Association of the Leukocyte Immunoglobulin‐like Receptor A3 Gene With Neutrophil Activation and Disease Susceptibility in Adult‐Onset Still’s Disease
Adult‐onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a severe autoinflammatory disease. Neutrophil activation with enhanced neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is involved in the pathogenesis of AOSD. Functional leukocyte immunoglobulin‐like receptor A3 (LIR‐A3; gene name LILRA3) has been reported to be associated with many autoimmune diseases. We aimed to investigate the association of LILRA3 with disease susceptibility and neutrophil activation in AOSD.
