the study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region
چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولEffect of leptin receptor Q223R polymorphism on breast cancer risk
Objective(s):Leptin receptor (LEPR) is a member of the class I cytokine receptor super-family that is known implicated in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. We have investigated the effect of Q223R polymorphism on the breast cancer susceptibly in a sample of Iranian subjects. Materials and Methods:We utilized a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphi...
متن کاملProgesterone receptor gene polymorphism is associated with decreased risk for breast cancer by age 50.
In a population-based case-control study for breast cancer before the age of 51 years, 554 cases and 559 age-matched controls were genotyped for the polymorphic progesterone receptor allele PROGINS. Breast cancer risk was decreased in women carrying the PROGINS allele. The odds ratio adjusted for age and study region was 0.76 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.58-1.00]. Compared with wild-type A1...
متن کاملAssociation of the progesterone receptor gene with breast cancer risk: a single-nucleotide polymorphism tagging approach.
Association studies on susceptibility to breast cancer using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the progesterone receptor (PGR) gene have been previously published, but the results have been inconclusive. We used a comprehensive SNP-tagging approach to search for low-penetrance susceptibility alleles in a study of up to 4,647 cases and 4,564 controls, in a two-stage study design. We ident...
متن کاملAssociation of Alu Insertion Polymorphism in Progesterone Receptor Gene with Risk of Multiple Sclerosis
Background and purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the myelin sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. The prevalence of disease is higher in women and it seems that sex hormones, which usually exert their effects through receptors, are involved in susceptibility to MS. Considering the functional role of Alu insertion 306 bp polymorp...
