Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition triggered by dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals and the treatment is a strict gluten-free diet. The major predisposing genes are HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1, but these are not sufficient for disease development. One of the candidate genes worth studying is interleukin (IL)-15 gene, together with its specific receptor, IL-15Rα, as they participate...
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) modulate natural killer (NK) and T-cell function by human leukocyte antigen class I interaction and have been implicated in celiac disease (CD). Qualitative expression of 16 KIR genes was determined in biopsies from 22 CD patients at diagnosis and after >2 years on a gluten-free diet (GFD). Quantitative expression analysis of KIR2DL4, KIR3DL1, KIR3DL3,...
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disorder of the gut in which innate and adaptive responses are involved. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 participate in host defense through antigen recognition, and show altered expression in CD gut mucosa. β-defensins are inducible antimicrobial peptides, and DEFB gene copy number polymorphisms have been associated with autoimmune and inflammatory disorders...
