Polymorphisms at the innate immune receptor TLR2 are associated with Borrelia infection in a wild rodent population.
The discovery of the key role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in initiating innate immune responses and modulating adaptive immunity has revolutionized our understanding of vertebrate defence against pathogens. Yet, despite their central role in pathogen recognition and defence initiation, there is little information on how variation in TLRs influences disease susceptibility in natural population...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) gene polymorphisms are not associated with sarcoidosis in the Japanese population
PURPOSE Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas, with varied clinical manifestations. The common etiology of sarcoidosis is uncertain, but it is thought to be triggered by an exogenous antigenic stimulus, such as some bacterial proteins. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize microbial components and elicit innate as well as adapti...
متن کاملImmune Thrombocytopenia Associated with Hepatitis A Infection in Children
Hepatitis A infection is usually a self–limited disease during childhood. Autoimmune manifestations are rarely reported among patients with HA infection. We describe a previously healthy 6-yr-old male with acute hepatitis A who developed immune thrombocytopenia.
متن کاملToll-Like Receptor (TLR2 and TLR4) Polymorphisms: Markers of Innate Immunity in Oral Infection in Children
Introduction: Innate immunity is activated with the participation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are signal molecules essential for the cellular response to bacterial cell wall components. Aim: The aim of the study was to use gene identification of Toll-like receptors (TLR2 and TLR4) to investigate this marker of innate immunity in children with chronic infl...
متن کاملAre polymorphisms in MTRR A66G and MTHFR C677T genes associated with congenital heart diseases in Iranian population?
Background: The 5, 10-methyleneterahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) are two essential enzymes involved in folate metabolism. The relationship between genetic polymorphisms and congenital heart defects (CHDs) is inconsistent. Our aim was to investigate the association between two well-known polymorphisms of MTHFR and MTRR genes, C677T and A66G, respectively,...
