Background and objectives: Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers of the gastrointestinal tract in the world, which also has a high prevalence in Iran. ERCC2 gene is considered one of the major genes related to gastric cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between rs13181 polymorphism of ERCC2 gene. The polymorphism in the promoter region of ERCC2 gene can af...

Objective Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMPs) play important roles in the structural and functional properties of reproductive organs. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of C-1562T Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (rs3918242) gene polymorphism in fertile and infertile men. In addition, we aimed to determine the association between C-1562T MMP-9 and G-1575A MMP-2 gene polymorphisms. Mate...

thirtyfrieswal lactating cows were screened for clinical and subclinical mastitis and subsequently classified into healthy, subclinically affected and clinically affected groups each group comprising of 10 cows. polymorphism of cow lactoferrin (ltf) gene promoter was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp). the results showed that lft gene pro...

background : we investigated whether the c-819t snp of the ctla4 gene is associated with type 1 diabetes (t1d) for the egyptian population, a multi-ethnic group.  we determined if expression of the c-819t snp correlated with onset of t1d for egyptian children and the prevalence of this polymorphism with respect to gender. methods: the association of the c-819t snp in intron 1 of the ctla-4 gene...

The diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 gene (DGAT1) was identified as a strong candidate gene affecting mutton quality traits in sheep. Single nucleotide polymorphism creates a single base mutation (C to T) in AGCT site of endonuclease AluI. DGAT1 is one of the candidate genes to improve carcass characteristics in feedlot animals. In order to study area T487C in exon 17 of the DGAT1 polymorphism,...
