Background/Purpose: The SNP rs26232 is associated with both risk and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with the C allele associated with the susceptibility to RA,…Abstract Number: 1761 • ACR Convergence 2024
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Genetic Risk Haplotypes: Relevance to Children of African Ancestry
Background/Purpose: - Numerous juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) risk loci have been identified, overwhelmingly from cohorts of children of European ancestry (EA). The extent to which…Abstract Number: 2634 • ACR Convergence 2024
Transcriptomic Stratification Predicts Response to Rituximab, Abatacept or the Association of Hydroxychloroquine and Leflunomide in 3 Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials in Sjögren’s Disease
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s disease (SjD) is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous disease. To date, no phase-III trial showed efficacy in reducing the symptoms or systemic activity…Abstract Number: 0889 • ACR Convergence 2024
Unraveling the Progression of Sjögren’s Disease at the Cellular and Histological Level Using Single-cell and Spatial Transcriptomics
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s Disease (SjD) is a systemic autoimmune disease that primarily targets salivary and lacrimal glands, causing tissue deterioration and loss of function. Disease progression…Abstract Number: 1773 • ACR Convergence 2024
Divergent Genetic Architecture in Boys and Girls with NEMO-deleted Exon 5 Autoinflammatory Syndrome (NEMO-NDAS) Implies Role for Wildtype Effector Cells
Background/Purpose: Splice-site variants in X-linked IKBKG cause NEMO-deleted exon5 autoinflammatory syndrome (NEMO-NDAS); a pseudogene (IKBKGP1) complicates genetic diagnosis. NEMO-NDAS is four times more common in…Abstract Number: 2641 • ACR Convergence 2024
Identification of Systemic Sclerosis Intrinsic Subtypes in the ASSET Clinical Trial Using PBC Gene Expression
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is molecularly heterogeneous and distinct subtypes of patients have been identified based on gene expression in skin. Although treatments have improved,…Abstract Number: 0891 • ACR Convergence 2024
Shared and Disease-Specific Mechanisms of Autoimmunity Using Single Cell Sequencing of Peripheral Immune Cells
Background/Purpose: Rheumatologic diseases are characterized by distinct clinical presentations and patterns of organ involvement, yet share many genetic risk factors and treatment responses. This suggests…Abstract Number: 1780 • ACR Convergence 2024
Next Generation Sequencing Analysis Reveals Complex Genetic Architecture of Childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a potentially life-threatening autoimmune disease. Childhood-onset SLE (cSLE) patients have younger disease onset and more severe disease than adults,…Abstract Number: 2691 • ACR Convergence 2024
Transcriptomic Changes in CD4+ T Lymphocytes in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
Background/Purpose: Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic autoimmune disorder, included within the ANCA-associated vasculitis. It is characterized by a diverse clinical profile,…Abstract Number: 0901 • ACR Convergence 2024
Intergenic Alu Elements Are Uniquely Expressed in Dermatomyositis and Correlate with Interferon Stimulated Genes
Background/Purpose: As genes constitute < 2% of our genomes, there is a need to explore potential roles of other genomic elements in autoimmune disease. We…Abstract Number: 1804 • ACR Convergence 2024
Investigating Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoires by Deep Immune Cell Phenotyping in Preclinical Autoimmunity Development
Background/Purpose: A loss of systemic self-tolerance to anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANAs) is one of the main hallmarks of SLE. However, most healthy females with ANAs will…Abstract Number: 0904 • ACR Convergence 2024
Defining the Function of Disease Variants with CRISPR Editing and Multimodal Single Cell Sequencing
Background/Purpose: Genetic studies have identified thousands of individual disease-associated non-coding alleles, but identification of the causal alleles and their functions remain critical bottlenecks. Even though…Abstract Number: 1810 • ACR Convergence 2024
Modulation of Type I Interferon Signaling by Anifrolumab Alters the Spatial Immune Landscape in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Reliable and effective treatments for refractory cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) remained elusive until the arrival of anifrolumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the type I…Abstract Number: 0022 • ACR Convergence 2024
Transcriptomic Characterization of Knee Capsule Fibroblasts and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Reveals an Association Between Flexion Contracture and Alterations in Immune Pathways in People with End-stage OA
Background/Purpose: Over 10% of adults have symptomatic knee OA but no disease-modifying interventions exist. A flexion contracture (loss of extension; FC) presents in 1/3 of…Abstract Number: 0907 • ACR Convergence 2024
Association of Rare and Common Genetic Variants in MOCOS with Inadequate Response to Allopurinol
Background/Purpose: The minor allele of the common rs2231142 (Q141K) ABCG2 variant predicts inadequate response to allopurinol urate lowering therapy (ULT). We hypothesize that additional variants in genes…
