科学领域:

遗传学和精准医学遗传学和精准医学
代谢学代谢学代谢学
免疫学免疫学免疫学

背景情况:

类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 是一种普遍存在的自身免疫性疾病,其生物学机制尚不完全理解.
血液代谢物在RA病变发生中的特定作用在很大程度上仍未被阐明.

研究的目的:

调查1400种人类血液代谢物与患类风湿性关节炎的风险之间的因果关系.
为了确定可能影响RA易感性或进展的特定代谢物.

主要方法:

采用孟德尔的随机化 (MR) 分析,使用1400种血液代谢物的统计数据作为暴露和全基因组关联研究作为RA的终点.
使用逆变量权衡 (IVW) 作为主要方法,并补充了MR-Egger,加权中位数和模式方法.
进行了敏感性分析,包括科克兰Q测试,MR-Egger拦截,MR-PRESSO和留出一个分析,以确保结果的稳定性,并排除类和异质性.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

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...

Blood Types

Blood Types

Human blood is classified into different types based on the presence of antigens on the red blood cell's surface and antibodies in the plasma. Proper identification of blood type is essential for successful blood transfusion. The International Society of Blood Transfusion has identified 38 human blood types based on the surface antigens on the red blood cells. The most common types are ABO, Rh, and MNS blood types.
ABO blood group
ABO antigens are glycoproteins encoded by genes present on...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
