[ 1 ] - Prevalence of osteoporosis and vitamin D receptor gene polymor-phisms (FokI) in an Iranian general population based study (Kurdistan) (IMOS)

  Background: Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass density (BMD) and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of hip, spine, and wrist fractures. There are numerous risk factors for osteoporosis. While many of these factors are non-genetic in nature, there is a definite genetic component responsible for this condi...

[ 2 ] - Association of the CTLA-4 1722TC polymorphism and systemic lupus erythematosus: a systematic review and meta analysis

  Background :Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an important negative regulator of T-cell responses. The -1722TC polymorphism of the CTLA-4 gene may be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk, but related results from previous studies have been inconsistent. We carried out a meta-analysis to assess this association more precisely.   Methods : A systematic s...

[ 3 ] - Predicting the Risk of Osteoporosis Using Decision Tree and Neural Network

Introduction: Osteoporosis is one of the major causes of disability and death in elderly people. The objective of this study was to determine the factors affecting the incidence of osteoporosis and provide a predictive model to accelerate diagnosis and reduce costs. Method: In this fundamental descriptive study, a new model was proposed to identify the factors affecting osteoporosis. Data relat...
