Figure 1. Shared genetic risk factors in vasculitides.

Abbreviations: TAK, Takayasu arteritis; IgAV/HSP, IgAV/Henoch-Schönlein purpura; KD, Kawasaki
disease; GCA, giant cell arteritis; AAV, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated
vasculitis; BD, Behçet disease.*CTLA4 is shared between IgAV/HSP, BD and AAV (it appears
twice in the figure due to limitations in ellipse overlapping).
