Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated, fibroinflammatory, multiorgan disease with an obscure pathogenesis. Findings indicating excessive platelet activation have been reported in systemic sclerosis, which is another autoimmune, multisystemic fibrotic disorder. The immune-mediated, inflammatory, and fibrosing intersections of IgG4-RD and systemic sclerosis raised a question about platelets' role in IgG4-RD.

Objective: To assess the adherence to the vaccination campaign against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with immunoglobulin-G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and to evaluate the development of local and systemic adverse events (AEs) following vaccination. Additionally, to investigate the rate and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in IgG4-RD patients.

Methods: Patients with IgG4-RD in follow-up before the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic were contacted by telephone and asked to answer an ad hoc questionnaire regarding their vaccination status against SARS-CoV-2 and related AEs following vaccination.

Background: IgG4-related cholangitis (IgG4-SC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are chronic fibro-inflammatory hepatobiliary conditions, with genetic, environmental, and immunologic risk factors, in which epigenetic alterations may provide insights into pathophysiology and novel biomarkers. This study is the first to assess methylation signatures in IgG4-SC.

Results: Whole blood DNA methylation profiling and genotyping was performed in 264 individuals; 47 with IgG4-SC, 65 with PSC, 64 with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 88 healthy controls.
