Prothrombin gene mutation (G20210A) in healthy Centenarians.
A recently described genetic variant of the prothrombin gene (G to A transition at nucleotide position 20210) is associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis (1). The 20210A prothrombin allele may precipitate cerebral ischemia or myocardial infarction in young patients with known prothrombotic abnormalities (2, 3). Similarly, it has been demonstrated that factor V Leiden further incre...
متن کاملgene expression profiling for cancer targeted therapy
background : lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer- related deaths and most of themâ are normally diagnosed in late stages, so there is an urgent need to establish reliable tools for the identification at early stages of the disease. in this study, we use an eleven gene signature test to examine lung biopsy specimens for diagnostic, prognostic & therapeutic purposes. methods : bronc...
متن کاملCentenarians as a model for healthy aging.
For over 10 years we have studied centenarians as a model to address the biological basis of aging and longevity, with particular attention to immunology and genetics. The most important findings can be summarized as follows. (i) Human immunosenescence represents a complex remodelling, whereby clonotypical immunity deteriorates, while ancestral, innate immunity is largely preserved. (ii) Contin...
متن کاملExpression Profiling of Microarray Gene Signatures in Acute and Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in Human Bone Marrow
Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute m...
متن کاملAdiponectin and Healthy Aging in Centenarians
As the aging population expands rapidly worldwide, it has become increasingly important to identify factors that offer means to promote healthy aging. It is well documented that advancing age is associated with increased body fat and blunted insulin action. Centenarians, who are the best model of successful aging, are a unique exception to this phenomenon. Increasing evidence has documented the...
