چکیده
Testing for cancer susceptibility gene, in particular mutations in the BRCA1 gene in association with hereditary breast/ovarian cancer has been extensively studied. We investigated germline mutations in the BRCA1 gene from two Korean hereditary breast/ovarian cancer families using direct DNA sequencing. Blood samples of the thirteen family members were studied. We found three missense mutations; 3232 A→G, 2731 C→T, 3667 A→G. These mutations were involved in the altered coding of amino acids. According to the BIC database, clinical significance of these mutations is regarded as favor polymorphisms. Therefore, these genetic variations are not believed to be involved in the development of the disease, but may be associated with breast/ovarian cancers in another yet undefined way. For further clinical significance of these variations, additional study such as a case-controlled haplotyping study is needed.

Comparative assessment of manual load lifting tasks in three methods: KIM-LHC, WISHA and SNOOK tables: Case study in printing industry
Background: today, musculoskeletal disorders are considered as a serious threat for workers, and one of the main activities, which leads to these problems, is lifting tasks. Moreover, workers in printing industry are widely involved in inappropriate postures and lifting loads. The aim of this study was to compare the results of assessment of lifting tasks with KIM-LHC, WISHA and Snook tables in...

متن کاملA fuzzy reasoning method based on compensating operation and its application to fuzzy systems
In this paper, we present a new fuzzy reasoning method based on the compensating fuzzy reasoning (CFR). Its basicidea is to obtain a new fuzzy reasoning result by moving and deforming the consequent fuzzy set on the basis of themoving, deformation, and moving-deformation operations between the antecedent fuzzy set and observation information.Experimental results on real-world data sets show tha...

The aim of this paper is to generalize the comprehensive structural model for defaultable fixed income bonds (considered in R. Agliardi, A comprehensive structural model for defaultable fixed-income bondsو Quant. Finance 11 (2011), no. 5, 749--762.) into a comprehensive unified model of structural and reduced form models. In our model the bond holders receive the deterministic co...
