This comprehensive review synthesizes literature on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), demonstrating its complex multifactorial etiology involving genetic factors (SNPs in GCKR, KCNQ1, MTNR1B, TCF7L2), epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation and microRNA expression), and alterations in microbial composition across multiple body sites. While certain SNP variants are associated with GDM phenotypes globally, genetic predisposition alone does not explain disease development; lifestyle factors can modify epigenetic signatures and microbiota composition to modulate risk. Evidence indicates genes, epigenetic alterations, and microbiota can transfer from mother to offspring with long-term health consequences.

A prospective cohort study of 166 children hospitalized for bronchiolitis at <6 months of age, followed to mean age 6.5 years. Non-RSV bronchiolitis (OR 3.74) and genetic variants in IL10 rs1800896, MBL2 (non-A/A genotype, OR 3.15), and TLR1 rs5743618 were associated with increased preschool asthma risk (12.7% prevalence). IL10 A/A genotype was protective (3.1% asthma).

This systematic literature review examines interleukin and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, diagnostics, and treatment. The paper summarizes polymorphisms in multiple IL genes (IL-1B rs16944, rs1143634; IL-6 rs1800795, rs1800796; IL-10 rs1800896; IL-23R rs11209026; IL-17A rs2275913 and others) across diverse populations, their associations with RA susceptibility and disease severity, and discusses current and future immunologic therapeutic targets including TNF inhibitors and IL-6 receptor antagonists.

This document is a comprehensive collection of ~1,200 cancer-related research abstracts and summaries published in various journals (2013), covering clinical trials, pharmacogenomic studies, and mutation analyses across multiple cancer types including colorectal, breast, lung, lymphoma, and other malignancies. The collection documents associations between genetic variants (SNPs and somatic mutations), gene expression patterns, and cancer treatment outcomes, including studies on KRAS, EGFR, TP53, BRAF, and pharmacogenomic variants like CYP3A4 and UGT1A1.

This is a comprehensive journal compilation containing multiple oncology and pharmacogenomics studies published in 2013 across various journals. The collection includes 60+ papers covering cancer treatment outcomes, genetic polymorphisms predicting chemotherapy response and survival, pharmacogenetic variants in drug metabolism and DNA repair genes, and prognostic biomarkers in various cancer types including breast, lung, colorectal, hematologic malignancies, and others. Key findings include associations of XRCC1 variants (rs915927, rs76507, rs2854501, rs2854509, rs3213255) with bladder cancer chemotherapy survival, ABCG2 rs2725264 with lung cancer overall survival (HR 3.22), SLCO1B1 rs4149056 with methotrexate pharmacokinetics, MTHFR rs1801131 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia outcome, and ABCC3/GSTM variants with acute myeloid leukemia survival.

This systematic literature review examines interleukin (IL) and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), covering studies from the past 10 years. The review discusses the pathogenesis of RA as a multifactorial autoimmune disease where genetic factors account for approximately 60% of disease risk. Multiple polymorphisms across IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, and IL-23R genes have been investigated in various populations, with inconsistent results across populations. The paper also reviews current and future therapeutic targets including anti-TNF, anti-IL-1, anti-IL-6, and anti-IL-17 treatments.
