			It has been found that vulnerability to Pneumonia and its severity may be linked to underlying genetic mechanisms. These mechanisms, such as the ] (CYP1A1) regulating ] and ], <ref>Guin, Debleena, et al. “Human Genetic Factors Associated with Pneumonia Susceptibility, a Cue for Covid-19 Mortality.” MedRxiv, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1 Jan. 2021, https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.06.03.21258106v1.full. </ref> can influence the efficacy of the immune system which can either be detrimental or beneficial in combating Pneumonia.
	Hello fellow Wikipedians,

			Individuals with certain genetic variants can be at risk for a higher susceptibility to Pneumonia. For example, individuals with mutations in ] (BTK).<ref>Genetics in community-acquired Pneumonia : Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine. (2019). LWW. https://journals.lww.com/co-pulmonarymedicine/Abstract/2019/05000/Genetics_in_community_acquired_Pneumonia.17.aspx</ref> These mutations lead to the development of a disease called ] which inhibits the formation of white blood cells and mature ]. Without functional BTK, the development cycle of B lymphocytes is stopped at the pre-B cell stage which results in the loss of mature lymphocytes in the bone marrow and ]. In BTK, the mutation of arg525 to gln was particularly responsible for the lowered functionality of BTK.<ref>Chen, Shaw, Petty, North. (2020, December 11). Host genetic effects in Pneumonia. Cell. https://www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/S0002-9297(20)30446-8</ref> Due to decreased white blood cell count, this immune deficiency increases one’s susceptibility to Pneumonia greatly.
	I have just modified one external link on ]. Please take a moment to review . If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit ] for additional information. I made the following changes:

			A broad ] study aimed at identifying ] associated with pulmonary function and Pneumonia in humans mapped 137 loci of interest. 116 of the 137 loci were found to be responsible for both pulmonary function and susceptibility to Pneumonia. <ref>Khadzhieva, Kuzovlev, Salnikova. (2019, December). Pneumonia: host susceptibility and shared genetics with pulmonary function and other traits. PubMed. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31487037/</ref> Furthermore, 336/340 ] were shared between Pneumonia and pulmonary function <ref>Khadzhieva, Kuzovlev, Salnikova. (2019, December). Pneumonia: host susceptibility and shared genetics with pulmonary function and other traits. PubMed. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31487037/</ref>. Genes that are responsible for pulmonary function play an integral role in overall lung development and inflammation pathways that are key to an immune response. Individuals with an impaired pulmonary function due to certain predisposed developmental, inflammatory, or cardiovascular traits were found to be at a higher risk for Pneumonia. This high degree of overlap of genes and the correlation between pulmonary function traits and susceptibility to Pneumonia could mean that there is a major genetic factor.

			There are nine disease genes currently known to increase susceptibility to ]. Three of the disease genes are responsible for the production of ] by alveoli in the lungs: Surfactant protein C (SFTPC), Surfactant protein A2 (SFTPA2), and Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3).<ref>ILD Colaborative. (2020). Genetics of Familial Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia. https://www.ildcollaborative.org/resources/genetics-of-familial-idiopathic-interstitial-Pneumonia</ref> Surfactant is a mixture of proteins and fats that helps keep the ] from collapsing when a person exhales and also protects lung cells from infection. Mutations at these loci have age-dependent effects, however, it is not yet possible to predict which family members will develop Pneumonia at what age. The other six disease genes are associated with ]: Telomerase reverse transcriptase , Telomerase RNA component , Dyskerin , Telomere repeat binding factor 1-interacting nuclear factor 2 , Regulator of telomere elongation helicase , Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease . Mutations in these genes impede the ability of the body to repair damage in the telomeres of ] and thus they become shorter, which can also increase the risk of developing Pneumonia, amongst many other diseases.<ref>ILD Colaborative. (2020). Genetics of Familial Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia. https://www.ildcollaborative.org/resources/genetics-of-familial-idiopathic-interstitial-Pneumonia</ref>
	{{sourcecheck\|checked=false\|needhelp=}}
			Currently, doctors do offer genetic testing for these 9 disease genes in cases where two or more individuals in the same family have Pneumonia.<ref>Kropski, YOung, Cogan, Mitchell, Lancaster, Worrell, Markin, Liu. (2017, June 1). Genetic Evaluation and Testing of Patients and Families with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. National Library of Medicine. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5470751/</ref>

			During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients infected with COVID-19 were found to have twice the risk of developing pneumonia.<ref>“DNA Test Can Quickly Identify Pneumonia in Patients with Severe COVID-19, Aiding Faster Treatment.” ScienceDaily, ScienceDaily, 15 Jan. 2021, https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/01/210115091340.htm.</ref> Doctors have developed a DNA test that uses multiple polymerase chain reactions to detect DNA and antibiotic resistance of in a patient’s blood sample.

