Upon investigation of MICA and HLA-B allele linkage, multiple studies reported an association of a MICA deletion (MICAdel) with HLA-B*48. Interestingly, the patient and his mother both typed as HLA-B*48:02. Furthermore, the patient and his mother each typed as MICB*09:01N. Copy number analysis confirmed a single copy of MICA in both samples, thus providing supporting evidence of a MICAdel in both subjects, and consistent with previously published data on the association of a MICAdel with HLA-B*48. What initially appeared to be a maternal exclusion based on a MICA mismatch was instead attributable to a hemizygous loss of MICA.

These conditions affect millions worldwide and often result in long-term disability. The underlying reasons for increased vulnerability remain uncertain, particularly regarding the combined influence of genetic variations and lifestyle factors on disease risk. The purpose of this study is to identify key genetic variants associated with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes, and to investigate how these variants interact with environmental exposures to influence risk and age of onset. Publicly available genetic and molecular data were analyzed, including genome-wide association studies (NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog, ImmunoBase, and dbGaP), DNA sequencing datasets (1000 Genomes Project, Genomic Data Commons, and SRA), gene expression profiles (GEO and ArrayExpress), and epigenetic marks (ENCODE and RegulomeDB). This study identifies several significant genetic variants associated with autoimmune diseases, including <em>PTPN22, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQA1, IRF5, IL10</em>, and other immune-regulatory genes. Notably, the <em>PTPN22</em> rs2476601 variant increased the risk by approximately 1.8 times, while the <em>HLA-DRB1</em> rs3135388 variant increased the risk by around 2.1 times. Additional variants, such as <em>HLA-DQ</em>, IRF, and <em>IL10</em>, also play significant roles in immune dysregulation and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases, with specific allele associations yet to be fully explored. Pathway analysis revealed that these genes are primarily involved in antigen presentation, cytokine signaling, and T-cell activation—key processes underlying the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Smoking and vitamin D deficiency further elevated risk in genetically susceptible individuals and were linked with earlier disease onset. The findings highlight genetic markers such as <em>IL2RA</em> and <em>TIM-3</em> as potential tools for early screening and therapeutic targeting. Integrating genetic testing with lifestyle assessment can support personalized prevention, guide drug development, and improve clinical practice. Validation in diverse populations and long-term studies is recommended to confirm clinical usefulness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55047,"journal":{"name":"Human Immunology","volume":"86 6","pages":"Article 111614"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145519816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Histological, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescence techniques were used to evaluate tissue morphology and Cav-1/eNOS expression.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Control placentas exhibited intact villous structures, normal erythrocyte morphology, and strong Cav-1 and eNOS expression in endothelial cells. SARS-CoV-2-positive placentas showed villous damage, swollen erythrocytes, decreased collagen, and reduced endothelial expression of Cav-1 and eNOS. Cav-1 was absent in syncytiotrophoblasts in all samples.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Reduced expression of Cav-1 and eNOS in endothelial cells, combined with the absence of Cav-1 in syncytiotrophoblasts, may contribute to the placental resistance against SARS-CoV-2. These findings support the hypothesis that molecular features of the placenta, particularly involving Cav-1/eNOS pathways, play a protective role in preventing vertical transmission.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55047,"journal":{"name":"Human Immunology","volume":"86 6","pages":"Article 111615"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145519812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
