Autoimmune Disease Genetics 2013
The familial predilection toward autoimmunity is in part due to genetic risk factors, and recent studies have greatly expanded our understanding of the complex genetic architecture underlying autoimmune disease. Technical advances and the assembly of large patient cohorts have resulted in rapid progress in the field, which does not appear to be slowing. Studies which have included multiple ance...

متن کاملAutoimmune Disease: Genetics
Autoimmune diseases result from a breakdown of the mechanisms that control thymus (T-) and bursa-derived (B-) lymphocytes tolerance towards self antigens. B lymphocytes recognize antigens as conformation-dependent entities via the B-cell receptor (BCR) for antigen, a cell surface immunoglobulin molecule. Engagement of antigens by the BCR leads to B-lymphocyte activation and differentiation into...
متن کاملPrognosis in autoimmune and infectious disease: new insights from genetics
A well-recognised feature of autoimmune and infectious diseases is that their clinical course and eventual outcome can vary substantially between affected individuals. This variability in disease prognosis critically determines patient well-being, and yet is relatively poorly understood and largely understudied-with many investigators opting instead to study what causes disease development in t...
متن کاملAutoimmune thyroid disease: mechanism, genetics and current knowledge.
Recent epidemiological studies recognized a steady increase in the incidence of different autoimmune endocrine disorders, including autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). The etiology of AITD is multifactorial and involves genetic and environmental factors and apparently with a strong preponderance in females. There are mainly two types of AITD, Graves' disease and Hashimoto's disease and both of t...
