Association of IL-10 rs1800896 (-1082 G/A) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Northeast of Iran
Background and objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex and systemic inflammatory disease in which the immune response is disturbed. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of regulatory cytokines including interleukin-10 (IL-10) may lead to exacerbated immune response and increased risk of RA. Here, we aimed to assess the association of IL-10 -1082 (G/A) (rs180...
متن کاملP-246: Gene Variation of TLR4 in Patients with Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition associated with degrees of pelvic pain and infertility. Toll-like receptors play a key role in immune response, by regulating inflammatory reactions and activating adaptive immune response to eliminate infectious pathogens and cancer debris. Pol...
متن کاملEvaluation of Behavioral Immune System and its Unique Effect on Prejudice and Stigmatization in Patients with Infectious Diseases
Introduction: Behavioral immune systems allow organisms to detect the presence of disease-causing pathogens in their environment more immediately and engage in behaviors that prevent them from coming into contact with objects and individuals. There is extensive research linking behavioral immune systems to a variety of prejudices. These prejudices cause labeling and ultimately social stigma on ...
متن کاملGenetics of Susceptibility to Infectious Diseases
W e and microbial pathogens are often locked inadynamicbattlemediated by their virulence factors and our defenses. If we do not mount effective immune responses to pathogens, we will not overcome infections. However, if we overreact, host immune cascades may make those infections more severe. Both nonspecific factors, such as age and general health status, as well as specific genetic factors co...
متن کاملEvolutionary Determinants of Genetic Variation in Susceptibility to Infectious Diseases in Humans
Although genetic variation among humans in their susceptibility to infectious diseases has long been appreciated, little focus has been devoted to identifying patterns in levels of variation in susceptibility to different diseases. Levels of genetic variation in susceptibility associated with 40 human infectious diseases were assessed by a survey of studies on both pedigree-based quantitative v...
متن کاملComparison of Immune Responses following Intradermal and Intramuscular Rabies Vaccination Methods
Rabies is a zoonotic viral disease. The causative agent is a negative-sense RNA genome virus of the genus Lyssavirus (Family: Rhabdoviridae). The disease, commonly transmitted by rabid dogs, is the cause of mortality of over 59000 humans worldwide annually. This disease can be prevented before the development of symptoms through proper vaccination even after exposure. Hence, improvement of the ...
