CD209 Genetic Polymorphism and Tuberculosis Disease
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. DC-SIGN, encoded by CD209, is a receptor capable of binding and internalizing Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Previous studies have reported that the CD209 promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-336A/G exerts an effect on CD209 expression and is associated with human susceptibility...
متن کاملMHC Polymorphism and Tuberculosis Disease
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causal agent of tuberculosis (TB), remains a major public health throughout the world causing high mortality in humans. According to the report published by the World Health Organization in 2009, 9.3 million new cases of TB were declared in the world and 1.3 million HIV-negative people died by this infection (http://www.who.int/tb/publications/global_report...
متن کاملGenetic Variants of CD209 Associated with Kawasaki Disease Susceptibility
BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology mainly affecting children in Asian countries. Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN, CD209) in humans was showed to trigger an anti-inflammatory cascade and associated with KD susceptibility. This study was conducted to investigate the association between genetic po...
متن کاملDC-SIGN (CD209) Promoter −336 A/G (rs4804803) Polymorphism Associated with Susceptibility of Kawasaki Disease
Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized by systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the most effective therapy for KD to reduce the prevalence of coronary artery lesion (CAL) formation. Recently, the α2, 6 sialylated IgG was reported to interact with a lectin receptor, specific intracellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing nonintegrin homolog-related 1...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease, and its morbidity and mortality are increasing. There are many studies that have tried to explain the pathogenesis of COPD from genetic susceptibility, to identify the susceptibility of COPD factors, which play a role in early prevention, early detection and the early treatment. However, it is well known that COPD is an i...
