Journal ArticleDOI
IL-12 and IL-10 polymorphisms and their effects on cytokine production.
TL;DR: The association of proximal promoter -1082 SNP with IL-10 production is confirmed, and IL10 proximal and distal promoter SNP distribution with estimated haplotype variations has implicated considerable similarities with the Caucasian populations in Turkey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical comparison of anti-MuSK-vs anti-AChR-positive and seronegative myasthenia gravis
Feza Deymeer,Ozlem Gungor-Tuncer,Vuslat Yilmaz,Yesim Parman,Piraye Serdaroglu,Coşkun Özdemir,Angela Vincent,Güher Saruhan-Direskeneli +7 more
TL;DR: The seronegative group was in between the anti-MuSK positive and theAnti-AChR positive groups, being closer to the latter, with regard to the severity of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of multiple independent susceptibility loci in the HLA region in Behçet's disease
Travis K. Hughes,Patrick Coit,Adam Adler,Vuslat Yilmaz,Kenan Aksu,Nurşen Düzgün,Gökhan Keser,Ayse Cefle,Ayten Yazici,Andac Ergen,Erkan Alpsoy,Carlo Salvarani,Bruno Casali,Ina Kötter,Javier Gutierrez-Achury,Cisca Wijmenga,Haner Direskeneli,Güher Saruhan-Direskeneli,Amr H. Sawalha +18 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the robust HLA-B*51 association in Behçet's disease is explained by a variant located between the Hla-B and MICA genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Takayasu's arteritis is associated with HLA-B*52, but not with HLA-B*51, in Turkey

Aytül Uyar,Haner Direskeneli,Güher Saruhan-Direskeneli +28 more
TL;DR: In this study, the previously reported association of TAK with HLA-B*52 in other populations was confirmed in patients from Turkey, and the functional relevance of Hla-B-52 in TAK pathogenesis needs to be explored further.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin (IL)–12, IL-2, and IL-6 Gene Polymorphisms in Takayasu’s Arteritis from Turkey
Güher Saruhan-Direskeneli,M. Bicakcigil,Vuslat Yilmaz,Sevil Kamali,Kenan Aksu,Izzet Fresko,Nurullah Akkoc,Sedat Kiraz,Huseyin T. E. Ozer,Ercan Tunc,Eftal Yucel,Karaarslan Y,F.A. Uyar,E Doganavsargil,Murat Inanc,Haner Direskeneli +15 more
TL;DR: The polymorphism of IL-12 as well as IL-6 and IL-2 genes may contribute to susceptibility and pathogenesis of TA by altering cytokine production and inducing inflammation.
