APOE gene polymorphisms and diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Genetic factors may influence the natural course of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and explain some of its variability. The aim of this review was to examine the association between apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene polymorphisms and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Four relevant studies were identified. The two earlier works provided evidence that the ɛ4 allele is a risk factor for this complication...
متن کاملApoE Gene Therapy: An Overview and Update
Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death in industrialized societies. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is an attractive candidate to treat hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease, as it is a circulating protein with pleiotropic atheroprotective actions. Here, we describe several "gene addition" approaches and on-going developments to achieve efficient delivery and long-term expression....
متن کاملApoE gene therapy to treat hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in industrialized countries and is becoming an increasingly worldwide risk to health. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a blood circulating protein with pleiotropic atheroprotective properties that has emerged as a strong candidate for treating hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease. In this review, we discuss the major developments in both viral ...
متن کاملCorrelation between ApoE gene polymorphisms and the occurrence of urolithiasis
The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphisms and the occurrence of urolithiasis and dyslipidemia. A total of 180 Uyghur individuals, including 90 urolithiasis patients and 90 healthy controls, were enrolled in this study. The blood lipid profiles of the patients and controls were investigated and compared, and the composition...
متن کاملCD38 gene polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Introduction: CLL is one of the most common leukemias, which is categorized by the accumulation of mature CD5+ B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, and secondary lymphoid organs. In this study, the status of rs6449182 polymorphism of the CD38 gene and its association with clinical and laboratory parameters of CLL patients was evaluated. Methods: Genomic DNA extraction was perfor...
