2. 1. Systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis : analyses of candidate genes involved in immune functions, for susceptibility and severity

   Author : Martin Johansson; Solbritt Rantapää Dahlqvist; Ingrid Lundberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SLE; RA; oestrogen; renal disorder; ESR1; PDCD1; PTPN22; association; severity; Rheumatology; Reumatologi; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease with systemic manifestations characterized by auto-antibodies directed against different parts of the cell nucleus including DNA, histones and ribosomes. The systemic inflammation can cause damage to multiple organs, e.g., kidneys, skin, heart, lungs and the nervous system. READ MORE

4. 2. Genetic analysis of type 1 diabetes susceptibilty

   Author : Samina Asad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a multifactorial disease where the pancreatic beta-cells are destroyed in an autoimmune attack. For the patients, this in turn leads to lifelong daily insulin treatment and increased risk for various kinds of complications. It is thought that both environmental as well as genetic factors act in concert to cause T1D. READ MORE

6. 4. Genetic studies on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus : A fine mapping and candidate gene approach

   Author : Veronica Magnusson; Jerry Lanchbury; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; Systemic Lupus Erythematosus; complex disease; linkage analysis; candidate gene; association studies; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   Abstract : Linkage in the 2q37 region was evaluated using microsatellite markers in multi-case families from Sweden, Iceland and Norway. Both the two-point and the multipoint linkage analysis show highly significant LOD scores (Z=4.51 and 6.03, respectively). READ MORE

7. 5. Strategies for Identification of Susceptibility Genes in Complex Autoimmune Diseases

   Author : Ludmila Prokunina; Marta Alarcon-Riquelme; Ulf Gyllensten; Juha Kere; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; complex diseases; autoimmune diseases; genetic mapping; functional studies; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

   Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are complex autoimmune diseases affecting 0.05-2% of the population worldwide. Genetic studies detected linkage with SLE in the 2q37 region, and intensive family-based and case-control association studies in several populations identified that allele A of the SNP PD-1. READ MORE
