Journal ArticleDOI
Limitations of therapy and a guarded prognosis in an American cohort of Takayasu arteritis patients.
TL;DR: Although improvement of symptoms in TA usually follows glucocorticoid therapy, relapses usually occur with dosage reduction, and chronic morbidity and disability occur in most patients with TA in the US.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of arterial lesions in Takayasu's arteritis and giant cell arteritis
Peter C. Grayson,Kathleen Maksimowicz-McKinnon,Tiffany M. Clark,Gunnar Tomasson,David Cuthbertson,Simon Carette,Nader Khalidi,Carol A. Langford,Paul A. Monach,Philip Seo,Kenneth J. Warrington,Steven R. Ytterberg,Gary S. Hoffman,Peter A. Merkel +13 more
TL;DR: Analysis of patterns of arteriographic lesions in patients with Takayasu's arteritis and giant cell arteritis suggests that TAK and GCA may exist on a spectrum within the same disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Takayasu arteritis and giant cell arteritis: a spectrum within the same disease?
TL;DR: The hypothesis that giant cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis may not be distinct entities, but represent skewed phenotypes within the spectrum of a single disorder is lent support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Multiple Genetic Susceptibility Loci in Takayasu Arteritis

TL;DR: It is confirmed that genetic contribution to the disease pathogenesis is supported by the genetic association with HLA-B*52, and a genetic association between Takayasu arteritis and the FCGR2A/FCGR3A locus on chromosome 1 is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disease Relapses among Patients with Giant Cell Arteritis: A Prospective, Longitudinal Cohort Study
Tanaz A. Kermani,Kenneth J. Warrington,David Cuthbertson,Simon Carette,Gary S. Hoffman,Nader Khalidi,Curry L. Koening,Carol A. Langford,Kathleen Maksimowicz-McKinnon,Carol A. McAlear,Paul A. Monach,Philip Seo,Peter A. Merkel,Steven R. Ytterberg +13 more
TL;DR: Among patients with GCA, relapses are common, often occurring during treatment, and ESR and CRP are frequently normal at times of clinical relapse, highlighting the need for better biomarkers to assess disease activity in GCA.
