Genetic predisposition to Behcet's disease mediated by a IL10RA enhancer polymorphism

open access: yesHeliyon
Background: Several studies suggested the genetic association between IL10RA variants and susceptibility to Behcet's disease (BD). However, the precise mechanism of the association is still unknown.

Physical activity, genetic predisposition, and incident cardiovascular disease: Prospective analyses of the UK Biobank [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sport and Health Science
Background: It is unclear whether physical activity can benefit participants with high genetic predisposition to cardiovascular disease. We examined the joint associations of intensity-specific physical activity and genetic predisposition (based on ...

Recent Advances in Diagnostic and Surveillance Strategies for Childhood Cancer Predisposition Syndromes

open access: yesClinical Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, 2023
Cancer predisposition syndromes (CPS) are a group of genetic disorders that increase the risk of developing various types of cancer. The prevalence of CPS in children has been known to be up to 18-20% based on recent reports.

OBESITY AND DYSLIPIDEMIA IN CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2016
Chronic hepatitis association with various types of dyslipidemia is a reality not only for the obese pediatric patient, in which we expect to find hypercholesterolemia and / or hypertriglyceridemias, but also for normal weight children with hepatitis ...

Germline RUNX1 variants in paediatric patients in a French specialised centre

open access: yeseJHaem, 2023
Familial platelet disorder with associated myeloid malignancy (FPD‐MM; OMIM 601399) is related to germline RUNX1 mutation. The pathogenicity of RUNX1 variants was initially linked to FPD‐MM phenotype, but the discovery of new variants through the ...

Genetic Predisposition to Thrombophilia in Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2011
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is linked to a definite risk of thromboembolic events (TE), but data on the role of prothrombotic genetic mutations are conflicting.Fourteen genetic factors involved in TE pathogenesis were investigated in a homogeneous cohort of Sicilian patients with IBD with and without history of TE and in healthy controls.

Genetic Predisposition to Infectious Disease [PDF]

open access: yesCureus, 2018
In contemporary medical practice, approaches to infectious disease management have been primarily rooted in a pathogen-centered model. However, host genetics also contribute significantly to infectious disease burden. The fast expansion of bioinformatics techniques and the popularization of the genome-wide association study (GWAS) in recent decades ...
