Does the HLA-DQ2 genotype select for early intestinal microbiota composition in infants at high risk of developing coeliac disease?
The genotype of infants at family risk of developing CD, carrying the HLA-DQ2 haplotypes, influences the early gut microbiota composition. This finding suggests that a specific disease-biased host genotype may also select for the first gut colonisers and could contribute to determining disease risk.
Upregulation of the neutrophil adhesion receptor CD11b and high circulating neutrophil numbers are associated with acute renal injury after CPB, suggesting a contribution by activated neutrophils to the pathophysiology of this complication.
