The rat genome sequencing and mapping consortium found evidence for an association between the catenin-δ2 gene (CTNND2) and anxious behaviour. We replicated these results in humans by carrying out a genetic association test in patients with panic disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder and/or agoraphobia (N = 1714) and controls (N = 4125). We further explored the association...<br/><br/>M G Nivard, H Mbarek, J J Hottenga, J H Smit, R Jansen, B W Penninx, C M Middeldorp, D I Boomsma (2013) <i>Genes, brain, and behavior</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

Over the past 25 years, the Adult Netherlands Twin Register (ANTR) has collected a wealth of information on physical and mental health, lifestyle, and personality in adolescents and adults. This article provides an overview of the sources of information available, the main research findings, and an outlook for the future. Between 1991 and 2012, longitudinal surveys were completed by twins, their p...<br/><br/>Gonneke Willemsen, Jacqueline M Vink, Abdel Abdellaoui, Anouk den Braber, Jenny H D A van Beek, Harmen H M Draisma, Jenny van Dongen, Dennis van 't Ent, Lot M Geels, Rene van Lien, Lannie Ligthart, Mathijs Kattenberg, Hamdi Mbarek, Marleen H M de Moor, Melanie Neijts, Rene Pool, Natascha Stroo, Cornelis Kluft, H Eka D Suchiman, P Eline Slagboom, Eco J C de Geus, Dorret I Boomsma (2013) <i>Twin Res Hum Genet</i> <i></i> <i></i> 16: 1 271-281<br/>

A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) using chronic HBV (hepatitis B virus) carriers with and without hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in five independent Chinese populations found that one SNP (rs17401966) in KIF1B was associated with susceptibility to HCC. In the present study, a total of 580 HBV-derived HCC cases and 1351 individuals with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) or asymptomatic carrier ...<br/><br/>Hiromi Sawai, Nao Nishida, Hamdi Mbarek, Koichi Matsuda, Yoriko Mawatari, Megumi Yamaoka, Shuhei Hige, Jong-Hon Kang, Koichi Abe, Satoshi Mochida, Masaaki Watanabe, Masayuki Kurosaki, Yasuhiro Asahina, Namiki Izumi, Masao Honda, Shuichi Kaneko, Eiji Tanaka, Kentaro Matsuura, Yoshito Itoh, Eiji Mita, Masaaki Korenaga, Keisuke Hino, Yoshikazu Murawaki, Yoichi Hiasa, Tatsuya Ide, Kiyoaki Ito, Masaya Sugiyama, Sang Hoon Ahn, Kwang-Hyub Han, Jun Yong Park, Man-Fung Yuen, Yusuke Nakamura, Yasuhito Tanaka, Masashi Mizokami, Katsushi Tokunaga (2012) <i>BMC Med Genet</i> <i></i> <i></i> 13: 1 <br/>

MHC class I polypeptide-related chain A (MICA) molecule is induced in response to viral infection and various types of stress. We recently reported that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2596542 located in the MICA promoter region was significantly associated with the risk for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and also with serum levels of soluble MICA (sMICA). ...<br/><br/>Vinod Kumar, Paulisally Hau Yi Lo, Hiromi Sawai, Naoya Kato, Atsushi Takahashi, Zhenzhong Deng, Yuji Urabe, Hamdi Mbarek, Katsushi Tokunaga, Yasuhito Tanaka, Masaya Sugiyama, Masashi Mizokami, Ryosuke Muroyama, Ryosuke Tateishi, Masao Omata, Kazuhiko Koike, Chizu Tanikawa, Naoyuki Kamatani, Michiaki Kubo, Yusuke Nakamura, Koichi Matsuda (2012) <i>PLoS One</i> <i></i> <i></i> 7: 9 <br/>

The signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) gene localised on chromosome 2q32.2-q32.3 is known to be essential for mediating responses to interleukin 12 in lymphocytes and regulating the differentiation of T helper cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the STAT4 gene in susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) in T...<br/><br/>Mariem Ben Hamad, Francois Cornelis, Hamdi Mbarek, Ghazi Chabchoub, Sameh Marzouk, Zouhir Bahloul, Ahmed Rebai, Faiza Fakhfakh, Hammadi Ayadi, Elisabeth Petit-Teixeira, Abdellatif Maalej (2011) <i>Clin Exp Rheumatol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 29: 2 269-274<br/>

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major health issue worldwide which may lead to hepatic dysfunction, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. To identify host genetic factors that are associated with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) susceptibility, we previously conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) and identified the association of HLA-DP variants with CHB in Asians; howe...<br/><br/>Hamdi Mbarek, Hidenori Ochi, Yuji Urabe, Vinod Kumar, Michiaki Kubo, Naoya Hosono, Atsushi Takahashi, Yoichiro Kamatani, Daiki Miki, Hiromi Abe, Tatsuhiko Tsunoda, Naoyuki Kamatani, Kazuaki Chayama, Yusuke Nakamura, Koichi Matsuda (2011) <i>Hum Mol Genet</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

BACKGROUND: /st> Genetic factors have a substantial role in determining development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and are likely to account for 50-60% of disease susceptibility. Genome-wide association studies have identified non-human leucocyte antigen RA susceptibility loci which associate with RA with low-to-moderate risk. OBJECTIVES: /st> To investigate recently identified RA susceptibility ma...<br/><br/>Darren Plant, Edward Flynn, Hamdi Mbarek, Philippe Dieudé, François Cornelis, Lisbeth Arlestig, Solbritt Rantapää Dahlqvist, George Goulielmos, Dimitrios T Boumpas, Prodromos Sidiropoulos, Julia S Johansen, Lykke M Ornbjerg, Merete Lund Hetland, Lars Klareskog, Andrew Filer, Christopher D Buckley, Karim Raza, Torsten Witte, Reinhold E Schmidt, Jane Worthington (2010) <i>Ann Rheum Dis</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

The heat shock 60-kDa protein 1 (HSP60) is involved in immune and inflammatory reactions, which are hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). HSP60 is encoded by the HSPD1 gene located on 2q33, one of the suggested RA susceptibility loci in the French Caucasian population. Our aim was to test whether HSPD1 is a major susceptibility gene by studing families from the French Caucasian population.

The integrin alpha(v)beta3, whose alpha(v) subunit is encoded by the ITGAV gene, plays a key role in angiogenesis. Hyperangiogenesis is involved in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the ITGAV gene is located in 2q31, one of the suggested RA susceptibility loci. Our aim was to test the ITGAV gene for association and linkage to RA in a family-based study from the European Caucasian population.
