Candidate genes for COPD: current evidence and research
COPD is a common complex disease characterized by progressive airflow limitation. Several genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have discovered genes that are associated with COPD. Recently, candidate genes for COPD identified by GWASs include CHRNA3/5 (cholinergic nicotine receptor alpha 3/5), IREB2 (iron regulatory binding protein 2), HHIP (hedgehog-interacting protein), FAM13A (family with...
متن کاملCandidate genes of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: current evidence and research
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a group of common and lethal forms of idiopathic interstitial pulmonary disease. IPF is characterized by a progressive decline in lung function with a median survival of 2-3 years after diagnosis. Although the pathogenesis of the disease remains unknown, genetic predisposition could play a causal role in IPF. A set of genes have been identified as candidat...
متن کاملCandidate genes of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia: current evidence and research
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a relatively uncommon, indolent malignancy of immunoglobulin M-producing B cells. The World Health Organization classifies it as a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and patients typically present with anemia, hepatosplenomegaly and diffuse lymphadenopathies. Historically, the genetic characterization of the disease has been hampered by the relatively low prolife...
متن کاملno evidence for association between amelogenesis imperfecta and candidate genes
background: amelogenesis imperfecta (ai) is an inherited tooth disorder. despite the fact that up to now, several gene mutations in mmp20, enam, amelx and klk4 genes have been reported to be associated with ai, many other genes suggested to be involved. the main objective of this study was to find the mutations in three major candidate genes including mmp20, enam and klk4 responsible for ai f...
متن کاملCandidate genes for COPD in two large data sets.
Lack of reproducibility of findings has been a criticism of genetic association studies on complex diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We selected 257 polymorphisms of 16 genes with reported or potential relationships to COPD and genotyped these variants in a case-control study that included 953 COPD cases and 956 control subjects. We explored the association of thes...
