background: with the prevalence of 6-10%, polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is considered the most common endocrinological disorder affecting women in their reproductive age. it has been suggested that genetic factors participate in the development of pcos. follicular development has been considered as one of the impaired processes in pcos. bone morphogenetic protein-15 (bmp-15) gene is a cand...

Abstract Background In the United Arab Emirates, rotavirus A (RVA) remains a major cause of gastroenteritis in young children despite universal use vaccines. Monitoring genetic diversity circulating strains is essential to better understand disease burden. Although semi-nested multiplex-PCR popular method for RVA genotyping, some clinically significant may not be accurately identified by this m...

background: classification of molar gestation into complete hydatidiform mole (chm) and partial hydatidiform mole (phm) is done according to clinical, ultrasonographic, histologic and genetic criteria. however, making a distinction between chm and phm using histologic criteria alone may be difficult and several studies have shown that misclassifications are frequent, even for experienced pathol...

objectives: this current research was conducted in order to analyze the molecular characterization of isolated cryptosporidium spp. in the southwest of iran. materials and methods: in this survey, 390 fecal samples were collected from immunocompromised individuals and children under five-years-of-age. parasitic infection was evaluated using wet mount preparation, formalin ether, a modified acid...

methods and materials: hepatitis b virus dna was detected by conventional pcr in some of the serum samples obtained from hbsag-positive chronic hepatitis b (chb) patients who were referred to health centers of shahrekord for routine monitoring of the disease. subsequently, using real-time pcr, the dna samples were used for genotyping and analysis of resistance to lamivudine. results: the dna wa...

Background: The COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has diverse symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic, mild symptoms such as flu-like illness and pneumonia to acute respiratory distress syndrome, which ends in death. Until now, mechanism of that causes widespread severity factors influence it are still unclear. During viral internalization, needs be cleaved serine protease encoded TMP...

Rotavirus infections are the most common causes of infectious diarrhea in young children worldwide. We performed a genotyping rotavirus strains by RT-PCR for G (VP7) and P (VP4), Anadara tuberculosa, Lactuca sativa feces samples with collected Panama. Combinations genotypes (VP4) were identified tuberculosa: 30 (15%) corresponding to G12P[8], 26 (13%) G12P[6], 28 (14%) G1P[8], 7 (3.5%) G2P [6]....

AIM To test for the possible association between mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) promoter polymorphism and alcoholism. METHODS Genotyping to identify the polymorphisms in 515 alcoholic patients and 361 normal controls was performed. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the genotype and allele frequencies of the -357A/G polymorphism in alcoholics and normal cont...
