Genetic Predisposition and Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]
Published reports demonstrated finding of different susceptible mutant alleles in association with inflammatory bowel disease (CD/UC) in diseased individuals from different populations. It was then assumed that the existence of different associated mutant alleles in subjects with inflammatory bowel disease from different populations means different ...

Genetic Predisposition to Respiratory Diseases: Infiltrative Lung Diseases [PDF]
The availability of high-throughput genotyping and large collaborative clinical networks creating well-characterized patient populations with DNA repositories has facilitated genome-wide scans and candidate gene studies to identify susceptibility alleles for the development of interstitial lung disease.

Pervasive Sharing of Genetic Effects in Autoimmune Disease [PDF]
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified numerous, replicable, genetic associations between common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk of common autoimmune and inflammatory (immune-mediated) diseases, some of which are shared ...

Genetic predisposition in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease whose prevalence has reached global epidemic proportions. Although the disease is relatively benign in the early stages, when severe clinical forms, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma, occur, they result in worsening

Genetic predisposition, Aβ misfolding in blood plasma, and Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer's disease is highly heritable and characterized by amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between genetic predisposition, Aβ misfolding in blood plasma, a unique marker of ...

Genetic Predisposition to Cardiovascular Diseases [PDF]
Extensive clinical and statistical studies have identified several factors that increase the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke. Major risk factors are those that are associated with a significant increase in the risk of heart and blood vessel disease (CVD).

Glutathione S-transferase T1 and M1 polymorphisms and risk of thyroid neoplasms [PDF]
Background: In order to test the possibility of association between GSTT1 and M1 (glutathione S-transferase) null allele variant, in which the entire gene is absent, and the risk of TCO (thyroid carcinoma with cell oxyphilia), the case-control study was ...
