(A) MAP-RELATED GRANULOMATOUS DISEASES | ||
Disease | Shared genetic susceptibility | Reference |
Crohn’s | CARD15, SLC11A1 | (8, 51, 52, 57, 59, 62, 64) |
Sarcoidosis | SLC11A1 | (54, 69) |
Blau syndrome | CARD15 | (52–56, 60) |
These granulomatous diseases are ones where evidence of MAP can be found in the granuloma. CARD15, caspase recruitment domain gene 15; SLC11a1, solute carrier 11a1 gene. | ||
(B) MAP-ASSOCIATED AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES | ||
Disease | Mimicking elements | Reference |
Autoimmune diabetes | HSP65/GAD | (31, 86–88, 90–94) |
MAP3865c/ZnT8 – pancreatic | ||
Autoimmune thyroiditis | MAP3865c/ZnT8 – thyroid | (35, 36) |
Multiple sclerosis | HSP70, MAP_2694, MAP4027, MAP_2619c 352-61, MAP_0106c protein 121–132 | (37–49) |
These autoimmune diseases have autoantibodies. There are share molecular elements between MAP proteins and host organs. HSP65, heat shock protein 65; GAD, glutamic acid decarboxylase; MAP3865c, M. paratuberculosis protein 3865c; ZnT8, zinc transporter 8; HSP70, heat shock protein 70; MAP-0106c, M. paratuberculosis 0106c protein (aa. 121–132); MBP85-98, myelin basic protein (aa. 85–98).
