Precision medicine is designing the medical care by taking into account the individual variability for each person. We have tried to address whether the existing data may guide precision medicine in primary systemic vasculitides (PSV). We have reviewed genomewide association studies (GWAS) data, lessons from monogenic mimics of these
diseases, and biomarker studies in immunoglobulin A vasculitis/Henoch–Schönlein purpura, Kawasaki disease, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), Takayasu arteritis, and Behçet’s disease (BD).
