Objective Globozoospermia is a rare syndrome with an incidence of less than 0.1% among infertile men. Researchers have recently identified a large deletion, about 200 kbp, encompassing the whole length of DPY19L2 or mutations in SPATA16 and PICK1 genes associated with globozoospermia. The aim of this study was to analyze the DPY19L2 gene deletion using polymerase chain reaction technique for th...

Globozoospermia, also called round-headed spermatozoa, is a rare disease with incidence< 0.1% among male infertile patients. The most prominent feature of globozoospermi...

conclusions this finding may help improve early detection, differential diagnosis, genetic counseling, and even treatment of patients with pku. introduction phenylketonuria (pku) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of phenylalanine metabolism, which is caused by mutation in phenylalanine hydroxylase (pah) gene. most of the pah mutations are missense mutations (67%), which are followed by sma...

breast cancer (bc) is considered as one of the most important causes of death worldwide. previous studies showed that apolipoprotein b mrna- editing catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (apobec3) gene deletion significantly increased the risk of bc risk in chinese and european women. the present study aimed to assess the possible impact of apobec3 deletion and the risk of bc in a sample of iranian popu...

the current paper is an outlook toward lexical aspect and its types exist as a semantic parameter in verb and indicate trend of doing task of verb in terms of continuance, iteration, duration etc. although discourse aspect is considered as independent factor in verb morphology, but the resultant syntactic reflection does not solely corresponds to grammatical aspect; instead, it includes lexical...

Background: Successful IVF process is limited by factors such as oocyte quality. Oocyte quality can be defined as its abilities to be fertilized, mature and give rise to normal offspring and it is dependent on nuclear maturation and cytoplasm maturation. Damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been described in oocytes in IVF failure women that decrease cytoplasmic quality because Mitochondria ...
