Background: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder caused by factor IX deficiency.  Analysis of factor IX gene polymorphisms is considered the best approach for prenatal diagnosis and carrier detection of hemophilia B where the identification of gene mutation is not easily possible. Objective: To study the frequency of three factor IX-linked restriction fragment length polym...

introduction: duchene/ becker (dmd/bmd) muscular dystrophy is the most frequent neuromuscular disease in children which is inherited as an x-linked recessive trait. the disease is caused by partial deletion in dystrophin gene. we developed a rapid and robust method for direct identification of female carriers of deletions and duplications in the dystrophin gene, in order to prevent the affected...

objective: the objective of this study is to develop and assess targeted pamam-peg nanocarrier with anti-tag72 nanobody for t-bid gene coding construct delivery into the human colonic adenocarcinoma cells. materials and methods: nanobody (nb) coding sequence was subcloned into psj expression vector for large-scale production and then nb was purified by ni++ affinity chromatography. sds-page an...

phenylketonuria (pku) is one of the most common metabolic inborn diseases caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (pah) gene. this gene is linked to a variable number of tandem repeats (vntr) region which is a polymorphic marker that facilitates the implementation of prenatal diagnosis and carrier screening. in this study, vntr with 13 repeats that has not been reported previously ...

To prevent distribution of recessive alleles in dairy herds all bulls used for AI (Artificial Insemination) haveto be tested. In this study 26 blood and 4 semen samples were supplied from Iranian Holstein bulls used forAI. Genomic DNA was extracted from 100 μl of blood and 200 μl of semen. Samples were tested by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR...

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is one of the most common metabolic inborn diseases caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. This gene is linked to a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) region which is a polymorphic marker that facilitates the implementation of prenatal diagnosis and carrier screening. In this study, VNTR with 13 repeats that has not been reported previously ...

Chitosan-graft-polyethylenimine (CHI-g-PEI) copolymer has been used for theimprovement of low transfection efficiency of chitosan. The present study aims to test thepulmonary toxicity and efficiency of CHI-g-PEI as an aerosol gene carrier. Mice were exposedto aerosol containing green-fluorescent protein (GFP)-polyethylenimine (PEI) or GFP-CHIg-PEI complexes for 30 min during the development of ...
