Similar pathophysiological mechanisms within autoimmune diseases have stimulated searches for common genetic roots. Polyautoimmunity is defined as the presence of more than one disease in a single patient. When three or coexist, this condition called multiple syndrome (MAS). We analyzed polyautoimmunity 1,083 patients belonging to four cohorts. was observed 373 (34.4%). Autoimmune thyroid (AITD) and Sjögren's (SS) were most frequent encountered. Factors significantly associated with female...
We recently identified a novel non-synonymous variant, rs1143679, at exon 3 of the ITGAM gene associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility in European-Americans (EAs) and African-Americans. Using genome-wide association approach, three other studies also independently reported an between SLE or ITGAM-ITGAX region. The primary objectives this study are to assess whether single multiple causal variants from same any nearby gene(s) involved confirm robust across nine...
Three related lines of evidence sustain the common origin for autoimmune diseases (ADs). First, clinical corresponding to kaleidoscope autoimmunity, which is co-occurrence various ADs within an individual or members a nuclear family. Second, physiopathologic indicating that pathologic mechanisms might be similar among ADs. Last, genetic phenotypes could represent pleiotropic outcomes nonspecific disease genes. The two conditions better illustrate autoimmunity are multiple syndromes and...
Objective . To determine the prevalence and impact of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Eight-hundred were included. The association between AITD RA was analyzed by bivariate multivariate analysis. In addition, a literature review done focusing on geographical variations. Results our cohort 9.8% while presence antibodies 37.8% for antithyroperoxidase enzyme (TPOAb) 20.8% antithyroglobulin protein (TgAb). type 2 diabetes, thrombosis,...
Purpose: To determine the value of lung ultrasound (LUS) compared to high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in early diagnosis interstitial disease (ILD) patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients and Methods: An observational prospective study was performed. Were included respiratory symptoms or/and, crackles auscultation during medical consultation. All underwent chest X-rays, LUS, HRCT,and function tests. Results: A total 192 RA were included. Mean duration 16.8 ± 11.1 years....
