1. Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy : studies of genetic factors modifying the phenotype of the disease
Sammanfattning : Background. Familial Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited systemic amyloid disease. The disease is caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene, where close to 100 different amyloidogenic mutations have been identified. LÄS MER
2. Genetic Studies of Immunological Diseases in Dogs and Humans
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents genetic studies aiming at enlarging our knowledge regarding the genetic factors underlying two immune-mediated diseases, hypothyroidism and autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD), in dogs and humans, respectively.Genetic and environmental factors are indicated to contribute to canine hypothyroidism, which can be considered a model for human Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT).

3. CYTOGENETIC AND MOLECULAR GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF LIPOMAS
Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis was to study cytogenetic and molecular genetic aberrations in lipomas. For this purpose, chromosome banding analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), as well as high resolution single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)–arrays were used to identify recurrent chromosomal aberrations in lipomas. LÄS MER
4. B cell transcriptomics and immunoglobulin genetics in rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the peripheral joints. The exact disease pathology remains to be elucidated, but it has been hypothesized that autoreactive B cells and autoantibodies play a major role in the etiology. LÄS MER
5. Translational studies on bipolar disorder and anorexia nervosa
Sammanfattning : Translational medicine aims at closing the gap between basic and clinical sciences in an integrative way. Psychiatry is one of the few medical specialties in which diagnosis is primarily based on clinical observation and all mental disorders are defined by abnormal behaviors and cognitions. LÄS MER
