TL;DR: The known association of Behçet's disease with HLA-B*51 was confirmed and a second, independent association within the MHC Class I region was identified and the disease-associated IL10 variant was associated with diminished mRNA expression and low protein production.

TL;DR: FMF-related MEFV variations are associated with AS, and these variations may contribute to the pathogenesis of AS, especially in populations in which the prevalence of FMF is high.

TL;DR: The present results confirm earlier findings of lower H3K9me3 levels in CRC and show LINE elements to be the most frequent and best discriminative markers on modified histones.

TL;DR: Curcumin reduced tissue injury, trypsin activation and inhibited NF-κB and AP-1, however TNF-α, IL-6 and iNOS and NO were not inhibited at all time points, and therefore no direct correlation was detected in the subgroups between tissue Injury, proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative enzymes.

TL;DR: In this article, the 3'-UTR regions of the MEFV gene were investigated in a group of FMF patients with no coding region mutations, to identify variations with a possible role in the regulation of expression.
