Study of the Genetic Causes of Polygenetically Determined Endocrinopathies – Patience Can Bring Success
Studium genetických příčin polygenně determinovaných endokrinopatií – aneb trpělivostí k úspěchu
Komplexní endokrinopatie, jako je diabetes mellitus, obezita, syndrom polycystických ovarií a osteoporóza, patří mezi nejrozšířenější onemocnění, jejich patogeneze však stále není zcela objasněna. Na jejich vzniku a rozvoji se uplatňují vedle vnějších faktorů značnou měrou i faktory genetické. Studium genetických příčin využívá různých strategií, nejčastěji metod vazebné analýzy a asociačních studií kandidátních genů. Zdá se, že běžné formy těchto endokrinopatií nejsou důsledkem poruchy jednoho nebo několika málo genů, ale že je nutné pátrat po složitých interakcích mezi řadou genetických variant a vnějších modulujících faktorů. Článek podává stručný přehled současných znalostí genetického pozadí zmíněných onemocnění spolu s našimi zkušenostmi na tomto poli výzkumu.

Overview
Complex endocrinopathies, such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome and osteoporosis belong to the most common diseases but their pathogenesis is still not fully explained. Environmental fadors along with genetic factors contribute to their occurrence and development. The study of genetic background is based on different strategies, mostly on linkage analysis and candidate gene approach. The common forms of these endocrinopathies do not seem to be the result of a defect of one or several major genes but the search for complex gene-gene, gene-environment interactions is needed. The article gives a short review of the recent knowledge together with our own experience in the field of study of the genetic background of polygenic diseases.
Key words:
genetics, diabetes mellitus type 2, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, osteoporosis, association study, candidate gene, linkage analysis.
