Maternal Betaine Homocysteine Methyltransferase Gene Polymorphism as a Risk Factor for Trisomy
Disorder in re-methylation process of homocysteine to methionine due to mutation in betaine homocysteine methyltransferase enzyme (BHMT) coding gene, leads to decrease in S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) synthesis which takes part in DNA methylation as a methyl donor. As a result, it can promote hypo-methylation of DNA, chromosome instability, and chromosome missegregation, which in turn is one of t...
متن کاملA Study of SPINK 1 Mutation and Other Clinical Correlates in Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis
Aim Chronic pancreatitis is labelled as idiopathic when no identifiable factors are found. The identifications of genetic mutations associated with pancreatitis have provided opportunities for identifying patients at risk for idiopathic pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to study the demographic, clinical profile and assess the prevalence of genetic mutation (SPINK 1) in idiopathic chronic...
متن کاملSmoking is underrecognized as a risk factor for chronic pancreatitis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Smoking is an established risk factor for chronic pancreatitis (CP). We sought to identify how often and in which CP patients physicians consider smoking to be a risk factor. METHODS We analyzed data on CP patients and controls prospectively enrolled from 19 US centers in the North American Pancreatitis Study-2. We noted each subject's self-reported smoking status and quantifi...
متن کاملThe -2518 A/G MCP-1 polymorphism as a risk factor of inflammatory bowel disease.
UNLABELLED Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are disorders originated from immune disturbances. The AIM OF THE STUDY was to evaluate the association between the -2518 A/G MCP-1 polymorphism and the risk of IBD development. MATERIAL AND METHODS Genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Study group consisted of 197 subject...
