Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

14.9K
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...

Autoimmune Disorders

1.2K
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.

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

6.1K
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Immunology
  • Functional Genomics
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) have complex genetic and environmental influences.
  • Hundreds of risk variants identified show shared genetic patterns in IMDs.
  • Understanding the pathological mechanisms of these genetic associations remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in functional genomics related to IMDs.
  • To focus on the application of functional genomics in understanding systemic rheumatic IMDs.
  • To elucidate how genetic factors influence the etiopathogenesis of IMDs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on functional genomics and IMDs.
  • Analysis of transcriptomics, regulatory elements, and chromatin interactome data.
  • Integration of experimental characterization of genomic findings.

Main Results:

  • Functional genomics approaches are beginning to explain genetic associations in IMDs.
  • Key elements include transcriptomics, regulatory elements, and chromatin interactome.
  • These methods aid in understanding the genetic contribution to disease development.

Conclusions:

  • Functional genomics is crucial for deciphering the genetic underpinnings of IMDs.
  • Advances in this field are shedding light on the pathogenesis of systemic rheumatic diseases.
  • Further research integrating functional genomics is needed to fully understand IMD etiology.
