Immunogenomics Laboratory at Central University of Punjab identified novel HLA alleles associated with a rare form of vasculitis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis) using a novel approach of HLA sequencing.

HLA sequencing identifies novel associations and suggests clinical relevance of DPB1*04:01 in ANCA-associated Granulomatosis with polyangiitis Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease. Major contributions of HLA genes have been reported; however, HLA typing…

First total RNA expression study (Performed by our research group) in India identified several promising drug targets and putative biomarkers for celiac disease (gluten allergy/wheat allergy). Follow-up studies ongoing in the lab is expected to translate the knowledge generated.

Vitamin D influences critical biological processes that are necessary for overall wellness. Recent evidences on how it regulate immune functions and cardiovascular health have been reported here by us. click on the link below to know more.

Implications of vitamin D deficiency in systemic inflammation and cardiovascular health Clinical, epidemiological, and molecular studies have sufficiently highlighted the vitality of vitamin D [25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D] in human health and wellbeing. Globally, vitamin D deficiency (VDD)...

A recent article from our lab explain the translational potential of critical immune regulators implicated in vasculitis.

Translational implications of humoral and cellular immune dysfunction in granulomatosis with polyangiitis Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare systemic ANCA (Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) associated vasculitis (AAV). In the last coupl…

Our recent research work uncovered the genetic reason for which individuals with celiac disease often suffers with different neuropsychiatric conditions.

Celiac disease-associated loci show considerable genetic overlap with neuropsychiatric diseases but with limited transethnic applicability - Journal of Genetics Clinical and public health research has revealed the co-occurrence of several neuropsychiatric diseases among patients with celiac disease (CD). The significant presence of CD-specific autoantibodies in patients with neuropsychiatric diseases and vice versa are often reported. To explain the genetic...

Our program on World Heart Day 2022 got some media attention!
