Recently, association of celiac disease with common single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants in an extensive linkage-disequilibrium block of 480 kb containing the KIAA1109, Tenr, IL2, and IL21 genes has been demonstrated in three independent populations (rs6822844P combined=1.3 x 10(-14)).
Five SNPs strongly associated with celiac disease within the KIAA1109/TENR/IL2/IL21 linkage disequilibrium block on chromosome 4q27 and one coding SNP within the IL21 gene were analyzed in a large German IBD cohort.
Here we aimed to: one, confirm at a genome-wide level of significance association of rs6822844 with RA and, two, evaluate whether or not there were effects independent of rs6822844 on RA at the KIAA1109-TENR-IL2-IL21 locus.
However, the most recent genome-wide asthma severity association study, conducted in more than 57 000 individuals, demonstrated significant associations for 25 loci, including three not previously associated with asthma: GATA3, MUC5AC, and KIAA1109.

Our results support the existence of the associations found in the KIAA1109/IL2/IL21 gene region with ADs, thus confirms that the 4q27 locus may contribute to the genetic susceptibility of ADs in the Tunisian population.
Four strongly UC-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the KIAA1109/TENR/IL2/IL21 linkage disequilibrium block were genotyped in 124 PBC and 41 PSC patients.
FRAXE fragile site associatedmental retardation remains unique among X-linked mental retardation phenotypes due to its very mild to borderline nature (50< IQ< 85).
However, the possibility exists that the common fragile site at Xq27 may be the substrate for unequal recombination events that produces the rare fragile site associated with Martin-Bell syndrome.
These observations and the well-established knowledge that the genes for Deutan and Protan colorblindness are closely linked to G6PD, but segregate independently of factor IX deficiency, suggest that the fragile site associated with this type of X-linked mental retardation occurs in a region prone to high frequency of meiotic recombination.
FRAXE fragile site associated mental retardation remains unique among X-linked mental retardation phenotypes due to its very mild to borderline nature (50< IQ< 85).
Moreover, gender susceptibility for uveitis might be involved in the KIAA1109 gene and the KIAA1109-rs4505848 polymorphism might be associated with the development of Behçet's disease.
Associations between FSA-NPS DI and breast cancer risk (555 incident breast cancers diagnosed between 2009 and 2015) were characterised by multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models.

Fourteen children (22 treated feet) formed the D-FSA group; all demonstrated fusion of the talocalcaneal joint; AOFAS-AH scores were median preoperative score of 61 (58-64) versus median postoperative score of 83 (75-92), with significant difference (P < .05).Only 1 foot had occasional pain.
