I am investigating the syndrome of familial granulomatous arthritis, uveitis
and rash. This is the only known example, in humans, of a multisystem,
granulomatous inflammatory condition inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
I would like to hear from anyone who may care/investigate such patients and/or
has an interest in the basic immunology of granuloma formation. My research
group is in the midst of a linkage analysis to try and isolate the putative
gene chromosomal location and a study to better define the immunobiology of
the condition.
