Corrigendum: Genetic Variations of NLR family genes in Behcet’s Disease
This study aimed to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of five NLR family genes (NOD1, NOD2, NLRP1, NLRP3 and CIITA) are associated with Behcet's disease (BD) in a Chinese Han population. The study was carried out in 950 BD patients and 1440 controls for 19 SNPs in the selected NLR genes. In the first-stage study, significantly decreased frequencies of the CIITA//rs12932...
متن کاملSymptom management in Behcets disease.
OBJECTIVE To determine the symptoms experienced by patients diagnosed with Behcet's Disease and how they cope with them. METHODS The qualitative study was conducted from September 2013 to March 2014 at Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital, Turkey, comprising patients having all symptoms of Behcet's Disease.

متن کاملRole of Cytokines in Behcets Disease
Behcets disease (BD) is considered a chronic relapsing multisystem inflammatory disorder. It has a worldwide distribution, but it is more prevalent in Mediterranean countries. Although its etiopathogenesis remains elusive, Immunological investigations have demonstrated the presence of immune dysregulation among the patients with BD. The disease is characterized by infiltration of lymphocytes an...
متن کاملGenetic variations of DICKKOPF family genes might not be associated with gastric cancer susceptibility
BACKGROUND Recent studies have implicated that members of the DICKKOPF (DKK) were causally involved in large number of human cancers. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the genetic variations of DKK family genes and the risk of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Six SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) of DKK family genes, including rs2241529 in DKK1, rs3733635, rs170...
متن کاملNLR family member NLRC5 is a transcriptional regulator of MHC class I genes.
MHC class I plays a critical role in the immune defense against viruses and tumors by presenting antigens to CD8 T cells. An NLR protein, class II transactivator (CIITA), is a key regulator of MHC class II gene expression that associates and cooperates with transcription factors in the MHC class II promoter. Although CIITA also transactivates MHC class I gene promoters, loss of CIITA in humans ...
