The effect of type 2 diabetes genetic predisposition on non-cardiovascular comorbidities

open access: yesNature Communications
Type 2 diabetes is associated with a range of non-cardiovascular non-oncologic comorbidities. To move beyond associations and evaluate causal effects between type 2 diabetes genetic predisposition and 21 comorbidities, we apply Mendelian randomization ...

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 ...

Genetic and Epigenetic Etiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Update

open access: yes, 2022
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease with periods of exacerbation and remission of the disease. The etiology of IBD is not fully understood. Many studies point to the presence of genetic, immunological, environmental, and microbiological

Genetic predisposition of cholesterol gallstone disease

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2006
Gallstone disease (GSD) is the result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors and it is a major disease cause of surgery with high costs to health systems. Worldwide prevalence varies according to the ethnic population suggesting that high prevalence of GSD in certain ethnic groups is due to the presence of genetic factors ...

Venous Thromboembolism in Kidney Diseases and Genetic Predisposition

open access: yesKidney Diseases, 2022
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Many renal diseases have been associated with profound clinical effects on thrombosis. To our knowledge, patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) display an elevated risk of vein thrombosis, which is among the common causes of mortality in patients with renal diseases.
