چکیده

Background Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is characterised by chronic inflammation in skeletal muscle, skin, and other target organs. Prognosis has improved in the past 10-20 years, but it is still a disease with high morbidity and considerable sequelae such as muscle weakness, joint contractures, calcinosis and lipodystrophy. There is increasing evidence that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with chronic inflammatory diseases. In the present study, we investigated known SNPs within genes that previously have been associated with inflammatory myopathies, including JDM and dermatomyositis.

Toll Like Receptor-4 896A/G Gene Variation, a Risk Factor for Migraine Headaches

Background: The pathogenesis of migraine involves immune-mediated mechanisms in the vascular endothelium. Toll like receptor 4 (TLR-4) is a signaling receptor of innate immunity which plays a role in various neuropathologies related to neuron inflammation. Objective: This case/control study is aimed to investigate whether TLR- 4 896A/G variation is related to migraine headaches in an Iranian po...

P-225: Gene Variations of Toll-Like Receptor 3 in Endometriosis

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder that is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Recently, endometriosis has been alternatively described as an immune, genetic and hormonal disease caused by exposure to environmental factors. Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) comprises a family of receptors through directly recognizing exogenous and endogenous ligands play...

ارتباط پلی‌مورفیسم‌های ژنتیکی پذیرنده شبه Toll 4 (TLR4) و استعداد ابتلا به سل ریوی

  Background & Aim: Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) are the members of the Toll-like receptor family and play important roles in recognition and subsequent immune response against mycobacteria. Two functional polymorphisms for TLR2 (Arg677Trp, C à T Arg753Gln, G à A) and TLR4 (Asp299Gly, A à G Thr399Ile, C à T) genes have been associated with a negative influence on ...

P-189: Gene Variations of Toll-Like Receptor 2 in Endometriosis

Background: Endometriosis, a common, benign, estrogendependent and chronic inflammatory condition, is characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue that is found primarily in the peritoneum, ovaries and rectovaginal septum. In addition to its usual description as a hormonal disorder, some genetic, immunological and environmental factors can affect this disease. Toll-like receptors (...
