Defect gen veroorzaakt reumatoïde artritis

16.08.2011

Onderzoekers verbonden aan VIB en UGent hebben aangetoond dat een defect gen kan bijdragen tot het ontstaan van reumatoïde artritis.

In een studie in het vakblad Nature Genetics beschrijven de onderzoekers nu dat een fout in de expressie van de A20-gen (TNFAIP3) kan bijdragen tot het ontstaan van reumatoïde artritis bij muizen. De wetenschappers nemen aan dat A20 een belangrijk doelwit is voor de ontwikkeling van nieuwe geneesmiddelen. read more
