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...

Background: Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activities that implicated in the pathogenesis of some autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to determine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IL-33, rs1929992, in patient’s gene ...

objective(s): asthma results from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. adam33 gene on chromosome 20p13 is associated with asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness. materials and methods: this is a case-control study, where four snps s1 (rs3918396), t1 (rs2280091), t2 (rs2280090), v4 (rs2787094) of adam33 gene have been assessed in patients with allergic asthma and normal cont...

We show that the statistical power of a single single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) score test for genetic association reflects the cumulative effect of all causal SNPs that are correlated with the test SNP. Statistical significance of a score test can sometimes be explained by the collective effect of weak correlations between the test SNP and multiple causal SNPs. In a finite population, weak...

BACKGROUND: Interaction between estrogen and receptor (ER) takes part in the regulation differentiation of breast tumorigenesis. Some ERα polymorphisms, including rs3798577, are reported to be associated with risk aggressiveness carcinoma since site was targeted by microRNA, which can further modulate expression. Hence, this study conducted disclose possible role SNP rs3798577 on patients.METHO...

AIM In this study, we examined parts of six growth genes (growth hormone [GH], melanocortin 4 receptor [MC4R], growth hormone receptor [GHR], phosphorglycerate mutase [PGAM], myostatin [MSTN], and fibroblast growth factor [FGF]) as specific primers for two rabbit lines (V-line, Alexandria) using nucleotide sequence analysis, to investigate association between detecting single nucleotide polymor...

BACKGROUND Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a pain disorder localized in the vestibular mucosa. It is the most common cause of dyspareunia among young women and it is associated with general pain hypersensitivity and other chronic pain conditions. Polymorphism in the guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase (GCH1) gene has been found to influence general pain sensitivity and the risk of developing...

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CD24 has been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a population based study. This SNP results in the replacement of alanine (CD24A) by valine (CD24V) at amino acid 57 in the resulting polypeptide chain. In the current study, the genotyping of this SNP and its contribution to MS in 217 patients and 200 healthy individuals of an Iranian population w...
