Functional polymorphisms in a candidate gene for atherothrombosis: unraveling the complex fabric of a polygenic phenotype.
Conventional risk factors for atherothrombotic vascular disease account for approximately 50% of the total attributable risk burden. This fact has led to aggressive approaches to the identification of alternate determinants of risk with mechanistic rationale. In this expanding era of the human genome, epidemiologists in search of other risk factors have been given a very large set of additional...
متن کاملCandidate gene polymorphisms for ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ischemic stroke (IS) is a multifactorial disorder with strong evidence from twin, family, and animal model studies suggesting a genetic influence on risk and prognosis. Several candidate genes for IS have been proposed, but few have been replicated. We investigated the contribution of 67 candidate genes (369 single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) on the risk of IS in a N...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in Melanocortin Receptor 1 Gene in Goat Breeds: A Window for Coat Color Controling Mechanism
The broad goal of this research was to examine the nature of the Melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) locus on the coat color phenotype of seven goat breeds with different color coat. Blood samples were collected from five Iranian indigenous (Khalkhal, Markhor, Naeini, Najdi and Tali) and two exotic (Cashmere and Saanen) goat breeds. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism ...
متن کاملCandidate gene polymorphisms and risk of psoriasis: A pilot study
Psoriasis is a complex genetic disease, which has previously been associated with numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are implicated in various processes, including skin barrier functions and in the regulation of inflammatory and immune responses. The present study aimed to investigate the genotypic and allelic frequencies of 32 SNPs at 24 genetic loci, and their association wi...
