Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

14.5K
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

26.0K
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.

Glaucoma: Overview

919
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

717
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Uveitis is a major cause of visual impairment, classified as infectious or non-infectious.
  • Non-infectious uveitis encompasses conditions like acute anterior uveitis (AAU), Behçet's disease (BD), and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.
  • Genetic and environmental factors contribute to non-infectious uveitis pathogenesis, with strong links to human leucocyte antigens (HLA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on genetic associations in major forms of non-infectious uveitis.
  • To summarize findings from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) identifying susceptibility loci.
  • To outline future research directions in uveitis genetics.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of genetic association studies in uveitis.
  • Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for uveitis susceptibility loci.
  • Focus on both HLA and non-HLA gene associations.

Main Results:

  • Strong associations exist between specific HLA alleles and uveitis types (e.g., HLA-B27 with AAU, HLA-B51 with BD, HLA-A29 with birdshot chorioretinopathy).
  • GWAS have identified non-HLA loci, such as IL23R, associated with BD, VKH, and AAU.
  • Genetic links are established for sarcoid uveitis, Blau Syndrome, and haploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20).

Conclusions:

  • Genetic factors, particularly HLA and non-HLA genes, play a crucial role in the development of various non-infectious uveitis forms.
  • Understanding these genetic associations is vital for unraveling uveitis pathogenesis.
  • Further research into genetic associations will guide future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for uveitis.
