Despite much research the precise pathoetiology of giant cell arteritis is poorly understood. Both environmental and genetic factors are thought to contribute to disease development. Though to date, no overriding mechanism for disease development has been identified. This research will apply modern molecular techniques to further explore the pathogenic processes in this devastating disease which in turn will hopefully provide insight into novel treatment modalities.

尽管进行了大量研究，但对巨细胞动脉炎的确切病理学仍知之甚少。人们认为环境和遗传因素都会导致疾病的发展。但迄今为止，尚未确定疾病发展的首要机制。这项研究将应用现代分子技术进一步探索这种毁灭性疾病的致病过程，从而有望为新的治疗方式提供见解。