Semi-protected edit request on 10 May 2022 - Genetics of Pneumonia

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

It has been found that vulnerability to Pneumonia and its severity may be linked to underlying genetic mechanisms. These mechanisms, such as the CYP1A1 gene (CYP1A1) regulating inflammatory responses and sepsis, can influence the efficacy of the immune system which can either be detrimental or beneficial in combating Pneumonia.

Individuals with certain genetic variants can be at risk for a higher susceptibility to Pneumonia. For example, individuals with mutations in Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK). These mutations lead to the development of a disease called X-linked agammaglobulinemia which inhibits the formation of white blood cells and mature B cells. Without functional BTK, the development cycle of B lymphocytes is stopped at the pre-B cell stage which results in the loss of mature lymphocytes in the bone marrow and lymphatic system. In BTK, the mutation of arg525 to gln was particularly responsible for the lowered functionality of BTK. Due to decreased white blood cell count, this immune deficiency increases one’s susceptibility to Pneumonia greatly.

A broad mapping study aimed at identifying loci associated with pulmonary function and Pneumonia in humans mapped 137 loci of interest. 116 of the 137 loci were found to be responsible for both pulmonary function and susceptibility to Pneumonia. Furthermore, 336/340 SNPs were shared between Pneumonia and pulmonary function . Genes that are responsible for pulmonary function play an integral role in overall lung development and inflammation pathways that are key to an immune response. Individuals with an impaired pulmonary function due to certain predisposed developmental, inflammatory, or cardiovascular traits were found to be at a higher risk for Pneumonia. This high degree of overlap of genes and the correlation between pulmonary function traits and susceptibility to Pneumonia could mean that there is a major genetic factor.

There are nine disease genes currently known to increase susceptibility to idiopathic interstitial Pneumonia. Three of the disease genes are responsible for the production of surfactant by alveoli in the lungs: Surfactant protein C (SFTPC), Surfactant protein A2 (SFTPA2), and Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3). Surfactant is a mixture of proteins and fats that helps keep the alveoli from collapsing when a person exhales and also protects lung cells from infection. Mutations at these loci have age-dependent effects, however, it is not yet possible to predict which family members will develop Pneumonia at what age. The other six disease genes are associated with telomeres: Telomerase reverse transcriptase , Telomerase RNA component , Dyskerin , Telomere repeat binding factor 1-interacting nuclear factor 2 , Regulator of telomere elongation helicase , Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease . Mutations in these genes impede the ability of the body to repair damage in the telomeres of chromosomes and thus they become shorter, which can also increase the risk of developing Pneumonia, amongst many other diseases. Currently, doctors do offer genetic testing for these 9 disease genes in cases where two or more individuals in the same family have Pneumonia.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients infected with COVID-19 were found to have twice the risk of developing pneumonia. Doctors have developed a DNA test that uses multiple polymerase chain reactions to detect DNA and antibiotic resistance of streptococcus pneumoniae in a patient’s blood sample. This can be done in the span of four hours which is much quicker than the conventional method of growing bacterial cultures which is prone to false negatives due to patients receiving antibiotics before the sample is collected. The test expedites the treatment procedure with doctors being able to prescribe antibiotics at an earlier stage and making it more effective in the treatment of Pneumonia.

Cause section should probably be updated to take into account the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 amongst pneumoniae causes

This is important because such beliefs may lead the public to not consiser SARS-CoV-2 as a potential cause of pneumonia and lead to unjustified intakes of antibiotics. MathieuSchopfer (talk) 06:09, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Is pneumonia the same as asthma?

No, they're different as asthma is a difficulty for breathing and can cause tiredness , but pneumonia is a disease of the lungs; filling the alveolus with a fluid and can result a cause of death, for more information, watch the Videowiki/Pneumonia video or search the article Pneumonia.

Add A Fact: "Child dies of pneumonia every 43 seconds"

Not done—I will go out on a limb to say this is the type of statistic that generally tugs the heartstrings more than it meaningfully educates. It would be an unencyclopedic addition. Remsense ‥ 论 03:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
