Immunochip SNP array identifies novel genetic variants conferring susceptibility to candidaemia.
Candidaemia is the fourth most common cause of bloodstream infection, with a high mortality rate of up to 40%. Identification of host genetic factors that confer susceptibility to candidaemia may aid in designing adjunctive immunotherapeutic strategies. Here we hypothesize that variation in immune genes may predispose to candidaemia. We analyse 118,989 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) acr...
متن کاملAn Immunochip-based interrogation of scleroderma susceptibility variants identifies a novel association at DNASE1L3
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to interrogate the genetic architecture and autoimmune pleiotropy of scleroderma susceptibility in the Australian population. METHODS We genotyped individuals from a well-characterized cohort of Australian scleroderma patients with the Immunochip, a custom array enriched for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at immune loci. Controls were taken from t...
متن کاملImmunochip analysis identifies multiple susceptibility loci for systemic sclerosis.
In this study, 1,833 systemic sclerosis (SSc) cases and 3,466 controls were genotyped with the Immunochip array. Classical alleles, amino acid residues, and SNPs across the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region were imputed and tested. These analyses resulted in a model composed of six polymorphic amino acid positions and seven SNPs that explained the observed significant associations in the reg...
متن کاملAn integrative genomics approach identifies novel pathways that influence candidaemia susceptibility
Candidaemia is a bloodstream infection caused by Candida species that primarily affects specific groups of at-risk patients. Because only small candidaemia patient cohorts are available, classical genome wide association cannot be used to identify Candida susceptibility genes. Therefore, we have applied an integrative genomics approach to identify novel susceptibility genes and pathways for can...
متن کاملElina Suviolahti SEARCH FOR GENETIC VARIANTS CONFERRING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO OBESITY AND RELATED METABOLIC TRAITS
Obesity increases the risk for several diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, osteoarthritis and certain cancers. In addition, obese individuals often have elevated blood pressure, increased levels of serum triglycerides (TG), free fatty acids (FFA) and insulin, as well as decreased serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels...
