SOCS3 mRNA expression and polymorphisms as pretreatment predictor of response to HCV genotype 3a IFN-based treatment
AIM Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3 (SOCS3) gene belongs to SOCS family as one of the negative regulators of cytokine signaling and IFN response that function via the JAK-STAT pathway in antiviral response. SOCS3 expression and genetic polymorphism influences the pathogenesis and outcome of antiviral treatment in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients. This study was designed for analysis...
متن کاملValidating MARK2 Gene Polymorphism as a Predictor of Response to Lithium Treatment in Bipolar Patients
Background: Lithium is a therapeutic option for the treatment of the acute phase of the bipolar disorder and long-term management of this disorder. However, it is estimated that 10 to 60% of patients do not properly response to this medication. Methods: To investigate the role of MARK2 gene in response to lithium, we genotyped the MARK2 rs10792421 polymorphism in Iranian bipolar pa...
متن کاملIL28B Polymorphisms Among Latin American HCV Patients
Latin America is a diverse region with more than 500million people and approximately 8 million HCV infected individuals. The recent description of genetic polymorphisms associated to the interleukin 28B gene that predicts the response to treatment in these patients has impacted the clinical algorithms of management. In this review we examine the studies of prevalence of the IL28B genotypes in t...
متن کاملPnm-27: Anti-Mullerian Hormone As A Predictor of Ovarian Response to Life Style Modification
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age, affecting 7% of this population. Although not entirely understood, the etiology of PCOS is closely linked to obesity and abdominal adiposity that are considered to worsen the clinical presentation, particularly menstrual irregularities and hyperandrogenism. Lifestyle mo...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms of IL28b gene as predictors of response to dual therapy in genotypes 1 and 4-HCV and HIV/HCV-infected patients.
We describe the genotypes and allele distribution of interleukin 28B (IL28B) rs12979860 and rs8099917 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) G1-4 infected patients, to assess predictive ability and to determine whether the combined determination of two IL28B SNPs might improve sustained virologic response (SVR) prediction of both in HCV mono- and HIV/HCV co-infected p...
