AIM This study aimed to determinant association between rs76189946 polymorphism of EGF gene and risk of colorectal cancer in an Iranian population. BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in both genders worldwide. The determination of genetic variation becomes a new way to etiology of colorectal cancer. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a mitogen that plays an im...

Fusarium Head Blight is an important wheat disease in the Argentine Pampas region, being Fusarium graminearum the predominant pathogen. DNA polymorphism of the isolates was analyzed by IGS-RFLP and ISSR. IGS-RFLP and ISSR profiling were carried out using six endonucleases and eight primers, respectively. IGS-RFLP yielded 41 bands, 30 of which were polymorphic while ISSR produced 87 bands with 4...

background: the worldwide distribution of p. vivax has expanded significantly and the number of reported cases has been on the rise. approximately 88% of malaria cases in iran are caused by plasmodium vivax , and in order to management of the disease, understanding the population genetic structure of the parasite is necessary for designing and applying drugs and vaccines. among many potential c...

A detailed genetic map has been constructed from the F2 population of a single intraspecific cross of Lactuca sativa (n = 9). It comprises 319 loci, including 152 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), 130 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), 7 isozyme, 19 disease resistance, and 11 morphological markers. Thirteen major, four minor linkage groups and several unlinked markers are i...

Abstract Background and Aims The pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics of the immunosuppressive drug mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) are subject to significant interindividual variability that affects its efficacy toxicity. present study focused on genetic factors potentially involved in response this kidney transplantation, while taking into account influence non-genetic factors. Method 276 transplant...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Malaria is a major public health problem in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Malaria vaccine is highly desirable as an adjunct to existing malaria control measures. The polymorphism in vaccine candidate antigens might be a hurdle in developing an effective vaccine. Merozoite surface protein-2, apical membrane antigen-1 and circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falci...

Background & Aims: In recent years, molecular methods for characterizing genetic heterogeneity have found a major place in modern approaches. In this study, two different molecular techniques including Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and Multi Locus microsatellite typing (MLMT) were carried out in order to evaluate genetic heterogeneity among isolates of Leishmania major in Iran...

OBJECTIVES Genetic mutations and polymorphisms have been correlated with chronic pancreatitis (CP). This study aims to investigate the association of genetic variants of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK-1) genes and Cathepsin B gene polymorphisms with CP and to associate genetic backgrounds with clinical phenotypes. M...

Abstract. The purpose of the research Was to study genetic diversity bovine leukemia virus isolates obtained in Belgorod Region using restriction fragment length polymorphism method (RFLP). Scientific novelty. Bovine leukosis is one most common chronic infectious diseases cattle many countries world, which causes significant economic losses livestock industry. typing (BLV), its structure, evalu...

Recent development of DNA markers provides powerful tools for population genetic analyses. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers result from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based DNA fingerprinting technique that can detect multiple restriction fragments in a single polyacrylamide gel, and thus are potentially useful for population genetic studies. Because AFLP markers have to...
