[ 1 ] - The association of FokI and ApaI polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor gene with autoimmune thyroid diseases in the northwest of Iran

Background: Some genetic factors are involved in the etiology of Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves’ disease as autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs). Effects of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in AITDs development have already been investigated in some previous studies. However, no study has been done on the association between VDR FokI and ApaI polymorphisms and AITDs in an Iranian po...

[ 2 ] - Frequency of BCR-ABL Fusion Transcripts in Iranian Azeri Turkish patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Background: The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) characterized by t (9; 22) (q34; q11.2) is a reciprocal translocation giving rise to a chimeric BCR-ABL fusion gene. Incidence of Ph chromosome is over 98% in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and around 20% in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The finding of this fusion gene is essential for diagnosis of CML by detection of various fusi...

[ 3 ] - بررسی اثر گروه‌های خونی والدین بر محل لانه‌گزینی جنین و نسبت جنسی ثانویه در کودکان متولد شده در بیمارستان الزهرای میاندوآب

ABackground & Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parents' ABO and Rh blood groups on the secondary sex ratio and location of the placenta (as a mediator between blood groups and sex ratio), due to the existence of evidence that the implantation site and embryo gender are related.   Materials & Methods: 200 neonates born during 2014 to 2016 at Al-Zahra Hosp...

[ 4 ] - C677T and A1298C Mutations in the Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene in Patients with Recurrent Abortion from the Iranian Azeri Turkish

Background To assess whether the C677T and A1298C mutations in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHER) gene are associated with recurrent abortion (RA), we determined the frequencies of the T677 and C1298 mutations in patients and controls. MaterialsAndMethods Mutations were determined by a RFLP-PCR method in 53 patients and 61 matched controls. Results The frequencies of T alleles were...
