Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the genetic factors associated with immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in a Taiwanese Han population, revealing eight significant genomic variants linked to IgE synthesis and atopic diseases.
- Two novel SNPs were identified, with the CD28 SNP, rs1181388, and an intergenic SNP on chromosome 11 showing strong associations to IgE levels.
- The research emphasizes the potential of IgE polygenic risk scores (PRS) in predicting allergic reactions and their correlation with conditions like asthma and atopic dermatitis, enhancing our understanding of IgE regulation through genetic variants.
Objectives: The management of elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) is challenging due to progressive functional disability, increased comorbidities, and high drug-related risks. EORA is defined as disease onset after 60 years since 1985. We assessed whether this cut-off age was optimal in a progressively ageing society.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIron pyrite [cubic FeS (cFeS)] is considered as an earth-abundant and low-cost thin-film photovoltaic material. However, the conversion efficiency of cFeS-based solar cells remains below 3%. To elucidate this limitation, we evaluate the optical and electrical characteristics of cFeS single crystals that are grown using the flux method, thus providing us an understanding of the electron transport behavior of cFeS single crystals.
