[ 1 ] - Methylation Analysis of 5’UTR Promoter Region of DBC2 as a Biomarker in the Peripheral Bloods of Some Iranian Women with Sporadic Breast Cancer
Background and Objective: The DBC2 (deleted in breast cancer 2) or RhoBTB2 (Located on 8p21) is a tumor suppressor gene associated with tumorigenesis. Mutational studies of DBC2 at its promoter region in breast cancer revealed an important role for epigenetic changes contributing to its low expression. Epigenetic changes through hypermethylation of the promoter can cause the inactivation of DBC...
[ 2 ] - Muscle Biopsy
Muscle biopsy has been used for a long time for diagnosis of muscular, nerurogenic and systemic disorders with muscle involvement, because only very few of these disorders show sufficient specific clinical features for definite diagnosis. Since the presence of difficulties in the screening of numerous genes, muscle biopsy could be a time and cost effective procedure for solving the diagnostic p...
[ 3 ] - The Diagnostic Value of Utrophin in Mild Dystrophinopathy (Becker Muscular Dystrophy)
Background and Objective: Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) is a subtype of dystrophinopathies and designated as “mild form of dystrophinopathy”. The frequency rate of the disease is 1:18000 to 1:30000 in different populations and the symptoms are presented at about 8-9 years of age. The diagnostic panel composed of Serum Ceratin Kinase (SCK) measurement, Electromyography (EMG), and as a major...
[ 4 ] - The Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Effects of Bisphenol-A (BPA) in MCF-7 Cell Line and Amniocytes
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an industrial xenoestrogen used widely in our living environment. Recently, several studies suggested that BPA has destructive effects on DNA and chromosomes in normal body cells via estrogen receptors (ER). Therefore, BPA could be considered as an important mediator in many diseases such as cancer. However, there are still many controversial issues which need clarification...
[ 5 ] - Relationship Between PIK3CA Amplification and P110α and CD34 Tissue Expression as Angiogenesis Markers in Iranian Women with Sporadic Breast Cancer
Background and Objective: The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is known to play an important role in regulating angiogenesis both in normal and breast cancer (BC) tissues. PIK3CA amplification was reported in various malignancies, including approximately 10% of BC cases. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of PIK3CA amplification in Iranian female patient...
[ 6 ] - مطالعه مارکرهای بافتی Her-2،ER و CK5/6 و جهش های ژن BRCA2 در مردان ایرانی مبتلا به سرطان پستان
چکیده مقدمه: سرطان پستان در مردان بیماری نادری است که در حدود 1% از همه موارد سرطان پستان را به خود اختصاص میدهد. در بررسی متون مطالعهای در رابطه با سرطان پستان مردان در ایران یافت نشد. به علت شیوع رو به افزایش آن توجه افزونتری در این زمینه مورد نیاز است. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی وجود جهش در ژن BRCA2 و تومور مارکر های ER، Her-2 و CK5/6 در بیماران مرد مبتلا به سرطان پستان به منظور نشر دانش ...
