Linkage Analysis in Autoimmune Addison’s Disease: NFATC1 as a Potential Novel Susceptibility Locus
BACKGROUND Autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD) is a rare, highly heritable autoimmune endocrinopathy. It is possible that there may be some highly penetrant variants which confer disease susceptibility that have yet to be discovered. METHODS DNA samples from 23 multiplex AAD pedigrees from the UK and Norway (50 cases, 67 controls) were genotyped on the Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array. Linkage analysi...
متن کاملA major linkage region on distal chromosome 4 confers susceptibility to mouse autoimmune gastritis.
Although much is known about the pathology of human chronic atrophic (type A, autoimmune) gastritis, its cause is poorly understood. Mouse experimental autoimmune gastritis (EAG) is a CD4+ T cell-mediated organ-specific autoimmune disease of the stomach that is induced by neonatal thymectomy of BALB/c mice. It has many features similar to human autoimmune gastritis. To obtain a greater understa...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel psoriasis susceptibility locus at 1p and evidence of epistasis between PSORS1 and candidate loci.
The pathogenesis of all forms of psoriasis remains obscure. Segregation analysis and twin studies together with ethnic differences in disease frequency all point to an underlying genetic susceptibility to psoriasis, which is both complex and likely to reflect the action of a number of genes. We performed a genome wide analysis using a total of 271 polymorphic autosomal markers on 284 sib relati...
متن کاملFine-scale mapping at IGAD1 and genome-wide genetic linkage analysis implicate HLA-DQ/DR as a major susceptibility locus in selective IgA deficiency and common variable immunodeficiency.
Selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) and common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) are the most common primary immunodeficiencies in humans. A high degree of familial clustering, marked differences in the population prevalence among ethnic groups, association of IgAD and CVID in families, and a predominant inheritance pattern in multiple-case pedigrees have suggested a strong, shared genetic predispos...
متن کاملDissecting the Genetic Susceptibility to Graves’ Disease in a Cohort of Patients of Italian Origin
Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune oligogenic disorder with a strong hereditary component. Several GD susceptibility genes have been identified and confirmed during the last two decades. However, there are very few studies that evaluated susceptibility genes for GD in specific geographic subsets. Previously, we mapped a new locus on chromosome 3q that was unique to GD families of Italian ori...
