Genetic association of UBE2B variants with susceptibility to male infertility in a Northeast Chinese population.
The ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2B gene (UBE2B) is involved in the regular and symmetric organization of the fibrous sheath of sperm flagella. This study aimed to examine the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in UBE2B and infertility in Northeast Chinese men. We carried out a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis for SNPs in 312 f...
متن کاملGenetic variants in TP53 and MDM2 associated with male infertility in Chinese population.
The TP53, a transcriptional regulator and tumor suppressor, is functionally important in spermatogenesis. MDM2 is a key regulator of the p53 pathway and modulates p53 activity. Both proteins have been functionally linked to germ cell apoptosis, which may affect human infertility, but very little is known on how common polymorphisms in these genes may influence germ cell apoptosis and the risk o...
متن کاملAssociation between Genetic Variants of Nitric Oxide/cGMP Pathway and Susceptibility to Hypertension in Kermanshah Province
Background and purpose: Hypertension is a global health challenge due to its high prevalence and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is a multifactorial disease in which both genetic and environmental factors are involved. So far, a number of genes and pathways have been proposed to be associated with HTN, including the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway. To further clarify the role of NO /cGM...
متن کاملAssociation of multiple genetic variants with breast cancer susceptibility in the Han Chinese population
We selected 13 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) to investigate whether they were associated with breast cancer risk in the Chinese Han population. Upon statistical analyses of clinical data from 551 patients and 577 controls, we found that six of the 13 SNPs were associated with breast cancer; namely, rs4973768(Odds ratio (OR) = 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.01-1.67), rs98178...
متن کاملAssociation of the miR-17-5p variants with susceptibility to cervical cancer in a Chinese population
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression; however, the extent to which single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) interfere with miRNA gene regulation and affect cervical cancer (CC) susceptibility remains largely unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed miRNA-related SNPs and their association with CC risk, and performed a case-control study of miR-17-5p SNPs and CC risk in a Chin...
