Insulin Resistance Exacerbates Genetic Predisposition to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Individuals Without Diabetes
(HEPATOLOGY COMMUNICATIONS, 2019-07)
The accumulation of excess fat in the liver (hepatic steatosis) in the absence of heavy alcohol consumption causes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which has become a global epidemic. Identifying metabolic risk ...
Novel HLA Class I Alleles Outside the Extended DR3 Haplotype Are Protective against Autoimmune Hepatitis
(Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology, 2019-06-18)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: HLA class II allele, DRB1*03:01, is the most common genetic risk factor for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), but other unrecognized HLA related risks exist.
METHODS: We compared the HLA class I (A, ...
Clinicopathological and epidemiological significance of breast cancer subtype reclassification based on p53 immunohistochemical expression
(NPJ Breast Cancer, 2019-07-25)
TP53 mutations are common in breast cancer and are typically associated with more aggressive tumor characteristics, but little is known about the clinicopathological and epidemiological relevance of p53 protein expression, ...
Th1-type immune responses to Porphyromonas gingivalis antigens exacerbate angiotensin II-dependent hypertension and vascular dysfunction
(British Journal of Pharmacology, 2019-06)
Background and Purpose Emerging evidence indicates that hypertension is mediated by immune mechanisms. We hypothesized that exposure to Porphyromonas gingivalis antigens, commonly encountered in periodontal disease, can ...
Exome sequencing of 457 autism families recruited online provides evidence for autism risk genes
(NPJ Genomic Medicine, 2019-08-23)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a genetically heterogeneous condition, caused by a combination of rare de novo and inherited variants as well as common variants in at least several hundred genes. However, significantly ...
