PReS-FINAL-2109: Genetic variations in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and uveitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is accompanied by uveitis in approximately 20% of the cases. This is a serious complication with risk of impaired vision or even blindness. Both conditions are considered to be autoimmune diseases. Since uveitis is often asymptomatic, frequent ophthalmologic checks are needed to diagnose this complication at an early stage. Identification of risk factors for uveitis (besides presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA)) could contribute to understanding of the pathogenesis of both diseases, and could be used as prognostic tool in an individual patient.

Introduction Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common cause of chronic anterior uveitis in childhood, and uveitis is the most frequent extra-articular manifestation seen overall in children with JIA. Although it is wellknown that ocular involvement is strongly associated with a constellation of particular clinical features, which include the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA...
