Abstract The most allergenic protein in cow’s milk for new-borns is Beta Lactoglobulin (β-LG), which also one of the bovine whey proteins. As a result, choosing suitable animals to create free essential. In this study, Indonesian Friesian Holstein’s genetic variants β-LG gene were examined). Forty-two blood samples sampled as DNA sources. allele and genotype variant identified using PCR-RFLP, o...

BACKGROUND Gelatinase B, a matrix metalloproteinase that has proteolytic activity against connective tissue proteins, has been suggested to be important in the connective tissue remodeling processes associated with atherogenesis and plaque rupture. This study tested the hypothesis that sequence variation in the promoter region of the gelatinase B gene influences its expression, predisposing ind...

BACKGROUND The current medical treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is pegylated interferon plus ribavirin, but just 50% of genotype 1 HCV patients and about 80% of HCV genotype 3 patients are treated completely. Recently, the rs12979860 C/T polymorphism, which is located 3 kb upstream of the IL28b gene that codes IFNλ3, shows a powerful association in response to the treatment in HC...

Repetitive element polymorphism-PCR (REP-PCR) is one of the tools that has been used to elucidate genetic diversity of related microorganisms. Using the MB1 primer, REP-PCR fingerprints from 110 Bacillus strains within the "B. cereus group" have identified eighteen distinct categories, while other more distantly related bacterial species fell within six additional categories. All Bacillus anthr...

purpose it is well known that the effects of exercise training gives inter individual differences which might be due to genetic diversity. this study aims to explore the probable relation between angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) alleles and physical fitness parameters in elite athletes. methods twenty-nine national level indian army triathletes who volunteered for the study were taken as sub...

recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) is a multifactorial disorder that remains idiopathic in 50% of the cases. the aim of this study was to investigate the association between mthfd1 as well as enos polymorphisms with idiopathic rpl. in a case-control study, 100 women with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (prl) and 50 controls referred to noor laboratory, khoozestan, iran, were evaluated. genotypi...

conclusion: in this study group, tnf-α -238 polymorphism was shown to be different in preeclamptic and non-preeclamptic pregnant women. the aa genotype and the a allele may carry an increased risk for developing of preeclampsia. results: there were significant differences between the two groups in tnf-α genotype at position -238 (p < 0.001). in the preeclamptic group, the frequency of the aa ge...

background: a dinucleotide variant rs368234815 in interferon lambda 4 (ifnl4) gene was recently found to be associated with the hepatitis c virus (hcv) treatment response. this study aimed to assess the impact of ifnl4 rs368234815 polymorphism on treatment response to pegylated?ifn alpha (peg?ifn??) and ribavirin (rbv) in hemophilic patients with chronic hepatitis c (chc). materials and methods...
