A High Genetic Risk of SLE Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Myocardial Infarction; A Combined Observational and Mendelian Randomization Study
Background/Purpose: The reasons for the high cardiovascular morbidity in patients with SLE are not fully understood. Here, we combine a mendelian randomization (MR) approach and…Abstract Number: 2060 • ACR Convergence 2022
Increased Risk of Adverse Renal Outcomes in Patients of African Ancestry with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – Role of APOL1
Background/Purpose: SLE disproportionately affects individuals of African (AA) compared to European ancestry (EA). In addition to a higher incidence, the disease is more severe in…Abstract Number: 0137 • ACR Convergence 2022
Polyarticular Arthritis and Osteolysis Caused by Mutations in the ASAH1 Gene: Farber Disease Clinical Presentations in the First-ever Natural History Study
Background/Purpose: Farber disease is frequently misdiagnosed as polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis or seronegative rheumatoid arthritis which leads to a delay in diagnosis for many patients.…Abstract Number: 1120 • ACR Convergence 2022
Transcriptome-Wide Association Study of Sjögren’s Disease Risk Alleles Identifies Novel Genes with Altered Expression in Minor Salivary Gland and Other Tissues
Background/Purpose: Sjögren's disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by reduced function of exocrine glands, but also has systemic manifestations affecting multiple organs, including abnormal…Abstract Number: 1538 • ACR Convergence 2022
Decreased Prevalence of Autoimmune Connective Tissue Diseases in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Background/Purpose: Evidence suggest that autoimmune diseases tend to coexist at a higher rate than expected, reflecting a common pathogenetic pathway. However, data sets have shown…Abstract Number: 2177 • ACR Convergence 2022
Familial Clustering of Systemic Sclerosis, Autoimmunity, and Cancer History
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex disease characterized by chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Genetic factors contribute to pathogenesis, but because it is a…Abstract Number: 0149 • ACR Convergence 2022
Autoinflammatory Diseases Associated with NOD2 and Other Concurrent Genetic Mutations
Background/Purpose: Systemic autoinflammatoy diseases (SAIDs) are primarily caused by abnormal innate immune response. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are intracellular sensors to the immune process, including NOD2,…Abstract Number: 1121 • ACR Convergence 2022
Intricate Roles of Low Gene Copy Numbers for Complement C4, C4A Deficiency and HLA-DRB1*03 as Genetic Risk Factors for Myositis, Its Subgroups and Autoantibodies
Background/Purpose: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by autoantibodies plus infiltration of leukocytes into muscles and/or the skin, leading to…Abstract Number: 1552 • ACR Convergence 2022
Rare Variant Analysis of Aortopathy Genes in Takayasu’s Arteritis
Background/Purpose: A set of genes has been associated with aortopathies, which are defined as non-inflammatory diseases where the integrity of large arteries is compromised leading…Abstract Number: 2230 • ACR Convergence 2022
Ultra-Rare Genetic Variation in Relapsing Polychondritis: A Whole-Exome Sequencing Study
Background/Purpose: Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare rheumatic disease of unknown etiology characterized by inflammations of cartilaginous structures and other tissues, particularly the ears, nose,…Abstract Number: 0336 • ACR Convergence 2022
Machine Learning Approach for the Prediction of Lupus Nephritis Renal Flares Using Polygenic Risk Score and Electronic Health Record
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) flares are associated with risks of renal failure and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). It is critical to…Abstract Number: 1122 • ACR Convergence 2022
Short Peripheral Blood Leukocyte Telomere Length in Rheumatoid Arthritis – Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Shortened telomere lengths (TL) have been associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD), in particular idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Given the phenotypic overlap between IPF…Abstract Number: 1569 • ACR Convergence 2022
Lung Involvement in VEXAS Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is a recently identified disorder caused by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene of myeloid cells.…Abstract Number: 2250 • ACR Convergence 2022
Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors in Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is an extra-articular manifestation of RA causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Genetic risk variants, such as the MUC5B rs35705950…Abstract Number: 0340 • ACR Convergence 2022
Birth Order Is a Risk Factor for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Birth order effects have been described in several immune and non-immune disease states. While some studies have found an increased risk of developing autoimmune…
