    New Data Links RGS1 and IL12A Polymorphisms with Celiac Disease Risk

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 04/28/2016 - The development of celiac disease has been tied to polymorphisms in the regulator of G-protein signaling 1 (RGS1) and interleukin-12 A (IL12A) genes, but existing data are unclear and contradictory.

    Image: CC--Mehmet PinarciA research team recently set out to examine the associations of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2816316 in RGS1 and rs17810546 in IL12A) with celiac disease risk using meta-analysis.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The research team included Cong-Cong Guo, Man Wang, Feng-Di Cao, Wei-Huang Huang, Di Xiao, Xing-Guang Ye, Mei-Ling Ou, Na Zhang, Bao-Huan Zhang, Yang Liu, Guang Yang, and Chun-Xia Jing.

    They are variously affiliate with the Department of Epidemiology, School of Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, the Department of Stomatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, Guangzhou, the Department of Parasitology, School of Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, and the Key Laboratory of Environmental Exposure and Health in Guangzhou, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.

    The team began by searching PubMed and Web of Science for RGS1 rs2816316 and IL12A rs17810546 with celiac disease risk. They then estimated the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of each SNP. They retrieved a total of seven studies, and used Stata 12.0 to perform statistical analyses.

    The available data indicated the minor allele C of rs2816316 was negatively associated with celiac disease (C vs. A: OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.74–0.80), while they did find a positive association for the minor allele G of rs17810546 (G vs. A: OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.31–1.43).

    They found that the co-dominant model of genotype effect confirmed the significant associations between RGS1 rs2816316/IL12A rs17810546 and celiac disease. They found no evidence of any publication bias.

    The team's meta-analysis indicates a connection between RGS1 and IL12A and celiac disease, and provides a strong support for deeper study into the roles of RGS1 and IL12A in the development of celiac disease.

    Celiac.com 02/18/2015 - It's well documented that HLA-DQ molecules play a role in the pathogenesis of celiac disease through the presentation of gluten peptides to CD4(+) T cells. The α- or β-chain sharing HLA molecules DQ2.5, DQ2.2, and DQ7.5 display different risks for the disease.
    Researchers have recently showed that T cells of DQ2.5 and DQ2.2 patients recognize distinct sets of gluten epitopes, which indicates that these two DQ2 variants select different peptides for display.
    To figure out if this is the case, the research team performed a comprehensive comparison of the endogenous self-peptides bound to HLA-DQ molecules of B-lymphoblastoid cell lines. The research team included E. Bergseng, S. Dørum, M. Arntzen, M. Nielsen, S. Nygård, S. Buus, G.A. de Souza, and L.M. Sollid. Th...

    Celiac.com 06/03/2015 - Although dietary gluten is the trigger for celiac disease, risk is strongly influenced by genetic variation in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region.
    A team of researchers recently set out to fine map the MHC association signal to identify additional celiac disease risk factors independent of the HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles. The researchers included J. Gutierrez-Achury, A. Zhernakova, S.L. Pulit, G. Trynka, K.A. Hunt, J. Romanos, S. Raychaudhuri, D.A. van Heel, C. Wijmenga, and P.I. de Bakker.
    Their team fine mapped the MHC association signal looking for risk factors other than the HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles, and the found five new associations that account for 18% of the genetic risk.
    Taking these new loci together with the 57 known non...

    Celiac.com 09/16/2015 - Autoimmune disease, such as type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, affect about 7 to 10 percent of the population in the Western Hemisphere.
    Using genome-wide association studies (GWASs), researchers have identified hundreds of susceptibility genes, including shared associations across clinically distinct autoimmune diseases.
    A team of researchers recently conducted an inverse χ2 meta-analysis across ten pediatric-age-of-onset autoimmune diseases (pAIDs) in a case-control study including more than 6,035 cases and 10,718 shared population-based controls.
    The research team included Yun R Li, Jin Li, Sihai D Zhao, Jonathan P Bradfield, Frank D Mentch, S Melkorka Maggadottir, Cuiping Hou, Debra J Abrams, Diana Chang, Feng Gao,...

    Does a Long Noncoding RNA Influence Susceptibility to Celiac Disease?
    Celiac.com 04/11/2016 - Growing evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in gene expression, especially that which influences inflammation. For example, researchers recently found that one lncRNA, lnc13, suppresses inflammatory gene expression in macrophages by interacting with proteins that regulate chromatin accessibility.
    Reduced levels of lnc13 in intestinal tissue from individuals with celiac disease suggests that lnc13 might also play a role in the development of immune-mediated diseases. In a recent issue of Science, a research team reports on the identification and characterization of a lncRNA, lnc13, that harbors a celiac disease–associated haplotype block and represses expression of certain inflammatory genes under homeostatic conditions.<...>

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      Feeling ill

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...
