From Genes to Autoimmune Diseases: Understanding HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8

By Victor Wickström

From Genes to Autoimmune Diseases: Understanding HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 is a comprehensive guide to the genetics and pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases associated with HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. These two major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are strongly associated with a number of autoimmune diseases, including celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.

This book provides a deep dive into the structure and function of HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, their genetic variants, and the role of haplotype diversity in the development and progression of autoimmune diseases. It also explores the diagnostic approaches and treatment options for HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 associated diseases, as well as the challenges and opportunities for future research in this area.
