ThirtyFrieswal lactating cows were screened for clinical and subclinical mastitis and subsequently classified into healthy, subclinically affected and clinically affected groups each group comprising of 10 cows. Polymorphism of cow lactoferrin (LTF) gene promoter was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results showed that LFT gene pro...

A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) test was performed to investigate the allele frequencies of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF1 and IGF2 genes) in 90 broilerchickens. A 793 bp fragment of IGF1 gene and 1146 bp fragment of IGF2 gene were amplified and digested with HinfI and Hsp92II restriction enzymes,respectively. Two types of alleles of A and B...

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...

BACKGROUND/AIM Increased levels of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) have been associated with risk of developing chronic periapical lesion (CPL). Gene polymorphisms are contributing factors in the pathogenesis of the inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyze polymorphism in the gene MMP-8 and its association and influence on clinical manifestation of CPL. METHODS A total of 240 unr...

results we identified no mutations in these patients in the three screened positions. conclusions to ensure that these genes play no role in the disease, evaluation of the non-coding regions of both the cyp1b1 and myoc genes is strongly recommended, since other genes are involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. patients and methods forty patients with poag were recruited from the ophthalmic di...

AIM To analyze the effect of TLR-9 (-1486 T>C) and TLR-9 (C>T) gene polymorphisms both at TLR-9 levels and together with their sepsis parameters. In this regard, the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used in order to detect TLR-9 gene polymorphisms, whereas the ELISA technique was used to analyze TLR-9 serum levels in 80 sepsis patients ...

The present study was planned with the objective to amplify 5’NCR Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and 3’UTR Prolactin receptor (PRLR) genes using caprine specific primers by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in Surti Mehsana goats. IGF1 gene found be monomorphic on restriction digestion HaeIII, which revealed only one genotype GG both allele frequ...
