Genetic predisposition, modifiable risk factor profile and long-term dementia risk in the general population

Nature Network Boston, 2019
The exact etiology of dementia is still unclear, but both genetic and lifestyle factors are thought to be key drivers of this complex disease. The recognition of familial patterns of dementia has led to the discovery of genetic factors that have a role ...

Genetics of common polygenic ischaemic stroke: current understanding and future challenges. [PDF]

, 2011
Stroke is the third commonest cause of death and the major cause of adult neurological disability worldwide. While much is known about conventional risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and incidence of smoking, these environmental factors only ...

Microphysiological Glomerular Filtration Barriers: Current Insights, Innovations, and Future Applications

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Established and emerging biomarkers for the prediction of type 1 diabetes: a systematic review [PDF]

, 2014
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease with a prolonged and variable latent period that culminates in the destruction of pancreatic β-cells and the development of hyperglycemia.

Unraveling the Role of MDK‐SDC4 Interaction in Pancreatic Cancer‐Associated New‐Onset Diabetes by Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Analysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Midkine (MDK) is a mediator of the interaction between pancreatic cancer and beta cells. MDK, which originated from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells, exerted deleterious effects on paraneoplastic beta cells by binding to the SDC4 receptor on the beta cell surface and subsequently downregulating the Ras signaling pathway, thereby impairing insulin

Exome Sequencing Reveals the Genetic Architecture of Non‐syndromic Orofacial Clefts and Identifies BOC as a Novel Causal Gene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are the most common craniofacial defects. Exome sequencing of 214 sporadic cases sheds new light on its genetic architecture and identifies many candidate pathogenic variants. Furthermore, functional studies establish BOC as a novel causal gene and reveal an unusual two‐locus model of inheritance via the epistatic

Ethical aspects of genetic predisposition to environmentally-related disease

Science of The Total Environment, 1996
Some individuals are highly susceptible to disease caused by chemical exposures and this hypersusceptibility can be genetically determined. Because biomarker technology for the determination of genetic predisposition is at the disposal of researchers, the capability therefore exists to include genetic screening in epidemiologic studies. The application

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]

, 2006
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.

The Non‐Coding Regulatory Variant rs2863002 at chr11p11.2 Increases Neuroblastoma Risk by Affecting HSD17B12 Expression and Lipid Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The SNP rs2863002 at the 11p11.2 locus, identified through GWAS, is associated with an increased risk of neuroblastoma. The rs2863002‐C allele impairs the binding of the transcription factor GATA3, resulting in upregulation of the HSD17B12 gene.
