MAGI2 Gene Region and Celiac Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-19)
Celiac disease (CD) patients present a loss of intestinal barrier function due to structural alterations in the tight junction (TJ) network, the most apical unions between epithelial cells. The association of TJ-related ...
Novel Loci for Childhood Body Mass Index and Shared Heritability with Adult Cardiometabolic Traits
(Public Library Science, 2020-10-12)
The genetic background of childhood body mass index (BMI), and the extent to which the well-known associations of childhood BMI with adult diseases are explained by shared genetic factors, are largely unknown. We performed ...
Celiac Diasease-associated lncRNA Named HCG14 Regulates NOD1 Expression in Intestinal Cells
(Wiley, 2018-08-01)
Objective:
The aim of the study is to identify additional celiac disease associated loci in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) independent from classical HLA risk alleles (HLA-DR3-DQ2) and to characterize their ...
A novel RT-QPCR-based assay for the relative quantification of residue specific m6A RNA methylation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12)
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common and abundant RNA modification. Recent studies have shown its importance in the regulation of several biological processes, including the immune response, and different approaches ...
The methylome of the celiac intestinal epithelium harbours genotype-independent alterations in the HLA region
(Nature Publishing, 2019-02-04)
The Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) locus and other DNA sequence variants identified in Genome-Wide Association (GWA) studies explain around 50% of the heritability of celiac disease (CD). However, the pathogenesis of CD ...
