  1. 16. Genetic analysis of candidate susceptibility genes for type 1 diabetes

    Författare :Samina Asad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex disease where the pancreatic β-cells are destroyed in an autoimmune attack. For the patients, this leads to lifelong daily insulin treatment and increased risk for various kinds of complications. It is thought that both environmental as well as genetic factors act in concert to cause T1D. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Psoriatic arthritis: a complex disease : analyses on genetic and serological biomarkers and of comorbidity

    Författare :Kristina Juneblad; Gerd-Marie Alenius; Solbritt Rantapää-Dahlqvist; Lars-Erik Kristenssen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Psoriatic Arthritis; genetics; inflammasomes; polymorphisms; biomarkers; disease expression; disease activity; cardiovascular diseases; mortality; epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a heterogonous inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis. The disease leads to inflammation of peripheral joints, axial skeleton and/or enthesites, and can result in severe destruction of affected joints. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Genetic studies of the HLA locus in rheumatic diseases

    Författare :Emeli Lundström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) share a complex etiology consisting of both genetic and environmental components. Stimulation of lymphocytes and various other immune cells, release of cytokines, activation of complement and production of autoantibodies due to loss of tolerance to self-antigens, contributes to the pathogenesis of both RA and SLE.

  5. 19. Genetic studies of diabetes in northern Sweden

    Författare :Sofia Mayans; Dan Holmberg; Mats Eliasson; Outi Vaarala; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes; families; genetic; association; SNP; linkage; TCF7L2; CTLA-4; Calpain-10; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus represents a group of metabolic disorders caused by both environmental and genetic factors. The two most common forms of diabetes are type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). T2D is associated with obesity and the disease is caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic b-cell dysfunction. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Genetic factors predisposing to myasthenia gravis and related autoimmune disorders

    Författare :Ryan Ramanujam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder in which patients experience weakness of the skeletal or ocular-bulbar muscles. In most patients, anti-AChR antibodies affect the signal across the neuromuscular junction necessary for muscular contraction. LÄS MER
