Current concept on the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease-crosstalk between genetic and microbial factors: Pathogenic bacteria and altered bacterial sensing or changes in mucosal integrity take "toll"? [PDF]
The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is only partially understood. Various environmental and host (e.g. genetic-, epithelial-, immune and non-immune) factors are involved.

A Bayesian spatial random effects model characterisation of tumour heterogeneity implemented using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation [PDF]
The focus of this study is the development of a statistical modelling procedure for characterising intra-tumour heterogeneity, motivated by recent clinical literature indicating that a variety of tumours exhibit a considerable degree of genetic spatial ...

Genetic Heterogeneity in Familial Hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Familial hyperinsulinism (HI) is a disorder characterized by dysregulation of insulin secretion and profound hypoglycemia. Mutations in both the Kir6.2 and sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1) genes have been associated with the autosomal recessive form of this disorder.

Scheimpflug imaging for keratoconus and ectatic disease
Scheimpflug cross-sectioning anterior segment imaging offers significant advantages over traditional placido based curvature analysis and ultrasound pachymetry. The accurate measurement of both the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces and the anterior

Common in atherogenesis and carcinogenesis: clonal hematopoiesis
Clonal hematopoiesis is a common age-dependent state accompanied by the expansion of mutant hematopoietic stem cells as a result of somatic mutations and is associated with a high risk of hematopoietic neoplasms and cardiovascular diseases.

Genetic association analyses often involve data from multiple potentially-heterogeneous subgroups. The expected amount of heterogeneity can vary from modest (e.g., a typical meta-analysis) to large (e.g., a strong gene--environment interaction). However,

Genetic heterogeneity of hepatitis E virus in Darfur, Sudan, and neighboring Chad. [PDF]
The within-outbreak diversity of hepatitis E virus (HEV) was studied during the outbreak of hepatitis E that occurred in Sudan in 2004. Specimens were collected from internally displaced persons living in a Sudanese refugee camp and two camps implanted ...

Heterogeneity of sporadic Parkinson’s disease: molecular approach to solving the problem
We performed search for mutations in the LRRK2, PRKN (parkin)and SNCA (a-synuclein) genes in 359 patients of Slavonic ethnicorigin (169 men and 190 women) with Parkinsons disease, ofwhom 345 represented sporadic cases. Age at the disease onset wasfrom 23

Genetic Heterogeneity in Human Disease [PDF]
Strong evidence suggests that rare mutations of severe effect are responsible for a substantial portion of complex human disease. Evolutionary forces generate vast genetic heterogeneity in human illness by introducing many new variants in each generation.
