Are anti-GP2 IgA autoantibodies associated with poor survival and cholangiocarcinoma in primary sclerosing cholangitis?
Anti-GP2 IgA can be hypothesised as a novel marker in large bile duct diseases. In particular, in PSC, anti-GP2 IgA identified a subgroup of patients with severe phenotype and poor survival due to cholangiocarcinoma. Anti-GP2 IgA may therefore be a clinically valuable tool for risk stratification in PSC.
Specialty was more predictive of knowledge, approach to evaluation, and counseling than gender or experience.
