Associating rare genetic variants with human diseases
Citation: Zhang Q (2015) Associating rare genetic variants with human diseases. Genome researches have revealed that a large portion (over 50%) of genetic variants on human chromosomes are rare variants (RVs) with extremely low allele frequency (usually defined as less than 1%) in populations. In recent years, advances of DNA genotyping and sequencing technologies have been facilitating the dis...
متن کاملCCL22 16C/A Genetic Variation is not Associated with Breast Carcinoma in Southern Iranian Population
Background: CCL22/MDC is a CC chemokine with a critical role in regulation of the immune balance in physiological condition. CCL22/CCR-4 ligation has been documented to participate in the migration of regulatory T (Treg) cells and Th2 lymphocytes to the site of breast tumors; circumstances that are known to be associated with poor prognosis. Objective: To investigate the association of a single...

متن کاملAssociation Between MTHFR Genetic Variants and Multiple Sclerosis in a Southern Iranian Population
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating neuro- inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Genetic predisposition has long been suspected in the etiology of this disease. The association between MTHFR polymorphisms and MS has been ivestigated in different ethnic groups. We investigated the association between MTHFR C677T and A1298C missense variants and MS in 180 patients ...
