O-8: Some Variations of the TSSK2 Gene May be Associated with Impaired Spermatogenesis

Background: Tssk2, a member of the testis specific serine/threonine kinase (TSSK) family, is expressed predominantly in the testis and crucial for the formation and function of the sperm cells in mouse. Targeted deletion of Tssk1 and 2 in male chimeric mice caused infertility due to haploinsufficiency of the genes. Therefore it is reasonable to postulate that mutations in its human homologue TS...

Evaluation of ten SNP Markers for Human Identification and Paternity Analysis in Persian Population

Background: DNA markers are inevitable tools of human identification in forensic science. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are one category of these markers which is concerned to use especially in the case of degraded DNA because of their short amplicons. Objectives: Detection of highly informative SNPs by the criteria is the essential step to devel...

Determination of fucosyltransferase 3 gene polymorphisms frequency in Iranian blood donors

Abstract Background and Objectives The FUT3 gene regulates the expression of Lewis blood group antigens mainly Lea and Leb. The Lewis negative phenotype, is the result of an inactivated FUT3 enzyme that lacks glycosidase activity. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may cause enzyme inactivation with different racial distribution. This study aimed to determine the frequency of these...

CTLA4 Gene Variants in Autoimmunity and Cancer: a Comparative Review

Gene association studies are less appealing in cancer compared to autoimmune diseases. Complexity, heterogeneity, variation in histological types, age at onset, short survival, and acute versus chronic conditions are cancer related factors which are different from an organ specific autoimmune disease, such as Grave’s disease, on which a large body of multicentre data is accumulated. For years t...
