Autoimmunity and Environment: Am I at risk?
(2012)The complex interplay between environmental factors and genetic susceptibility plays an essential role in disease pathogenesis. This is especially true for autoimmunity, where clinical reports, genomic and epidemiological ... -
Clinical significance of the fluctuation of primary biliary cirrhosis-related autoantibodies during the course of the disease
(2013)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic disease characterized by the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA). PBC-specific antinuclear antibodies (ANA) have been characterized and associated with ... -
Familial primary biliary cirrhosis: Like mother, like daughter?
(2012)The reasons underlying why autoimmune diseases overwhelmingly affect women more than men are not clear. Nor are the reasons why autoimmune disease is more prevalent in families. This review uses primary biliary cirrhosis ... -
IgA anti-b2GPI antibodies in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2008)Introduction Recently, we reported a high prevalence of immunoglobulin G and/or immunoglobulin M anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) in patients with autoimmune liver diseases, namely, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary ... -
Potential Roles for Infectious Agents in the Pathophysiology of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: What's New?
(2013)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease serologically characterized by the presence of high-titer antimitochondrial antibodies and, histologically by chronic nonsuppurative cholangitis ... -
Prevalence of gastric parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2010)Background: We investigated the prevalence of antibodies against gastric parietal cells (GPA), intrinsic factor antibodies (IFA) and the presence of pernicious anemia in a large cohort of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) ... -
Primary biliary cirrhosis-specific autoantibodies in first degree relatives of Greek primary biliary cirrhosis patients
(2012)AIM: To determine the prevalence and significance of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-specific autoantibodies in first-degree relatives (FDRS) of Greek PBC patients. METHODS: The presence of antimitochondrial antibodies ... -
Urinary tract infection as a risk factor for autoimmune liver disease: From bench to bedside
(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. ...
