    Study Shows Non-synonymous Variant (Gly307Ser) in CD226 Confers Higher Risk for Multiple Autoimmune Diseases

    Study Shows Non-synonymous Variant (Gly307Ser) in CD226 Confers Higher Risk for Multiple Autoimmune Diseases - New Study on CD and Multiple Autoimmune Diseases
    Caption: New Study on CD and Multiple Autoimmune Diseases

    Celiac.com 07/16/2010 - Advances in genetic science are allowing researchers to look more deeply into the genetic causes of auto-immune diseases, including celiac disease.

    One recent study showed that a particular variation, called the non-synonymous (Gly307Ser) variant, rs763361, in the CD226 gene carries a higher risk for multiple autoimmune diseases in European Caucasian populations. At the conclusion of that study, though, there was still no comparable study of shared autoimmunity with CD226 in non-European populations.

    An international research team set out to investigate any connection between this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with autoimmune diseases in non-European populations. The team included Amit K. Maiti, Xana Kim-Howard, Swapan K. Nath, Celi Sun, and Parvathi Viswanathan; Laura Guillén and Alejandra C. Cherñavsky; Xiaoxia Qian and Nan Shen; Adriana Rojas-Villarraga and Juan-Manuel Anaya; Carlos Cañas, Gabriel J. Tobón; and Koichi Matsuda

    They are affiliated variously with the Genetic Epidemiology Unit of the Arthritis and Immunology Research Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation in Oklahoma City, OK, USA, the Immunogenetic Laboratory of the Hospital de Clínicas José de San Martín at the Universidad de Buenos Aires in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Shanghai Institute of Rheumatology at Renji Hospital, JiaoTong University School of Medicine in Shanghai, P.R. China, the Centre for Autoimmune Diseases Research (CREA) at the Universidad del Rosario-Corporación para Investigaciones Biológicas in Bogota, Colombia, the Rheumatology Unit of the Fundación Valle del Lili in Cali, Colombia and the Laboratory of Molecular Medicine at the Human Genome Centre of the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo, Japan.

    To evaluate any connection between this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with autoimmune diseases in non-European populations, the team compared case–control association between rs763361 and celiac disease (CED) samples from Argentina; SLE, RA, type-1 diabetes (T1D) and primary SS (pSS) from Colombia; and SLE samples from China and Japan.

    They then genotyped rs763361 and used 2-test to evaluate its genetic association with multiple auto-immune disorders. For each association, the team calculated odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI.

    Their results show clearly that rs763361 shares a significant association with celiac disease in Argentina (P = 0.0009, OR = 1.60). They also noted indications of possible association with Chinese SLE (P = 0.01, OR = 1.19), RA (P = 0.047, OR = 1.25), SLE (P = 0.0899, OR = 1.24) and pSS (P = 0.09, OR = 1.33) in Colombians.

    The team then conducted meta-analyses for SLE, using their three populations, and T1D, using their population together with three published populations. Those analyses showed a significant association with rs763361, P = 0.009 (OR = 1.16) and P = 1.1.46 x 10–9 (OR = 1.14), respectively.

    The team's results show clearly that the coding variation rs763361 in the CD226 gene is associated with multiple auto-immune disorders in non-European populations.

    Taken together, these studies show that the non-synonymous (Gly307Ser) variant, rs763361, in the CD226 gene carries a higher risk for multiple autoimmune diseases in both European Caucasian and non-European populations.

    Celiac.com 09/03/2003 - A recent study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences looked at the differences in how men and women cope with celiac disease. The study concludes that gender should be taken into account in the treatment of celiac disease to improve its outcome. The biggest flaw in this study is with the number of people in it—only 10. I think that it is difficult to draw such conclusions using such a small sample of people, and that a larger study of this type needs to be done to draw more solid conclusions. Additionally, the poorer outcome for women in this study may be due to the fact that they experienced more bowel-related symptoms than did the men, which may not be due at all to their "emotionally oriented s...

    Celiac.com 04/23/2009 - Celiac disease is far more common among people of European descent, especially northern European descent, than among other populations. In East Asia, including China, there have been only sporadic reports of celiac disease. Historically, celiac disease has been only rarely reported in Asia.
    Due to the absence of reports, and since Asian diets are traditionally low in wheat, barley or rye, it has been taken as a given that Asian populations don't really suffer from celiac disease. Still, there have been no comprehensive studies undertaken to verify this notion.
    Recently, a team of Chinese researchers set out to put that assumption to the test, and to determine if Open Original Shared Link.

    Celiac.com 03/10/2010 - A team of researchers recently observed that monocytes differentiated with IL-15 support Th17 and Th1 responses to wheat gliadin. They discuss the implications of this discovery for celiac disease in a recent article in Clinical Immunology.
    The research team included K. M. Harris, A. Fasano, and D. L. Mann of the Pathology Department at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
    It is understood that interleukin (IL)-15 contributes to the immuno-pathogenesis of celiac disease. However, the effect of IL-15 on APC that shape adaptive immune responses to gliadin is not well understood. Using PBMC from healthy individuals, the team demonstrated that monocytes differentiated with IL-15 (IL15-DC) produced IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-15, IL-23, TNFalpha and CCL20 in...

    Celiac.com 03/24/2014 - Two new studies have confirmed colonization of gluten-degrading bacteria in the human mouth and in the upper gastrointestinal tracts respectively.
    Both studies come out of the Department of Periodontology and Oral Biology, Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. The research teams included Maram Zamakhchari, Guoxian Wei, Floyd Dewhirst, Jaeseop Lee, Detlef Schuppan, Frank G. Oppenheim, and Eva J. Helmerhorst.
    Gluten is notoriously hard for mammals to digest, because gliadin proteins resist mammalian proteolytic enzymes in the gut, so researchers wanted to find sources of gluten-digesting microbial enzymes from the upper gastro-intestinal tract. These microbial enzymes have the potential to neutralize the gluten...
