CTLA4 Gene Variants in Autoimmunity and Cancer: a Comparative Review
Gene association studies are less appealing in cancer compared to autoimmune diseases. Complexity, heterogeneity, variation in histological types, age at onset, short survival, and acute versus chronic conditions are cancer related factors which are different from an organ specific autoimmune disease, such as Grave’s disease, on which a large body of multicentre data is accumulated. For years t...
متن کاملPrenatal sex determination in suspicious cases of X-linked recessive diseases by the amelogenin gene
Objective(s):To determine the fetal discernment in suspected cases of sex linked recessive disease in the first trimester of pregnancy. Materials and Methods: After collection of 100 Chorionic Villi samples, the DNAs were extracted and baby gender was determined. Meanwhile, after increasing the sensitivity, the system was able to detect the sex of each cell which was obtained by biopsy. Resul...
متن کاملLiver Diseases and Autoimmunity
Based on the principal clinical and pathological features, autoimmune diseases can be broadly divided into localized (involving only a single organ or tissue) and systemic (involving multiple organs). The liver is a lymphoid organ that not only participates in the immune response, but also a target of autoimmune reactions. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary ...
متن کاملEnzyme replacement therapy for lysosomal storage diseases.
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been approved for 6 lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) worldwide including Japan. These diseases include Gaucher disease (GD), Fabry disease, mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) types I, II, and VI, and Pompe disease (PD). The efficacy and safety of ERT for LSDs has been confirmed by extensive clinical trials. However, there are still obstacles to successful ERT, suc...
متن کاملHormone Replacement Therapy and Risk for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Over the past two decades, there has been a significant amount of research investigating the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with regards to neurodegenerative disease. Here, we review basic science studies, randomized clinical trials, and epidemiological studies, and discuss the putative neuroprotective effects of HRT in the context of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's di...
