Two Genetic Variations in the IRF8 region are associated with Behçet’s disease in Han Chinese
Several modulatory factors in the TLR signaling pathway including IRF3, IRF7, IRF8, TRIM20, MYD88 and NF-κB1 have been associated with autoimmune disease. In this study, we investigated the association of 13 SNPs for these genes with Behçet's disease (BD) and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome using a polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Haplotyp...
متن کاملEvaluation of regulatory genetic variants in POU5F1 and risk of congenital heart disease in Han Chinese
OCT4 is a transcription factor of the POU family, which plays a key role in embryonic development and stem cell pluripotency. Previous studies have shown that Oct4 is required for cardiomyocyte differentiation in mice and its depletion could result in cardiac morphogenesis in embryo. However, whether the genetic variations in OCT4 coding gene, POU5F1, confer the predisposition to congenital hea...
متن کاملCommon Variation in ISL1 Confers Genetic Susceptibility for Human Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth abnormality and the etiology is unknown in the overwhelming majority of cases. ISLET1 (ISL1) is a transcription factor that marks cardiac progenitor cells and generates diverse multipotent cardiovascular cell lineages. The fundamental role of ISL1 in cardiac morphogenesis makes this an exceptional candidate gene to consider as a cause of c...
متن کاملGenetic Syndromes associated with Congenital Heart Disease
Recent research has demonstrated that genetic alterations or variations contribute considerably to the development of congenital heart disease. Many kinds of genetic tests are commercially available, and more are currently under development. Congenital heart disease is frequently accompanied by genetic syndromes showing both cardiac and extra-cardiac anomalies. Congenital heart disease is the l...
متن کاملVariations of CITED2 Are Associated with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Chinese Population
CITED2 was identified as a cardiac transcription factor which is essential to the heart development. Cited2-deficient mice showed cardiac malformations, adrenal agenesis and neural crest defects. To explore the potential impact of mutations in CITED2 on congenital heart disease (CHD) in humans, we screened the coding region of CITED2 in a total of 700 Chinese people with congenital heart diseas...
