CTLA4 Gene Variants in Autoimmunity and Cancer: a Comparative Review
Gene association studies are less appealing in cancer compared to autoimmune diseases. Complexity, heterogeneity, variation in histological types, age at onset, short survival, and acute versus chronic conditions are cancer related factors which are different from an organ specific autoimmune disease, such as Grave’s disease, on which a large body of multicentre data is accumulated. For years t...
متن کاملRare Genetic Variants and High-Density Lipoprotein
Although static plasma concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), usually measured in the fasting state, is an excellent marker of atherosclerosis risk, its direct causal role in atherogenesis has lately been called into question. Strong evidence refuting a causal protective role for HDL has come from studies of rare genetic variants that affect plasma HDL-C concentrations. ...
متن کاملComprehensive Approach to Analyzing Rare Genetic Variants
Recent findings suggest that rare variants play an important role in both monogenic and common diseases. Due to their rarity, however, it remains unclear how to appropriately analyze the association between such variants and disease. A common approach entails combining rare variants together based on a priori information and analyzing them as a single group. Here one must make some assumptions ...
متن کاملAssociating rare genetic variants with human diseases
Citation: Zhang Q (2015) Associating rare genetic variants with human diseases. Genome researches have revealed that a large portion (over 50%) of genetic variants on human chromosomes are rare variants (RVs) with extremely low allele frequency (usually defined as less than 1%) in populations. In recent years, advances of DNA genotyping and sequencing technologies have been facilitating the dis...
