our results indicated that the BLK rs13277113 polymorphism was involved in the genetic background of RA in Chinese population and the association of BANK1 rs3733197 polymorphism with RA was dependent on the genotype of BLK rs13277113 polymorphism, highlighting B-cell response implicated in the pathogenesis of RA.
-
present study suggests a novel association between specific TNFSF4 and BLK gene polymorphisms and allergic rhinitis risk.
-
This meta-analysis confirms that polymorphisms in the BLK alleles rs13277113 A/G, rs2736340 T/C, and rs2248932 T/C are associated with susceptibility to SLE in Caucasian and Asian populations.
-
Confirm the association of rs548234/ATG5, rs2736340/BLK and rs10516487/BANK1 with systemic lupus erythematosus in Chinese Han and reinforced our hypothesis of their epistasis effect in regulating B-cell signaling in SLE.
-
ur study provides evidence that human BLK is a true proto-oncogene capable of inducing tumors, and we demonstrate a novel BLK activity-dependent tumor model suitable for studies of BLK-driven lymphomagenesis and screening of novel BLK inhibitors in vivo.
-
rs13277113 GA genotype of BLK is more frequent in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus patients and may have a role in low gene expression and increased flares
-
current meta-analysis suggested that FAM167A-BLK rs2736340 polymorphism is associated with several autoimmune diseases
-
the SNPs in TNFSF4 and FAM167A-BLK may be involved in asthma and allergic rhinitis gene risk in the Han Chinese cohort.
-
The systemic lupus erythematosus variant Ala71Thr of BLK severely decreases protein abundance and binding to BANK1 through impairment of the SH3 domain function.
-
Report a novel BLK gene variant in common variable immunodeficiency-patients that causes suppressed B-cell proliferation and reduced ability of B-cells to elicit antigen-specific CD4(+) T-cell responses.
-
A major mechanism underlying the BLK association with autoimmune disease involves lowered thresholds for basal B cell receptor signaling, enhanced B cell-T cell interactions, and altered patterns of isotype switching.
-
our study reveals a previously unappreciated role of reduced BLK expression on extraperitoneal accumulation of B1a cells in mice, as well as the presence of IgG autoantibodies and B1-like cells in humans.
-
Results support previous findings that vaiants in the RHOB and FAM167A-BLK genes may be associated with susceptibility to systemic sclerosis.
-
These results place Blk upstream of the p190RhoGAP-RhoA pathway in Galpha13-activated cells, overall representing an opposing signaling module during CXCL12-triggered invasion.
-
Report role of BLK genetic variants in confering risk of systemic lupus erythematosus in Chinese population.
-
The observations suggested that C8orf13-BLK, in combination with STAT4, plays a pivotal role in creating genetic susceptibility to polymyositis/dermatomyositis in Japanese individuals.
-
B-lymphoid tyrosine kinase (Blk) is an oncogene and a potential target for therapy with dasatinib in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
-
results demonstrated that both lupus-associated functional variants contribute to the autoimmune disease association by modulating transcription of BLK in B cells and thus potentially altering immune responses
-
Our study confirms evidence for epistasis between BLK and BANK1 in systemic lupus erythematosis from a Chinese population for the first time.
-
The BLK region was significantly associated with Kawasaki disease susceptibility in populations of Korean and European descent.
