This study was aimed of determining the relationship polymorphism growth hormone receptor gene with some traits (daily rate, relative and specific growth, ratio efficiency feed conversion) in 45 samples common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The following are most important results obtained: DNA sequencing single nucleotide (SNP) showed there three mutations sites C24074T, A24375G G24485A. No genetic m...

Note: G/C polymorphism at nucleotide -174 (promoter region) Breast cancer prognosis differs between populations. Despite its lower incidence in Blacks when compared to Caucasians, mortality among the former is higher. Genetic factors involved in the molecular pathways regulating tumor development have been adduced to explain these differences, and it has been suggested that the IL-6 gene is a s...

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a multifactorial disorder and converging evidence has implicated abnormalities of dopamine neurotransmission. The aim of this study was to examine the association of -141 polymorphisms in DRD2 gene with ADHA among Iranian-Azeri population.Materials and Methods A case–control association study included 153 patients with attention defi...

allergic rhinitis (ar) is an ige-mediated upper airway disease, and its impact on asthma has been widely recognized. protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor 22 (ptpn22) gene and the cytotoxic t-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (ctla-4) gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with several immune-related diseases. here we investigated the reffect of these two genes’ polymorphisms ...

several asthma susceptibility loci, including a region containing the vitamin d receptor (vdr) gene located at chromosome 12q, have been identified using genome-wide screens. our aim is to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in vdr gene and asthma. one hundred one asthma patients and 206 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. genotypes were determin...

The discovery of nucleotide diversity captured as single feature polymorphism (SFP) by using the expression array is a high-throughput and effective method in detecting genome-wide polymorphism. The efficacy of such method was tested in rice, and the results presented in the paper indicate high sensitivity in predicting SFP. The sensitivity of polymorphism detection was further demonstrated by ...

HLA genotyping via next generation sequencing (NGS) poses challenges for the use of HLA allele names to analyze and discuss sequence polymorphism. NGS will identify many new synonymous and non-coding HLA sequence variants. Allele names identify the types of nucleotide polymorphism that define an allele (non-synonymous, synonymous and non-coding changes), but do not describe how polymorphism is ...

as a case study, the genotypic polymorphism of the iranian material of diploid triticum was screened based on internal transcribed spacer 2 (its2) of the ribosomal dna (rdna) using single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) analysis. this is a simple and cost effective technique for genotyping and investigating the allelic polymorphism among plant populations. performing sscp analysis among...

myostatin (mstn), also known as growth and differentiation factor-8 (gdf8), is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (tgf-?) superfamily that decreases growth in mammals. a single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) in the myostatin (gdf8) 3'utr of oar2 has been known as responsible for muscular hypertrophy in foreign breeds. in this study, in order to identify single nucleotide polymo...
