Recent studies explored XRCC2 rs3218536 and ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphisms and ovarian cancer (OC) risk. However, the association between these two single nucleotide polymorphisms and OC risk remains conflicting. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association. We searched the databases of PubMed, and Embase. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% co...

This study aimed to examine the polymorphism of BMP15 (FecX$^{G}$ and FecX$^{I}$) GDF9 (G1 G4) genes association between genotypes litter size in Akkaraman breed. Blood samples were taken from 100 ewes total. Genomic DNA was obtained whole blood. The PCR-RFLP technique employed determine polymorphisms under investigation. G1 only polymorphic among four loci analyzed. frequencies for GA GG 0.26 ...

Twenty microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized for Solenocera crassicornis from a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. Their polymorphisms were investigated using 44 wild individuals from the South Yellow Sea. Our investigation revealed that all the markers were polymorphic. The number of alleles per locus varied from 6 to 19 with an average of 12.35. The observed and expected hetero...

Blood plasma of 253 specimens from eight population samples of the sciaenid fish, pescada (Plagioscion squamosissimus), caught from four sites in the Central Amazon, was tested for molecular variants of transferrin. Starch gel electrophoresis was used to distinguish six species of transferrin molecules; 12 of the 21 theoretically possible genotypes were found. There were highly significant depa...

Population genetic structure of stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) in 197 adult specimens from four fishery regions along the Iranian coastline of the southern Caspian Sea was investigated using microsatellite markers. Out of 15 microsatellite primers, 11 loci were produced, in which 10 of them were polymorphic and 1 was monomorph. Totally, 184 alleles were identified and on average 13.1 a...

OBJECTIVES Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are the most informative DNA genetic markers for attempting to individualize biological material for application in paternity and forensic cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted. The DNA samples were used for genotyping VWA and TPOX STR loci using PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ...

The important inflammatory mediator interleukin-8 (IL-8) is responsible for the migration and activation of neutrophils. The IL8 gene contains a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs4073) in its promoter region that may influence the expression of IL-8, and which has been associated with inflammatory diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of the SNP...
