The autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is presented with many clinical symptoms. The transcription factor fork head box protein 3 (Foxp3) is expressed on regulatory T (T-reg) cells and essential for its development and function. Functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Foxp3-3279 (rs3761548 C/A) gene influence SLE pathogenesis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system, characterized by progressive demyelination and inflammation. MS is characterized by immune system attacks on the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. Genome-wide association studies revealed a polymorphism in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) gene that increases risk for MS.

Targeting optimal glycemic control based on hemoglobin A1c (A1c) values reduces but does not abolish the onset of diabetic kidney disease and its progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). This suggests that factors other than the average glucose contribute to the residual risk. Vitamin D deficiency and frequent episodes of acute hyperglycemia (AH) are associated with the onset of albuminuria and CKD progression in diabetes.

The dysfunction of the endothelial lining in lesion-prone areas of the arterial vasculature significantly contributes to the pathobiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Recent studies suggested that UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2) plays a role in cell proliferation and survival. This study investigates the anti-apoptotic and anti-atherogenic effects of UGP2 both in vitro and in vivo.
