METHODS OF TREATING AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS IN PATIENTS WITH GENETIC VARIATIONS IN DCR3 OR IN A DCR3 NETWORK GENE

摘要

This disclosure provides new genetic targets, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic treatment regimens for multiple autoimmune disorders, including pediatric autoimmune disorders that are co-inherited and genetically shared. The disclosure, for example, provides methods of diagnosing or determining a susceptibility for one or more autoimmune diseases and methods of determining treatment protocols for patients with one or more autoimmune diseases based on determining if the patients have genetic alterations in particular genes.
