abstract = {Giant cell arteritis (GCA, also called temporal arteritis)
is a rare and Takayasu arteritis (TA) is an even rarer
autoimmune disease (AID), both of which present with
inflammatory vasculitis of large and medium size arteries.
The risk factors are largely undefined but disease
susceptibility has been associated with human leukocyte
antigen locus. Population-level familial risk is not known.
In the present nation-wide study we describe familial risk
for GCA and for GCA and TA with any other AID based on the
Swedish hospital diagnoses up to years 2012. Family
relationships were obtained from the Multigeneration
Register. Familial standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were
calculated for offspring whose parents or siblings were
diagnosed with GCA, TA or any other AID. The number of GCA
patients in the offspring generation was 4695, compared to
209 TA patients; for both, familial patients accounted for
$1\%$ of all patients. The familial risk for GCA was 2.14,
2.40 for women and non-significant for men. GCA was
associated with 10 other AIDs and TA was associated with 6
other AIDs; both shared associations with polymyalgia
rheumatica and rheumatoid arthritis. The results showed that
family history is a risk factor for GCA. Significant
familial associations of both GCA and TA with such a number
of other AIDs provide evidence for polyautoimmunity among
these diseases.},
