    • Tracing environmental markers of autoimmunity: introducing the infectome 

      Bogdanos, D. P.; Smyk, D. S.; Invernizzi, P.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Blank, M.; Sakkas, L.; Pouria, S.; Shoenfeld, Y. (2013)
      We recently introduced the concept of the infectome as a means of studying all infectious factors which contribute to the development of autoimmune disease. It forms the infectious part of the exposome, which collates all ...
    • Twin studies in autoimmune disease: Genetics, gender and environment 

      Bogdanos, D. P.; Smyk, D. S.; Rigopoulou, E. I.; Mytilinaiou, M. G.; Heneghan, M. A.; Selmi, C.; Gershwin, M. E. (2012)
      Twin studies are powerful tools to discriminate whether a complex disease is due to genetic or environmental factors. High concordance rates among monozygotic (MZ) twins support genetic factors being predominantly involved, ...
    • Urinary tract infection as a risk factor for autoimmune liver disease: From bench to bedside 

      Smyk, D. S.; Bogdanos, D. P.; Kriese, S.; Billinis, C.; Burroughs, A. K.; Rigopoulou, E. I. (2012)
      Autoimmune liver diseases include autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis. A variety of environmental and genetic risk factors have been associated with these conditions. ...
    • Vitamin D in autoimmune liver disease 

      Smyk, D. S.; Orfanidou, T.; Invernizzi, P.; Bogdanos, D. P.; Lenzi, M. (2013)
      The development of autoimmune disease is based on the interaction of genetic susceptibility and environmental causes. Environmental factors include infectious and noninfectious agents, with some of these factors being ...
