  coeliac disease; celiac sprue; gluten-sensitive enteropathy
  Definition: Celiac disease is a common autoimmune condition triggered by ingesting one of several related proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye: the gliadins, hordeins, and secalins.
  In susceptible persons, ingestion of these proteins leads to infiltration of the intestinal mucosa by both intraepithelial CD8+ lymphocytes and CD4+ lamina propria lymphocytes and, ultimately, to crypt hyperplasia and villous atrophy.

• AL amyloidosis
  5 February 2008

  In AL amyloidosis, a plasma-cell dyscrasia related to multiple myeloma, clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow produce immunoglobulins that are amyloidogenic.
  In affected patients, 5 to 10 percent of bone marrow plasma cells (normal,

• arterial hypertension
  16 January 2006

  Hypertension is a common health problem with some-times devastating consequences, and often remains asymptomatic until late in its course. Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for both coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular accidents; hypertension can lead to cardiac hypertrophy and, potentially, heart failure, aortic dissection, and renal failure.
  It is widely acknowledged that hypertension is a complex, multifactorial disease that has both genetic and environmental (...)

  6 September 2005

  Pycnodysostosis is a rare skeletal dysplasia with bone abnormalities such as short stature, acroosteolysis of distal phalanges, and skull deformities.
  Etiology
  mutations in the cathepsin K gene disrupting wild type cathepsin K activity have been described in patients with pycnodysostosis.
  deficiency of the cysteine protease cathepsin K, responsible for degradation of collagen type I and other bone proteins.
  Osteoclasts, bone cells of hematopoietic origin responsible for bone (...)
