21. Genetic variations influencing susceptibility to multiple sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease affecting approximately 12 000 individuals in Sweden. Epidemiological studies have shown that most likely several genetic variations contribute and interact with each other as well as with environmental factors in the development of MS. LÄS MER
22. Genetic susceptibility to breast and endometrial cancer
Sammanfattning : Hormones are central in the carcinogenic process in the breast and in the uterine epithelium. Individual genetically determined variation in the response to hormonal influence may alter susceptibility to breast and endometrial cancers. Many small studies of this hypothesis have generated inconclusive results. LÄS MER
23. Interaction of genetic susceptibility and traffic-related air pollution in cardiovascular disease
Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed at investigating gene-environment interaction in cardiovascular disease (CVD). A study population of 618 coronary heart disease (CHD) cases (of which 192 first-time acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients) and 3614 randomly selected population controls was genotyped for genetic variants in genes coding for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and glutathione s-transferase (GST).

24. Genetic studies of hypospadias
Sammanfattning : Hypospadias is defined as an abnormal opening of the urethra on the underside of the penis. It is a frequently found malformation with an incidence of 3 per 1000 males. The aim of this thesis was to identify genetic and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of hypospadias. LÄS MER
25. Genetic Determinants of Obesity in Relation to Diet, Weight Gain and Mortality
Sammanfattning : Obesity is one of the major health concerns that has reached epidemic proportions globally. It is generally believed to be a result of interactions between genetic and environmental factors. LÄS MER
