Study of active duty military for pulmonary disease related to environmental deployment exposures (STAMPEDE).
RATIONALE Because of increased levels of airborne particulate matter in Southwest Asia, deployed military personnel are at risk for developing acute and chronic lung diseases. Increased respiratory symptoms are reported, but limited data exist on reported lung diseases. OBJECTIVES To evaluate new respiratory complaints in military personnel returning from Southwest Asia to determine potential...
متن کاملEpigenetics and environmental exposures.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that genetic factors are inadequate to fully explain many processes that shape development and disease. For example, monozygotic twin pairs, despite sharing identical DNA sequences, are often discordant for many traits and diseases, indicating that the same genotype can give rise to distinct phenotypes. This points towards the involvement of additional facto...

متن کاملHLA and environmental interactions in sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatosis of unknown etiology despite being described over 100 years ago. While both genetic predisposition and environmental exposures have been proposed as playing a role in this disease, there have not been any systematic investigations of gene-environmental interaction in this disease. In the ACCESS dataset, detailed environmental histories and high resolution...
متن کاملEnvironmental exposures in utero and microRNA
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Understanding the effects of in-utero exposures to environmental agents is of great importance as the resulting deregulation of biological processes can affect both fetal development and health outcomes that manifest later in life. Due to their established role in developmental processes and inherent stability ex vivo, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as attractive candidates t...
