Scientists probe immune cell clues in rare disease
NCT ID NCT01167491
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at immune cells from 138 people with Wegener's granulomatosis, a rare disease causing inflammation of blood vessels. Researchers measured levels of a protein called DAP12 in different immune cells to understand how the disease works. No new treatment was tested; the goal was to gather knowledge for future research.
