An allelic variant in the intergenic region between ERAP1 and ERAP2 correlates with an inverse expression of the two genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Endoplasmatic Reticulum Aminopeptidases ERAP1 and ERAP2 are implicated in a variety of immune and non-immune functions. Most studies however have focused on their role in shaping the HLA class I peptidome by trimming peptides to the optimal size ...

High‐resolution deep learning DIXON MRI of the sacroiliac joints is non‐inferior to standard MRI in patients with suspected axial Spondyloarthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To compare the standard multi‐sequence MRI protocol (sMRI) of the sacroiliac joints with a single high‐resolution deep learning–reconstructed DIXON sequence (DL‐DIXON) in patients with suspected axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods Seventy‐six patients with chronic low back pain and suspected axSpA underwent clinical, laboratory, and ...

Determinants of Difficult‐to‐Manage and Treatment‐Refractory Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis within a Longitudinal Cohort

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To estimate the prevalence of difficult‐to‐manage (D2M) and treatment‐refractory (TR) axSpA and to identify factors associated with D2M/TR disease in a longitudinal cohort. Methods We performed a cross‐sectional analysis on data from the Schroeder Arthritis Institute Spondylitis Program cohort.

Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Intraosseous sarcoidosis imitating peri‐implantitis: A case study

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause, typically affecting the lungs and lymph nodes, but it can also involve the eyes, skin, heart, bones, and other organs. The exact cause is unclear, but genetic factors and environmental triggers like infections, chemicals, or dust may play a role.

Serious Infection in Crohn's Disease Patients Treated With Ustekinumab: US Food and Drug Administration Active Postmarket Risk Identification and Analysis in the Sentinel Initiative

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used an Active Postmarket Risk Identification and Analysis (ARIA) system to address a safety issue (serious infection) identified during clinical review of an application to market ustekinumab as a treatment for Crohn's disease (CD). FDA used an active‐comparator new‐user cohort design, data from six Sentinel

HLA Class I or Class II and Disease Association: Catch the Difference if You Can [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The association of autoimmune diseases with HLA has been known for many decades. To date, however, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. The recently introduced genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have suggested that several genes
