Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.7K
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...

Incomplete Dominance

32.5K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

2.2K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Human Genetics

1.9K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

1.7K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Summary

Genetic factors significantly influence the development and progression of uveitis, an inflammatory eye condition. Understanding these genetic links, including immune system genes, is crucial for future uveitis research and treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Immune-mediated uveitis involves T-cells and macrophages, contributing to ocular tissue damage.
  • Uveitis presents diverse phenotypes and often follows complex, polygenic inheritance patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current in vitro and in vivo research on the role of genetics in uveitis development and clinical course.
  • To identify host genetic factors and immune imbalances contributing to uveitis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases for studies from 1990 to present.
  • Inclusion of clinical trials, comparative studies, case series, and reports on human subjects.
  • Manual search of references and selection of 55 relevant papers for analysis.

Main Results:

  • Identified associations between genetic factors and uveitis development and progression.
  • Key genes implicated include those for interleukins, chemokines, tumor necrosis factor, and the complement system.
  • Genome-wide scans are increasingly successful in pinpointing genetic loci and candidate genes.

Conclusions:

  • Genetic factors play a significant role in the pathogenesis and clinical course of uveitis.
  • Further research into uveitis-specific genetic factors is essential.
  • Advances in human genomics offer promising insights into uveitis mechanisms.
