and are common in African Americans (AA). These autoantibodies define…Abstract Number: 1292 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
HLA-B*58:01 Genotype and the Risk of Allopurinol-Associated Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions in a Predominately Black or African American Population with Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease
