background and objectives: hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is a worldwide concern and it is the major cause of liver disease. several genotypes of the hcv have been reported from different regions of the world. the determination of the hcv genotypes is important for the prediction of response to antiviral treatment and clinical outcomes. so, hcv genotyping in each region is of great importanc...

conclusions it is suggested that determination of the target genotype by plasma subtyping for choosing the proper antiviral therapy is essential but may result in therapy failure. hcv genotyping in pbmc samples, along with plasma specimens, might be more beneficial. therefore determining the hcv genotype in pbmcs, before beginning the therapy is useful due to the possibility of occult infection...

the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis b virus (hbv) genotypes in isparta, southwest of turkey, as well as the clinical features and transmission route for patients with hbv infections. methods: patients (n = 135) with hbv infection were included in the study. epidemiological and clinical data were obtained. hbv genotypes were determined with a pres2 epitope elisa ...

the primary aim of plant breeding is to improve stability in yield and to obtain varieties with good quality. for this reason, a study of wheat varieties was conducted in 2010, 2011, and 2012 at the agricultural application and research center fields of the uludag university, agricultural faculty, in bursa/turkey. in the study, 22 advanced lines of bread wheat and gonen, pehlivan, and flamura c...

This research aimed to explore the ACE (insertion/deletion) gene association as key factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development in north Indian population. A total of 200 clinically diagnosed patients with COPD were selected against 200 healthy individuals. Genetic variations of ACE (insertion/deletion) were evaluated by using polymerase chain reaction ...

A study was performed to study the effect of drought stress on protein changes of five wheat genotypes. Wheat genotypes were planted in early November, growing season of 2008-2009. The experiment was carried out in a factotial design with three replications. Two drought stress levels (irrigated and Non irrigated) and five genotype of wheat (F103-L-1-12//PONY/OPATA, F1.158/FDL//BLO/3/SH14414/CRO...

Abstract Background: Distribution of hepatitis C virus genotypes varies geographically and can be associated with clinical aspects. The virus has six major genotypes and eleven sub-genotypes. According to the recent studies, in hepatitis C patients, treatment duration and ribavirin dosage should be determined based on the type of virus genotype. Be...

Abstract The evaluation of the yield stability of genotypes and environment is of prime concern to plant breeders. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the structure of the GE interaction is needed. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the use of sites regression (SREG) GGE methodology to stratify the pe × environment (GE) interaction in lentil. Yield data of 10 genotypes of le...
