background coronary artery disease (cad) is the most common cause of death worldwide. mef2a directly regulates target genes in the process of muscle development. this gene product is a transcription factor. mef2a protein in homodimer or heterodimer forms binds to a/t-rich cis elements with conserved sequence in promoter, regulator, and enhancer of many genes, which are determining in evolution ...

Background: Human cornea expresses functional Fas-ligand capable of killing Fas+ activated lymphocytes. Fas expression is partly regulated by -670 A/G polymorphism in the promoter region of Fas gene. Objective: The aim of the present study is to determine the association between Fas-670A/G polymorphism and survival of corneal transplantation. Methods: In 276 graft recipients who mainly underwen...

Background & Aims: To investigate the association of CFI p.Gly119Arg polymorphism with Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, the association of p.Gly119Arg polymorphism in CFI gene was investigated in 65 patients suffering from AMD and150 healthy age, sex and ethnicity matched unrelated people as control group. Both of the case and cont...

the miru-vntr polymorphism and katg463 mutation are used to genotype the mycobacterium tuberculosis, but the correlation between them and inh-resistance were unknown. this study was aimed to explore whether etre polymorphism and katg463 mutation could predict the inh-resistance, and the relationship between etre polymorphism and katg463 mutation.the etre, katg463 mutation and drug resistance in...

Introduction: One factor known to cause thrombophilia in women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is C677T polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene. This study aimed to determine the association between RSA and MTHFR C677T polymorphism in Iranian patients. Methods: In this case-control study, 30 patients with previous history of two or more consecutive unexpla...

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...

The polymorphism of liquid cesium at atmospheric pressure in thetemperature range ~590 K the form a second-order phasetransition, announced late 90s, is not confirmed new experimentalworks and computer simulations its properties. At same time, thequestion whether change properties with adecrease or increase density up to two times monotonous isaccompanied by various anomalies needs further rese...

This article shows the results of studies in course which a comparative aspect LEP polymorphism was studied subpopulations Holstein dairy cattle cows with fatty hepatosis and healthy animals. is first time such are being conducted. In this case, hepothesis about relationship genetic markers, particular leptin gene, risk developing progression liver disease model when determining frequency occur...
