Two genetic loci independently confer susceptibility to autoimmune gastritis.
Autoimmune gastritis is a CD4+ T cell-mediated disease induced in genetically susceptible mice by thymectomy on the third day after birth. Previous linkage analysis indicated that Gasa1 and Gasa2, the major susceptibility loci for gastritis, are located on mouse chromosome 4. Here we verified these linkage data by showing that BALB.B6 congenic mice, in which the distal approximately 40 Mb of ch...
متن کاملGenetic loci contributing to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis do not confer susceptibility to systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the genes PRF1, GZMB, UNC13D, and Rab27a, which are involved in natural killer cell dysfunction and known to contribute to the risk of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), confer an increased risk of susceptibility to systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHODS Four SNPs across the PRF1 gene lo...
متن کاملSEPTIN12 Genetic Variants Confer Susceptibility to Teratozoospermia
It is estimated that 10-15% of couples are infertile and male factors account for about half of these cases. With the advent of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), many infertile men have been able to father offspring. However, teratozoospermia still remains a big challenge to tackle. Septins belong to a family of cytoskeletal proteins with GTPase activity and are involved in various biolo...
متن کاملTwo autoimmune diabetes loci influencing T cell apoptosis control susceptibility to experimental autoimmune myocarditis.
The pathogenesis of immune-mediated myocarditis depends on genetic and environmental factors. To study the genetic mechanisms, we have developed a model of experimental autoimmune myocarditis in the A.SW mouse. Here we provide evidence that loci on murine chromosome 6, and possibly chromosome 1, are involved in regulating susceptibility. Moreover, these loci overlap with loci implicated in othe...
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to autoimmune liver disease.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) are considered as putative autoimmune diseases of the liver. Whereas strong evidence that bacterial infection may trigger PBC exists, the etiologies for PSC and AIH remain unknown. Although there have been significant discoveries of genetic polymorphisms that may underlie the susceptibility to t...
