OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of the most common allelic variants of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2C9, CYP2E1, CYP2F1, CYP2J2 and CYP2S1 in a representative sample of the three ethnic groups (Russians, Tatars and Bashkirs) from Republic of Bashkortostan (Russia), and compare the results with existing data published for other populations. MATERIAL AND METHODS CYPs genotypes were determin...

BACKGROUND Fast, cheap and reliable methods are needed to identify large populations, which may be at risk in relation to environmental exposure. Polymorphisms in NAT1 (N-acetyl transferase) may be suitable markers to identify individuals at risk. RESULTS A strategy allowing to address simultaneously 24 various genetic variants in the NAT1 gene using the single sequencing reaction method on t...

Numerous studies are being carried out on polymorphisms within the genes coding for factors VIII and IX due to their clinical relevance in context of hereditary disorders. The quests polymorphism can be used screen haemophilia through an affected family. In Cameroon, very few gene have been conducted. Thus, this study was aimed at detecting HindIII SNP F8 MseI F9 by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Re...

At the current stage of genetic studies cattle, more and attention is being drawn to autochthonous breeds. Native cattle have a number prominent phenotypic traits preserved unique genes their combinations lost by modern commercial breeds, which would be valuable use in selective programs. We surveyed polymorphism Ukrainian Gray breed according alleles exon 2 BoLA-DRB3 gene. The uniqueness gene ...

Background and Aims: Chronic hepatitis C is one of the most important etiologies of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Clinical condition of hepatic patients and the outcome of chemotherapy are under impact of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes. Therefore, HCV genotyping is important for prediction of success of chemotherapy and progression of liver diseases. Methods: In thi...

Abstract Background Polymorphism A1298C of the methylenetetrahydrofolate-reductase (MTHFR) gene has been implicated in spontaneous abortion. In this study, we determined the allele and genotype frequencies of this polymorphism in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and implantation failure after in vitro fertilization (IVF). Materials and Methods We performed a case–control study on 60 wom...

Background & Aims: Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is a congenital defect of the urinary tract which has been reported in approximately 1% of children. Several immunological and genetic factors are listed as major causes of this problem. The C825T polymorphism of the GNB3 gene is among the genetic factors that may be involved in the development or progression of the disease. Participatory role o...
