Impact of Genetic Variants in Mir-122 Gene and its Flanking Regions on Hepatitis B Risk
MicroRNAs are small non coding RNAs that are involved in gene expression regulation. Mir-122 was reported to inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV), but little is known about the role of mir-122 polymorphisms on HBV infection development. This present study aimed to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in mir-122 gene region with HBV infection. Study cases were HB...
متن کاملMechanisms by which common variants in the TCF7L2 gene increase risk of type 2 diabetes.
Genetic variants in the gene encoding for transcription factor-7-like 2 (TCF7L2) have been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and impaired beta cell function, but the mechanisms have remained unknown. We therefore studied prospectively the ability of common variants in TCF7L2 to predict future T2D and explored the mechanisms by which they would do this. Scandinavian subjects followed for up ...
متن کاملNucleotide Excision Repair Gene ERCC2 and ERCC5 Variants Increase Risk of Uterine Cervical Cancer
PURPOSE Defects in the DNA damage repair process can cause genomic instability and play an important role in cervical carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association of 29 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes in the DNA repair pathway, TP53, and TP53BP1 with the risk of cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine SNPs in four genes in the D...
متن کاملCritical Confluence: Gene Variants, Insecticide Exposure May Increase Childhood Brain Tumor Risk
The use of engineered nanomaterials has grown dramatically over the past decade as the pharmaceutical, electronics, and other industries leverage these materials’ unique physical and chemical properties. In environmental circles, nanomaterials have aroused concern because, even as their use burgeons, their impact on animal and plant life remains largely unknown. Moreover, scientists studying th...
متن کاملMMP-9 gene variants increase the risk for non-atopic asthma in children
BACKGROUND Atopic and non-atopic wheezing may be caused by different etiologies: while eosinophils are more important in atopic asthmatic wheezers, neutrophils are predominantly found in BAL samples of young children with wheezing. Both neutrophils as well as eosinophils may secrete matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9). Considering that MMP-9 plays an important role in airway wall thickening and ...
