CTLA4 polymorphisms and COPD.
We read with interest the article by ZHU et al. [1] describing the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs231775 and rs3087243) within the CTLA4 gene and chronic bronchitis. Both of these polymorphisms may be risk factors for autoimmunity [2], and are often referred to as A49G and CT60, respectively. As alluded to briefly by the authors in their discussion, there has been r...
متن کاملTechnical note: linkage disequilibrium and disease-associated CTLA4 gene polymorphisms.
CTLA4 and CD28 are important regulators of T lymphocyte activation. Gene region 2q33 carrying genes for both CTLA4 and CD28 has been shown to be linked to many autoimmune diseases. Disease associations with particular CTLA4 gene polymorphisms have been reported. Recently, first lines of evidence emerged for functional effects of CTLA4 gene polymorphisms. Two independent studies reported a reduc...
متن کاملCTLA4 promoter polymorphisms are associated with canine diabetes mellitus.
Canine diabetes mellitus (DM) shares many similarities with human type 1 diabetes (T1D). It is a complex genetic disorder, which shows marked differences in breed susceptibility, with Samoyed dogs being highly susceptible, whereas the Boxer breed is relatively resistant. A number of immune response genes, which have been associated with human T1D, have also been implicated in determining suscep...
متن کاملCTLA4 gene polymorphisms are associated with chronic bronchitis.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by chronic and progressive dyspnoea, cough and sputum production. T-lymphocytes may play a key role in the pathogenesis of COPD and chronic bronchitis. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA) 4 is a potential candidate gene because it modulates T-cell activation. Genetic association between nine CTLA4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (S...
متن کاملThe CTLA4+49A/G and CT60 polymorphisms and chronic inflammatory arthropathies in Northern Ireland.
Rheumatoid and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (RA, JIA) are chronic inflammatory arthropathies with an autoimmune background. The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) protein plays a key role in the down-regulation of T cell activation. We analyzed the CTLA4 +49A/G and CT60 polymorphisms in cohorts of Northern Irish RA and JIA patients and healthy control subjects using restriction fragment...
