Abstract

Despite recent progress, the pathogenic mechanisms governing PBC development, treatment response and outcome remain unknown. This deficiency is in large part due to the complex nature of PBC, wherein various environmental factors may be capable of prompting disease, but only in the context of underlying genetic susceptibility. Identification of genomic loci containing these heritable risk factors has been slowed by the rarity and late onset of PBC, which has made difficult the collection of sufficient numbers of patients and family members for meaningful genetic analyses. Advancements in our ability to catalog the genetic variation in large numbers of individuals at a genome-wide scale, coupled with unprecedented efforts to recruit PBC patients for genetic study, positions us to generate data that could fundamentally change our understanding of PBC and lead to clinical innovation. Indeed, the first genome-wide association study for PBC has been published, in which multiple genes involved with IL12 signaling, a pathway that is being targeted in treatment of other inflammatory conditions, were implicated in disease. However, this study was relatively small in the genome-wide milieu and a significantly expanded effort will be nece...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
