ADAM33 Polymorphisms Are Associated with Susceptibility to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a Korean Population

Association of HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Juvenile-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in Iranian Children

Introduction Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Many studies show HLA alleles can be associated with SLE. The aim of this study was to determine the association of HLA-DRB1 alleles with juvenile- onset in Iranian children. Materials and Methods At a case – control study, 31 children with systemic lupus erythematosus (case group) who referred to ...

Codon 72 Polymorphism of p53 Gene and Hematologic Manifestations in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic autoimmune disorder with unclear etiology. The importance of some genes in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus has been implicated. The gene polymorphism in codon 72 has attracted a lot of attention and its role in the occurrence or progression of many cancers and autoimmune diseases especially systemic lupus erythematosus has ...

Comparison of the prevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV, CMV and EBV infections in patients with systemic lupus erythromatosus and healthy population

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects almost all organs of the body, and viral infections are involved in its development and progression. The present study aimed to evaluate the serological status of some viral infections in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and a healthy population. Methods: This descriptive study conducted from May 2...

Genetic susceptibility to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is associated with CTLA-4 Gene Polymorphisms in the Chinese Population

ADAM33 gene polymorphisms in Southwestern Iranian patients with asthma

Objective(s): Asthma, the most frequent chronic respiratory disease, results from a complex interaction between multiple genes and environmental factors. To date, more than 100 candidate genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be associated with asthma. One of the discovered genes related to asthma is ADAM33. However, the relationship between ADAM33 gene polymorph...
