1. Polyglandular Autoimmune (PGA) Syndromes and associations to sarcoidosis
Abstract : Polyglandular Autoimmune (PGA) syndrome type II in idiopathic Addison's disease: In a retrospective study of idiopathic Ad-dison's disease (median age at diagnosis 32.5 years, range 8-62; median observation time 17 years, range 0.5-41), 50% met the criteria for PGA syndrome type II. In PGA syndrome type II, 73% had ATD and 41% had IDDM. READ MORE

2. Genetic interaction between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
Abstract : There are two major types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Similarly characterized by hyperglycaemia and long term micro- and macrovascular complications, type 1 and type 2 diabetes have different underlying pathophysiologic processes. In Scandinavia, type 1 diabetes is common; type 2 diabetes accounts for 85% of all cases with diabetes. READ MORE

3. HLA and KIR gene polymorphism in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Abstract : The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans known as the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) is localised to the short arm of chromosome six. The HLA class 1 antigens, HLA-A, -B and -C are highly polymorphic glycoproteins expressed on the cell surface of most nucleated cells in the body. READ MORE

4. Genomic profiling and gene-gene interaction in rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract : Complex disease is characterized by the interplay of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease with a pronounced genetic component, mainly due to HLA-DRB1 gene, but also a multitude of loci outside the HLA region. READ MORE

5. Identifying Risk Genes for Cervical Cancer : Using Affected Sib-Pairs and Case-Control Materials from Sweden
Abstract : Cervical cancer is a multifactorial disease. Infection by oncogenic types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major environmental risk factor and host genetic susceptibility also influences disease development. The aim of this thesis is to identify and analyse risk genes involved in the genetic predisposition to cervical carcinoma. READ MORE
