  2. 1. Genetic Studies of Immunological Diseases in Dogs and Humans

    Author : Matteo Bianchi; Gerli Rosengren Pielberg; Marta Alarcón-Riquelme; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; complex disease; immunogenetics; autoimmunity; GWAS; NGS; canine model; dog; hypothyroidism; Addison s disease; IFNA; BACH2; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents genetic studies aiming at enlarging our knowledge regarding the genetic factors underlying two immune-mediated diseases, hypothyroidism and autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD), in dogs and humans, respectively.Genetic and environmental factors are indicated to contribute to canine hypothyroidism, which can be considered a model for human Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT).

  4. 2. Genetic Studies in Dogs Implicate Novel Genes Involved in Atopic Dermatitis and IgA Deficiency

    Author : Katarina Tengvall; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Göran Andersson; Åke Hedhammar; Gerli Rosengren Pielberg; Ingrid Skelton Kockum; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GWAS; canine model; genetic association; immunogenetics; atopic dermatitis; IgA deficiency; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : This thesis presents genetic studies of atopic dermatitis (AD) and IgA deficiency in dogs.AD is a chronic inflammatory and pruritic skin disorder caused by allergic reactions against environmental allergens. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the development of Canine AD (CAD) and human AD. READ MORE

  5. 3. Novel Bioinformatics Applications for Protein Allergology, Genome-Wide Association and Retrovirology Studies

    Author : Álvaro Martínez Barrio; Erik Bongcam-Rudloff; Teresa K Attwood; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : data integration; web services; protein allergology; risk assessment; cross reactivity; endogenous retroviruses; ERV; dog; canine; GWAS; genome-wide association studies;

    Abstract : Recently, the pace of growth in the amount of data sources within Life Sciences has increased exponentially until pose a difficult problem to efficiently manage their integration. The data avalanche we are experiencing may be significant for a turning point in science, with a change of orientation from proprietary to publicly available data and a concomitant acceptance of studies based on the latter.

  6. 4. Analysis of inherited and somatic variants to decipher canine complex traits

    Author : Kate Megquier; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Ingegerd Elvers; David Sargan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dog; genetics; GWAS; exome; cancer; DM;

    Abstract : This thesis presents several investigations of the dog as a model for complex diseases, focusing on cancers and the effect of genetic risk factors on clinical presentation.In Papers I and II, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify germline risk factors predisposing US golden retrievers to hemangiosarcoma (HSA) and B-cell lymphoma (BLSA).

  7. 5. Canine disease models for IgA deficiency

    Author : Marcel Frankowiack; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) is the most common primary immunodeficiency disorder in Caucasians and is defined as serum IgA concentrations below or equal to 0.07 g/l, with normal serum concentrations of IgM and IgG, in individuals 4 years of age or older. READ MORE
