Epidermal growth factor gene is a newly identified candidate gene for gout
Chromosome 4q25 has been identified as a genomic region associated with gout. However, the associations of gout with the genes in this region have not yet been confirmed. Here, we performed two-stage analysis to determine whether variations in candidate genes in the 4q25 region are associated with gout in a male Chinese Han population. We first evaluated 96 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملGAD2 Identified as Candidate Gene for Obesity
PLoS Biology | http://biology.plosjournals.org Biochemists aren’t much accustomed to seeing their work in the popular press, save for annual coverage of the Nobel prize in chemistry. This year, Roderick MacKinnon was recognized for working out the atomic structure of an ion channel and Peter Agre for discovering that a major protein found in red blood cells functions primarily as a water channe...
متن کاملAnti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene Therapy for Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary intracranial brain tumor in adults with a mean survival of 14 to 15 months. Aberrant activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a significant role in GBM progression, with amplification or overexpression of EGFR in 60% of GBM tumors. To target EGFR expressed by GBM, we have developed a strategy to deliv...
متن کاملendometriosis: a history written by aberrant hoxa10 gene expression and epidermal growth factor (egf) system polymorphism?
endometriosis is a gynecologic disorder characterized by the presence of viable, extrauterine endometrial tissue, predominantly on the ovary and pelvic peritoneum (1-3). typical symptoms consist of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility (1, 2). this condition takes place only in women of menstrual age, can grow or bleed cyclically and may cause adhesions (1, 2). endometriosis represents a w...
