- この研究では,ビタミンD代謝遺伝子の4つのSNVと,メキシコのメスティゾ集団におけるビタミンD低下症とRAとの関連を調査しています.
研究 の 目的:
- ビタミンD代謝遺伝子の4つのSNVと低ビタミンDの関連性を調査する.
- これらのSNVとRAの関連性とその臨床的疾患活性を調べる.
- 選択されたSNVの間の遺伝子相互作用を探求する.
主な方法:
- 研究には204人の女性RA患者と204人の女性対照群が参加した.
- ビタミンDの血清濃度 (カルシジオール) はELISAを用いて測定した.
- SNVはTaqMan®プローブを使用してゲノタイプ化され,多要素次元縮小 (MDR) で分析されました.
主要な成果:
- MDR分析では,rs10877012 (CYP27B1) のGGとTTゲノタイプは,カルシジオルの濃度が低いと相関していることが示された.
- rs731236 TaqI (VDR) のCTおよびCCゲノタイプは,RAの感受性およびより高い疾患活動と関連していました.
- ロジスティック回帰では,低ビタミン症 D (OR=1. 8) と rs10877012 (CYP27B1) のGG遺伝子型と,RA (OR=1. 9) と高い DAS28- ESR (OR=3. 6) とのrs731236 TaqI (VDR) のCT遺伝子型が確認されました.
結論:
- rs10877012 (CYP27B1) のGG遺伝子型は,低ビタミンDへの感受性に関連しています.

Connective Tissue Cell Types
3.4K
Connective tissue develops from the mesoderm of a developing embryo and consists of cells, fibers, and ground substance: a gel-like material containing large complexes of carbohydrates and proteins. Connective tissue was first identified as a separate tissue family in the 18th century, and Johannes Peter Muller coined the term connective tissue.
Fat cells (adipocytes), smooth muscle cells (myoblasts), and bone cells (osteoblasts) are some connective tissue cell types. Some immune system cells...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
14.1K
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...

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
5.6K
The skin plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D, a vital nutrient for various physiological processes in the body. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin through a series of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight.
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin...

Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
3.6K
The growth and maintenance of bone are regulated by a combination of nutritional factors, including vitamins, such as vitamin A, B12, C, D, and K.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...

Vitamins
981
Vitamins, derived from the Latin word for life, are essential organic substances required in small quantities for optimal growth and overall well-being. Unlike other organic nutrients, vitamins don't act as sources of energy or building materials but rather facilitate these nutrients' utilization by the body. Vitamins are predominantly coenzymes, assisting enzymes in specific chemical actions, like the oxidation of glucose for energy involving B vitamins. Most vitamins are not produced...

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...
