Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Genetics, Epigenetics, and Pathogenesis
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are complex, multifactorial disorders characterized by chronic relapsing intestinal inflammation. Although etiology remains largely unknown, recent research has suggested that genetic factors, environment, microbiota, and immune response are involved in the pathogenesis. Epidemiological evidence for a genetic contribution is defined: 15% of patients with Crohn...
متن کاملPersonal viewpoint Epigenetics of inflammatory bowel disease
Understanding the causes and molecular mechanisms of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the two forms of idiopathic chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a major challenge in gastroenterology research. Significant eVort has been invested in uncovering genetic and environmental factors which may increase the risk of IBD, but progress has been slow, and no IBD specific factors have be...
متن کاملGenetics and epigenetics of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly prevalent condition that predominantly affects older adults. AD is a complex multifactorial disorder with a number of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors which ultimately lead to premature neuronal death. Predictive and susceptibility genes play a role in AD. Early-onset familial AD is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Genome-wide association stu...
متن کاملGenetics and Epigenetics of Parkinson's Disease
In 1997 a mutation in the a-synuclein (SNCA) gene was associated with familial autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). Since then, several loci (PARK1-15) and genes have been linked to familial forms of the disease. There is now sufficient evidence that six of the so far identified genes at PARK loci (a-synuclein, leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, parkin, PTEN-induced putative kinase 1, DJ-1, ...
متن کاملGenetics, Epigenetics and Cancer
With deeper understanding of cell biology and genetics, it now appears that cancer is less an organ disease and more a disease of molecular mechanisms caused by mutations of specific genes. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of tissue growth regulation failure when the genes that regulate cell growth and differentiation are altered. Most cancers have multiple possible concurring causes, and it i...
