Abstract

Previous studies suggest that the incidence of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's; GPA) increases along a south-north gradient in the Northern Hemisphere with an incidence of 8.0/million/year reported for the population of Northern Norway. In the present study, we assessed the incidence of GPA in the predominantly Inuit population of Greenland and in the Caucasian population of the Faroe Islands.
