[ 1 ] - Distribution of the mutated delta 32 allele of CCR5 co-receptor gene in Iranian population

  Background :The CCR5 is a chemokine receptor that serves as a co-receptor for HIV-1 attachment and entry to T lymphocytes. A 32bp deletion (∆32) in this gene is believed to be associated with resistance to infection and delay disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine the ∆32 allele frequency in healthy individuals and HIV-infected individuals with AIDS.   Methods : In this e...

[ 2 ] - بررسی نقش miR-429 با میزان بیان ژن E2F3در رده سرطان پستان

Background and purpose: MicroRNA regulation of cancer-related pathways has a major effect on cancer development. MiR-429 is a member of miR-200 family with an important role in metastasis. There are many studies on the association between miR-429 and liver, bladder, bowel, and gastric cancers. In this study, we investigated the expression changes of E2F3 genes after transfection of MCF-7 cells ...

[ 3 ] - Whole Exome Sequencing for Mutation Screening in Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an immune system disorder characterized by uncontrolled hyper-inflammation owing to hypercytokinemia from the activated but ineffective cytotoxic cells. Establishing a correct diagnosis for HLH patients due to the similarity of this disease with other conditions like malignant lymphoma and leukemia and similarity among its two forms is dif...
