چکیده

schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder with symptoms such as hallucination, delusion and mental disorder. it is a complex disorder, in which genetic components play a crucial role in its pathogenesis. among candidate genes for schizophrenia, neuregulin 1 (nrg1) gene is the most important gene,  association of which with the illness has been confirmed in several studies. single nuclotide polymorphisms (snps) located 5´ upstream of nrg1 have shown significant association with schizophrenia in several populations. here, we describe a designed simple multiplex tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system - polymerase chain reaction (pcr) for genotyping single snp (snp8nrg221533) in the human nrg1 gene. no restriction site was found for distinguishing t and c alleles of this snp. the developed method proved to be simple, rapid and cost effective. this technique was used to compare snp8nrg221533 in 95 schizophernics and 95 healthy controls. our data demonstrate that there is a significant difference between allelic and genotypic frequencies of the two groups. these preliminary results confirm the association of the nrg1 gene with schizophrenia in an iranian population.

Rapid and efficient identification of the mouse leptin receptor mutation (C57BL/KsJ-db/db) by tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) analysis

The C57BLKS/J-Lepr(db) mouse has a point mutation in the leptin receptor gene and is one of the most useful animal model for non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in human. Since the homozygote of C57BLKS/J-Lepr(db) mouse is infertile, detection of point mutation in the leptin receptor gene is important for efficient maintaining strains as well as mass production of homozygotes. To develop a ...

Multiplex tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR to detect 6 common germline mutations of the MUTYH gene associated with polyposis and colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND We describe a simple tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR (T-ARMS-PCR) for detecting MUTYH mutations, which are associated with colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer. METHODS We designed specific T-ARMS-PCR assays for 6 mutations (Y165C, G382D, 1395_7delGGA, Y90X, 1103delC, and R231H) selected on the basis of the frequency of their occurrence. We also desig...

SPECIFIC AMPLIFICATION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMlGATUS DNA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION

Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...

Amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction versus optimized polymerase chain reaction restriction-fragment length polymorphism for apolipoprotein E genotyping of majorly depressed patients.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent, debilitating mood disorder that has been associated with several genetic polymorphisms. One such polymorphism, namely that of apolipoprotein E (APOE), has three allelic forms (ε2, ε3 and ε4) that encode for six unique isoforms of the APOE protein. A growing number of techniques have been developed for APOE genotyping; however, not all polymerase c...
