Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a common problem among couples, and acquired thrombophilia is the well-known etiology of RPL. The aim of this study was to establish the association between inherited thrombophilic gene polymorphisms and RPL. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 50 women with unexplained RPL and 50 parous women with no history of miscarriage (age range...

The aim of the present study was to assess the frequencies of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE; OMIM: 106180) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; OMIM: 607093) polymorphisms in the Algerian population to further facilitate investigations on possible associations with various pathologies. The study was carried out on 146 apparently healthy individuals (65 males, 81 females) who w...

Introduction: Vitamin D fulfills its crucial role in cell proliferation and death through signal transduction into the nucleus by vitamin D receptor (VDR). Recent studies have depicted the association between VDR gene polymorphisms and different cancers, including breast cancer. This study attempted to consider the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms and breast cancer risk among women i...

Molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in livestock. The insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. The objectives of the present study were the estimate the haplotype frequencies of the IGF-I gene polymorphisms i...

Background:  Atorvastatin is prescribed for the primary and the secondary prevention of coronary artery diseases. A wide variation in inter-individual statin response suggests that genetic differences may contribute to this variation. This study investigated the association of ABCB1 (C3435T) and ABCC1 (G2012T) polymorphisms with clinical response to atorvastatin in Iranian primary hyperlip...

Abstract Background To determine the clinical value of multigene polymorphisms, LDL-C and sdLDL-C on T2DM therapy. Methods In total, 352 patients before after treatment 48 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. detected by Quantimetrix Lipoprint System. The 11 gene polymorphisms— HTR3B (rs2276307, A > G), APOE (rs7412, c.526C T), (rs429358, c.388 T C), CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910, c.1075A ...

background: the pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (tnf-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. previous studies have reported that the -1031 t/c and -238 g/a polymorphisms in the promoter region of the tnf-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. one of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is end...
