Journal ArticleDOI

Presence of the IL-1RA allele 2 (IL1RN*2) is associated with enhanced IL-1beta production in vitro.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the known allelisms in the IL‐1β gene are not major regulators of the in vitro IL‐ 1β production, but theIL‐1RA allele 2 (or an unknown allele strongly associated with it) has a decisive role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-10 generation in atopic children following oral Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG.

TL;DR: Oral Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG ingestion for 5’days to 4’weeks has been shown to alleviate clinical symptoms of gastrointestinal inflammation and atopic dermatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) plasma levels are co-ordinately regulated by both IL-1Ra and IL-1beta genes.

TL;DR: The results indicate that theIL‐1β gene participates in the regulation of IL‐1Ra production in vivo and that the alleles of IL-1β and IL‐ 1Ra which demonstrate this cooperative effect are often associated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms associated with longevity in a Finnish population.

TL;DR: The data appear to favour the presence of advantageous polymorphisms and support a role for mitochondria and mtDNA in the degenerative processes involved in ageing and suggest an association between certain mtDNA haplogroups or haplogroup clusters and longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies multiple longevity genes

Joris Deelen, +96 more
TL;DR: A case–control design based on phenotype definitions of individuals surviving at or beyond the age corresponding to the 90th and 99th survival percentile, and two additional loci located in the APOE locus and near GPR78 are reported, revealing a role for tissue-specific expression of multiple genes in longevity.
