1. Dissecting the Genetic Basis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus : The Pursuit of Functional Variants
Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects women during the childbearing years. SLE is characterized by the production of autoantibodies against nucleic acids and their interacting proteins. LÄS MER
2. The genetics of systemic lupus erythematosus : Mapping of susceptibility loci for human SLE
Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease affecting organs such as skin, jointsand kidneys. Characteristic for the disease is increased production of autoantibodies, in particular against dsDNA. Previous studies of SLE in mouse models and in humans indicate polygenic inheritance and genetic heterogeneity. LÄS MER
3. Genetic Characterization of Chicken Models for Autoimmune Disease
Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases are endemic, but the disease mechanisms are poorly understood. A way to better understand these are to find disease-regulating genes. However, this is difficult as the diseases are complex, with several genes as well as environmental factors influencing the development of disease. LÄS MER
4. Functional Role of Genetic Polymorphisms Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and complex autoimmune disorder characterized by a failure in the mechanism of self-tolerance and production of autoantibodies, potentially affecting any organ in the body. The genetic factors behind the disease have been extensively studied in the past years and to date a list of more than 30 loci have been associated with SLE. LÄS MER
5. Autoantibodies and genetic variation in rheumatoid arthritis : aspects on susceptibility and disease course
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation and subsequent destruction of synovial joints. Although its causes remain largely unknown, a substantial genetic contribution is known to exist. LÄS MER
