1. Cancer Risk Assessment of Glycidol : Evaluation of a Multiplicative Risk Model for Genotoxic Compounds
Sammanfattning : Humans are exposed to chemical compounds in everyday life, both from the environment and from endogenous processes. Some compounds constitute a risk for cancer development. One such compound is glycidol, which is genotoxic and an animal carcinogen. It is the model compound of this work, partly due to its presence in food. LÄS MER
2. 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).

3. Which Genes are Involved? - Statistical Planning and Analysis of Human Genetic Samples
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of six papers related to the statistical planning and analysis of human genetic samples. The first four mainly concern statistical methodology, while the last two are applied papers in genetics and medicin. In paper A an alternative method of estimating the locus specific sibling relative risk .lambda. LÄS MER
4. Genetic analysis of candidate susceptibility genes for type 1 diabetes
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
5. Genetics of primary immunodeficiency diseases
Sammanfattning : Selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) (serum IgA concentration of T), which abolished expression of the TACI molecule. In addition, we found the previously recognized C104R and C172Y mutations in a heterozygous form in 2 patients with CVID and one, novel, heterozygous P42T mutation. LÄS MER
