Genetic variation in the transforming growth factor-β1 gene is associated with susceptibility to IgA nephropathy
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence of genetic risk for susceptibility to IgA nephropathy. Among several candidate genes related to immunological regulation in renal tissue, TGFB1 is known to be a contributor to proliferation and the development of fibrosis. METHODS We analysed several SNPs in a region of this gene using 212 DNA samples from biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy patients, 146 men an...
متن کاملNull Allele Frequencies at HLA-G Locus in Iranian Healthy Subjects
Background: HLA-G gene contains 15 alleles including a null allele, HLA-G*0105N. Previous studies have shown that HLA-G*0105N does not encode the complete HLA-G1 or HLA-G5 isoforms but encodes a functional HLA-G protein with the ability to in-hibit NK cell cytolysis. Thus, although the biological functions of HLA-G1 and HLA-G5 proteins are abrogated, other isoforms such as HLA-G2 can replace th...
متن کاملHLA-B*27/HLA-B*07 in combination with D6S273-134 allele is associated with increased susceptibility to juvenile spondyloarthropathies.
OBJECTIVE Juvenile spondylarthropathies (jSpA) are polygenic and the clustering of disease in families is caused mainly by genetic factors. Our aim was to look for possible associations of other HLA-A and B specificities, MICA and D6S273 microsatellite polymorphisms that might play a role in determining the susceptibility to jSpA. PATIENTS AND METHODS jSpA were diagnosed in 74 Croatian childr...
متن کاملHLA-DRB and HLA-DQB Allele and Haplotype Frequencies in Iranian Patients with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis.
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is known as the most common chronic disease of the oral cavity, which affects a range of 5-25% of the population. RAS appears to be associated with some human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles and haplotypes. This study attempts to survey the distribution of HLA-DRB and -DQB alleles among Iranian RAS patients and healthy controls. In order to evaluate ...
