Exploration of susceptible genes associated with Henoch–Schönlein purpura by whole exome sequencing

Abstract: Background. Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis caused by environmental and inherent factors. Although recent research has advanced our understanding of the role of genetic susceptibility in HSP, there are still significant gaps in our knowledge. Objectives. In this study, we aimed to explore some susceptibility genes likely associated with HSP. Material and methods. Three DNA samples from a family with HSP were used to perform whole exome sequencing with Illumina Hiseq 2500 hi… Show more

“…Micro-RNAs that impact upon antibody glycosylation and receptor expression influence the course of the disease [15 ▪ ,38,43]. In addition, genes associated with the regulation of the innate immune system like MGAT5 (a negative regulator of T-cell activation thresholds) or Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) seem to increase the susceptibility toward IgA vasculitis [44]. Differences in the occurrence of HLA polymorphisms associated with IgA vasculitis might explain ethnic differences in the incidence of the disease, which is highest in the Asian population [45].…”
