Non-MHC Risk Alleles in Rheumatoid Arthritis and in the Syntenic Chromosome Regions of Corresponding Animal Models
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a polygenic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the synovial joints. Numerous animal models show similarities to RA in humans; some of them not only mimic the clinical phenotypes but also demonstrate the involvement of homologous genomic regions in RA. This paper compares corresponding non-MHC genomic regions identified in rodent and human genome-wide association...
متن کاملLinkage analysis of microsatellite markers on chromosome 5 in an F2 population of Japanese quail to identify quantitative trait loci affecting carcass traits
An F2 Japanese quail population was developed by crossing two strains (wild and white) to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for performance and carcass traits. A total of 472 F2 birds were reared and slaughtered at 42 days of age. Performance and carcass traits were measured on all of the F2 individuals. Parental (P0), F1 and F2 individuals were genotyped with 3 microsatellites from quail chrom...
متن کاملAdvanced intercross line mapping suggests that ncf1 (ean6) regulates severity in an animal model of guillain-barre syndrome.
We here present the first genetic fine mapping of experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN), the animal model of Guillain-Barré syndrome, in a rat advanced intercross line. We identified and refined a total of five quantitative trait loci on rat chromosomes 4, 10, and 12 (RNO4, RNO10, RNO12), showing linkage to splenic IFN-gamma secretion and disease severity. All quantitative trait loci were shar...
متن کاملLocalization of quantitative trait loci regulating adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats: evidence for genetic factors common to multiple autoimmune diseases.
Adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) in rats is a widely used autoimmune experimental model with many features similar to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To identify potential genetic regulatory mechanisms in RA, we conducted genome-wide linkage analysis in F2 progeny of arthritis-susceptible Dark Agouti (DA) and relatively resistant Fischer 344 (F344) inbred rats. We compared the data with our previous...
متن کاملGenetic and molecular basis of quantitative trait loci of arthritis in rat: genes and polymorphisms.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease, the pathogenesis of which is affected by multiple genetic and environmental factors. To understand the genetic and molecular basis of RA, a large number of quantitative trait loci (QTL) that regulate experimental autoimmune arthritis have been identified using various rat models for RA. However, identifying the particular responsible genes wit...
