  4. 2. Genetic linkage and association studies in celiac disease: discoveries from whole genome analysis

    Author : Svetlana Adamovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Celiac Disease; genome-wide scan; linkage; association; GWAS; complex disease; autoimmune; 5q31-33; HLA; IL2 IL21;

    Abstract : Celiac Disease (CD) or Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy (GSE) is a life-long disorder. It is characterized by inflammation in the small intestine of genetically predisposed individuals caused by inappropriate immune response to gluten, a protein enriched in some of our common grains (wheat, rye and barley).

    Abstract : Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder that affects genetically susceptible individuals and is induced by dietary gluten. Treatment consists of a lifelong gluten-free diet. CD is common and affects about 1% of the general population. READ MORE

  6. 4. Psoriatic arthritis: a complex disease : analyses on genetic and serological biomarkers and of comorbidity

    Author : Kristina Juneblad; Gerd-Marie Alenius; Solbritt Rantapää-Dahlqvist; Lars-Erik Kristenssen; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a heterogonous inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis. The disease leads to inflammation of peripheral joints, axial skeleton and/or enthesites, and can result in severe destruction of affected joints. READ MORE

  7. 5. Transcriptional patterns in inflammatory disease

    Author : Johan Lindberg; Joakim Lundeberg; Eivind Hovig; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gene expression profiling; transcription; microarray; rheumatoid arthritis; synovial tissue; variability; TNF‐α; anti‐TNF treatment; periodontitis; PGE2; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : In the studies this thesis is based upon, microarrays were applied to profilemRNA populations in biological samples to gain insights into transcriptionalpatterns and their relation to inflammatory disease.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, which leads todegradation of cartilage and bone.
