Association between dopamine D2 receptor gene polymorphisms and the risk of heroin dependence.
Heroin dependence is a chronic relapsing brain disease. Researchers have reported that the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) is involved in the development of opiate dependence. To identify markers that contribute to the genetic susceptibility to heroin addiction, we examined the potential association between heroin dependence and six polymorphisms of the DRD2 gene using the MassARRAY system. Three h...
متن کاملThe Association between Preeclampsia and Defined Polymorphisms in Prothrombin and Coagulation Factor V Genes
Background & Aims: Preeclampsia is one of the complications of pregnancy and a major cause of maternal mortality. Since, hypercoagulation is one of the risk factors, defined polymorphisms of V and II coagulation factors (G1691A and G20210A) may increase the risk of the disease. Methods: This investigation was performed on blood samp...
متن کاملThe association between selected RANKL gene polymorphisms and chronic/aggressive periodontitis in Iranian subjects
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the status of RANKL6-7 gene polymorphism in patients with chronic (mild, moderate, severe) and aggressive periodontitis as well as healthy controls. We examined80 patients for the RANKL6-7 polymorphisms (rs1054016 and rs9567000). Polymorphism was determinedby polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by direct sequencing. No statistica...
متن کاملAssociation between the Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R) Gene Polymorphisms and Growth Trait in Sumba Ongole Cattle
Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene has been known as a candidate gene for growth traits in livestock. This research was aimed to identify the polymorphism of MC4R gene and its association with growth traits in Sumba Ongole (SO) cattle. The growth traits data consist of body weight and body size. Eighty four blood samples were collected and used for DNA isolation. The...
متن کاملThe Association between TNF-alpha Gene Polymorphisms and Endometriosis in An Iranian Population
Objective Objective: TNF-α is an important cytokine in acute inflammatory response to infective factors. It seems that this response increases in patients with endometriosis due to presence of cytokines such as TNF-α which has been investigated in patients with endometriosis in different populations. This study aimed at examining four polymorphisms; TNF-α -238G/A, -308G/A, -857C/T and -863C/A a...
