Abstract Dendropsophus molitor is a hylid frog endemic to the Eastern Cordillera of Colombian Andes, where it exhibits extensive geographic variation in size and colour pattern. Previous multivariate analyses acoustic genetic data suggested that northern southern populations D. were distinct lineages, consequently, described as luddeckei. In this study, we conducted morphometric luddeckei test ...

Background Varicocele is an abnormal dilation and tortuosity of veins of pampiniform plexus that drains the testis and causes an important change in semen.This abnormality is often one of the most common risk factors for male infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) 4a4b (rs61722009) gene polymorphism, as a common genetic fact...

meriones crassus, meriones persicus, and meriones libycus from different areas of khorasan provinces and yazd province were studied by use of random amplified dna polymorphism (rapd) technique. dna samples were analyzed by use of nine primers. genetic distance among samples varied between 0.24 and 0.78. dendrogram designed on the base of genetic distance shows separation of these species. in th...

In eusocial insects, worker polymorphism is shaped by several factors, including colony size, queen mating frequency, and the timing of queen-worker differentiation during larval development. a comparative study 18 species Cataglyphis desert ants representing wide range sizes, we used phylogenetically controlled analyses to examine correlations between head width variation (i.e., polymorphism) ...

background :5httlpr polymorphism (5- hydroxytryptamine transporter linked promoter region polymorphism) is the most widely studied genetic variant in psychiatry. the present study is a modest effort at ascertaining the role of 5ht transporter linked promoter region polymorphism (5httlpr) in anxiety and depressive disorders in kashmir (india).the aim of this study was to examine 5-hydroxy trypta...

Genetic diversity of three Iraqi local goat breeds (Black, Hybrid, and Meriz) was studied by using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Fifteen primers were used, they generated a total 259 amplification products, from which 142 bands polymorphic, revealing 55.29% polymorphism. It found that the mean value Nei’s gene (h) Shannon's ınformation index (I) 0.1778 0.2546, respectively. A...

Abstract Tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus are the most important reasons in mortality all over the world. It’s clear that reviewing of relationship between Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is necessary; on the other hand it’s found that FTO gene has the positive relationship with metabolic issues. Therefore, it’s necessary pay attention to the above and danger...

Editor’s points † Genetic polymorphism in the m-opioid receptor can affect systemic opioid analgesia. † The effects of the A118G polymorphism on analgesia and pruritus after intrathecal fentanyl for labour analgesia were compared in two ethnically distinct populations. † While there was no effect of the genetic polymorphism, there was a marked effect of the ethnically distinct groups on duratio...

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are encoded by a superfamily of genes and play a role in the detoxification of potential carcinogens. The human GSTs are divided into four classes: alpha, mu, pi and theta. Previous studies indicated that the absence of the Glutathione S-Transferase M1 (GSTM1) protein correlated with an increased risk of developing some types of cancers. Association between spe...
