  2. 16. Genome-Wide Studies of Transcriptional Regulation in Mammalian Cells

    Author : Ola Wallerman; Claes Wadelius; Jussi Taipale; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ChIP; ChIP-chip; ChIP-seq; transcription factors; motif discovery; nucleosome positioning; HepG2; genome-wide; RNA-seq; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : The key to the complexity of higher organisms lies not in the number of protein coding genes they carry, but rather in the intrinsic complexity of the gene regulatory networks. The major effectors of transcriptional regulation are proteins called transcription factors, and in this thesis four papers describing genome-wide studies of seven such factors are presented, together with studies on components of the chromatin and transcriptome.

  4. 17. Genetic Studies of Alzheimer's Disease

    Author : Elin Blom; Anna Glaser; Martin Ingelsson; Lars Lannfelt; Jan Hillert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Linkage; Affected sib-pairs; APOE; APP duplication; 10q21; 19q13; Wnt signaling; Geriatrics and medical gerontology; Geriatrik och medicinsk gerontologi;

    Abstract : Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) often have a family history of the disease, implicating genetics as a major risk factor. Three genes are currently known to cause familial early-onset AD (65 years), only the APOE gene has repeatedly been associated to AD, where the ε4 allele increases disease risk and decreases age at onset.

  5. 18. Nutritional and dysmetabolic factors with potential impact on type 2 diabetes : epidemiological and molecular studies

    Author : Tina Wirström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Type 2 Diabetes;

    Abstract : Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by hyperglycaemia. Type 2 diabetes encompasses 85-95% of all diabetes with a prevalence that is expected to increase worldwide. READ MORE

  6. 19. Exocytosis in Type 2 Diabetes- Functional and genetic studies of hormone secretion

    Author : Sofia A Andersson; Diabetes - öcellsexocytos; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 2 Diabetes; Insulin; Glucagon; Alpha-cells; Beta-cells; Exocytosis; Capacitance; SNARE; SNAP25; Syntaxin1A; Synaptotagmin; Munc-18 Stxbp1 ; SNP; Expression; miRNA;

    Abstract : Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is characterized by dysregulated beta-and alpha-cell hormone secretion leading to elevated blood glucose levels. Several proteins are crucial in maintaining exocytosis of the hormone-containing granules such as Syntaxin1A (Stx1A), SNAP25, Munc-18 (Stxbp1) and the family of Synaptotagmins (Syts). READ MORE

  7. 20. Optimizing Exposome-wide Assessments in Cardiometabolic Risk

    Author : Hugo Pomares-Millan; Genetisk och molekylär epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lifestyle; Nutritional epidemiology; Cardiometabolic risk; Prediabetes; cardiovascular disease CVD ; Type 2 diabetes T2D ; Machine learning; causal inference; Mediation analysis; Mendelian randomization;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), two concomitant conditions that appear with growing concern. In our work, we aim to improve the identification of individuals at-risk of cardiometabolic disease through the characterization of complex environmental exposures (i.e. READ MORE
