Polymorphisms in SELE Gene and Risk of Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis in Chinese: A Case-Control Study
BACKGROUND Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) is characterized by chronic pulmonary inflammation and fibrotic nodular lesions that usually lead to progressive fibrosis. Inflammation is the first step in the development of CWP. E-selectin, an adhesion molecule, is involved in the development of various inflammatory diseases. METHODS We investigated the association between the functional polymo...

Background & Objective: Cytokines are immune system factors known to play a key role in both HCV clearance and the development of infection the impact of host genetic factors on the clinical outcome of HCV infection has not been elucidated. On the other hand, the impact of Genetic changes like Single nucleotide polymorphisms on expression rate and function of Cytokine is under study. The aim ...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in Inflammasome Genes and Risk of Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis in a Chinese Population
BACKGROUND Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), resulting from the inhalation of silica-containing coal mine dust, is characterized by fibrosing nodular lesions that eventually develop into progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Recently, it has been hypothesized that inflammasomes could have a crucial role in the host response to silica and recent studies show that the inflammasome contributes to infl...
متن کاملLRBA Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis: A Case–Control Study from China
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) is a member of the WDL-BEACH-WD (WBW) gene family. Defects in this gene are associated with the disordered autoimmunity in various diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the association between the functional polymorphisms in LRBA and risk of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) in a Chinese p...
متن کاملThe association of FokI and ApaI polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor gene with autoimmune thyroid diseases in the northwest of Iran
Background: Some genetic factors are involved in the etiology of Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves’ disease as autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs). Effects of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in AITDs development have already been investigated in some previous studies. However, no study has been done on the association between VDR FokI and ApaI polymorphisms and AITDs in an Iranian po...
