cytokines play a part in pathogenesis of periodontitis via inflammation phenomenon. aggressive periodontitis (agp) is a multifactorial disease resulting in rapid tooth loss due to severe destruction of tooth supporting apparatus. recently, researchers have focused on genetic susceptibility of periodontitis through investigating the gene variations of cytokines and other components of immune res...

The present study was carried out to investigate the association of C/T single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)in exon 5 of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) gene and A/C SNP in the 3' untranslated region of oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1)gene with milk production traits in Iranian Holstein dairy Cattle. The blood samples of 153 (for OLR1) and 308 (for SCD1) dairy cattle from thre...

DNA polymorphism within diacylglycerol transferase 2 (DGAT2) / monoacyl glycerol transferases 2 (MOGAT2), leptin and butyrophilin genes were analysed using PCR-SSCP in Murrah buffalo. The single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of amplified gene fragment in exon 5 of MOGAT2, exon 3 of leptin and intron 1 of butyrophilin gene revealed different patterns. A, B and C showed the fol...

implantation failure is the most frequent cause of pregnancy loss in couples who try to conceive, either in a natural way or using assisted reproductive techniques (art). identify the precise mechanisms of implantation failure can lead to identify couples at risk and also providing appropriate therapeutic options to affected couples. despite the high prevalence of this disorder, a few causing f...

background:it has been hypothesized that genetic factors other than histocompatibility disparity may play a role in predisposition to developing chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml). in this regard, th1 and th2 cytokines and their gene polymorphism seems to be important. overall expression and secretion of cytokines is dependent, at least in part, on genetic polymorphism (nucleotide variations) w...

background: β-thalassemia as a hereditary disease is defined as defective synthesis of   β-globin chains, resulting in erythropoiesis abnormalities and severe anemia. different studies have shown that cytokines and cytokine gene polymorphisms play a major role in the pathogenesis of   β-thalassemia. single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) within the promoter region or other regulatory sequences ...

background attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is a multi-factorial disorder that has defined by hyperactivity, impulsivity and attention deficits. various neurotransmitters such as dopamine can play a role in its pathophysiology. the aim of this study was to examine the association of two common single nucleotide polymorphisms in drd2 gene, taq i a (t/c) and taq i b (g/a), with adh...

dna polymorphism within diacylglycerol transferase 2 (dgat2) / monoacyl glycerol transferases 2 (mogat2), leptin and butyrophilin genes were analysed using pcr-sscp in murrah buffalo. the single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) analysis of amplified gene fragment in exon 5 of mogat2, exon 3 of leptin and intron 1 of butyrophilin gene revealed different patterns. a, b and c showed the fol...
