Résumé :

This thesis includes work on the genetics of intestinal inflammatory disorders, concentrating on coeliac disease and Crohn’s disease. It explores how common genetic variants influence risk of complex phenotypes including immunological intolerance to gluten (coeliac disease) and intolerance to therapeutic agents (azathioprine and mercaptopurine) used in the treatment of intestinal inflammatory diseases. Finally it presents work aiming to move from genetic associations with complex phenotypes to understanding of how these variants modulate immunological processes. Results of a large genome wide

Résumé :

Corneal transplantation is the oldest, most common and usually the most successful type of solid tissue allograft. The acceptancc of corneal allografts compared to other categories of allografts is called immune privilege. However, some conditions rob the corneal allograft of its immune privilege and promote rejection, which remains the leading cause of corneal graft failure. The precise immune mechanism underlying graft failure is incompletely understood. While differences in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules between donor and host contribute to the alloreactivity driving the donor-anti

Résumé :

The main focus of my PhD has been the analysis of rare and common variants in genetic susceptibility to two complex traits: nicotine dependence (ND) and cluster headache (CH). Firstly, we conducted a genetic study to investigate the role of genetic variation at CHRNA7 and CHRFAM7A in smoking phenotypes, and to test the hypothesis that 7nAChR variation may modulate the efficacy of varenicline in smoking cessation. The study was performed on 408 regular tobacco smokers, recruited at smoking cessation centers, including 142 individuals treated with varenicline. We determined the CHRNA7 and CHRF

Background: Circulating lipids levels, as well as several familial lipid metabolism disorders, are strongly associated with initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and incidence of myocardial infarction (MI).

Uterine leiomyomata (UL), commonly known as fibroids, are a major public health problem given their extreme prevalence (>70%), severity of associated symptoms, and indication for hysterectomies in women of reproductive age. Familial aggregation and twin studies have provided evidence for a genetic component to predisposition to develop UL. To date, a small number of genes involved in UL biology, including HMGA2, have been discovered through cytogenetic studies of the tumors. HMGA2 is involved in recurrent translocations in UL and a TC repeat polymorphism in the gene is associated with UL diagn

The main aim of this thesis was to uncover common low penetrance variants that influence susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC).

Résumé :

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital malformation with a birth prevalence of 7/1000. CHD may occur as Mendelian syndromic disorders or as isolated conditions. The latter represent the majority (~80%) of CHD cases. Recent technological advancements have allowed large-scale genome-wide characterization of copy number variants (CNVs), which have been proposed to contribute to the risk of sporadic CHD. This thesis presents a genome-wide CNV study involving 2256 sporadic, isolated CHD patients, 283 trio CHD families, and 1538 ancestry-matched controls that were typed on the

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are created by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, and are established human carcinogens.

In addition, it is not known if genes involved in metabolizing xenobiotic compounds modify the risk of breast cancer in women exposed to PAHs. The objectives of this study were to (1) estimate the association between PAH exposure and breast cancer, (2) examine how variants of select xenobiotic metabolizing genes influence breast cancer risk, and (3) assess how these var

Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified variants within the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) locus as the strongest predictors of obesity amongst all obesity-associated gene loci.

Résumé :

Schizophrenia is a complex disorder affecting 1% of the population and is highly heritable, but the majority of contributing genetic factors has remained elusive. Current risk estimates for clinical practice are primarily determined by family history and associated empirical risk. Copy number variants (CNVs) may hold the key to explaining the missing heritability in schizophrenia research; schizophrenia risk estimates as high as 30% have been found for the most-studied CNV associated with schizophrenia, 22q11.

The human genome's strongest influences on two common diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and schizophrenia, arise from genetic variation in the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) locus.

Loci that exist in many structural forms and vary widely in copy number have been difficult to analyze molecularly. As a result,

Résumé :

Small-for-gestational age (SGA) births are defined as babies who are born at less than the 10th percentile of weight for their sex and gestational age based on population growth standards1. SGA babies may be at risk for type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension later in life, although the exact biological mechanisms behind SGA birth are not fully understood1. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) genetic variants are known to influence the ability of PON1 enzymes to prevent oxidative damage by hydrolyzing phospholipids, lipid peroxide by-products, and amino acid by-products such as homocystein

Résumé :

Genetic variants and traits in metabolic signaling pathways may interact with lifestyle factors such as obesity, physical activity, and exogenous estrogen (E), influencing postmenopausal colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but these interrelated pathways are not fully understood. In this case-cohort study, we examined 33 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)/insulin resistance (IR) traits and signaling pathways, using data from 704 postmenopausal women in Women's Health Initiative Observation ancillary studies. Stratifying by the lifestyle mo

Résumé :

The goal of ZOFF is formulated as a change of stagnation and increase in annual profit in term of 2 years, provided adequate low risk. The paper describes the outcomes and conclusions from a marketing research that highlights the key attributes of the company and its target audience. Way out of the situation lies in identifying the problem and its subsequent formulation. To achieve the objective are used various methods of creation and comparison of the criteria which define variants created. This process comprises a decision matrix for identification and comparison of risk scenarios. The outp

Résumé :

Introduction: In Africa, it is estimated that cardiovascular disease (CVD) will affect approximately 1.3 million people per annum over the following 20 years. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a predictor of CVD risk and certain CRP gene polymorphisms can result in altered CRP concentrations. The distribution of CRP gene polymorphisms is ethnic-specific and extrapolating information from other populations to the black South African population, reported to harbour considerable genetic variation, should be avoided. This highlights the fact that genetic research among black South Africans is necessary.
