Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS01:11

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis.
  • Historically, PsA has been considered uncommon due to a lack of diagnostic criteria.
  • Recent evidence supports PsA as a unique clinical entity with significant morbidity and mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the unique features of psoriatic arthritis.
  • To emphasize the need for improved classification criteria for PsA.
  • To discuss the evolving treatment landscape for PsA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of epidemiological and clinical studies on psoriatic arthritis.
  • Analysis of the impact of traditional and novel medications on PsA progression.
  • Discussion of new classification criteria for PsA.

Main Results:

  • Epidemiological and clinical data confirm PsA as a distinct disease.
  • PsA can lead to severe disability and increased mortality.
  • Traditional treatments are insufficient for preventing joint damage progression.

Conclusions:

  • New classification criteria are essential for accurate PsA case definition.
  • Biologic agents offer potential for controlling inflammation and halting joint damage in PsA.
  • PsA requires dedicated research and therapeutic strategies.
