Association between LCE gene polymorphisms and psoriasis vulgaris among Mongolians from Inner Mongolia

Association between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha polymorphism and hypertension in Mongolians in Inner Mongolia.

We investigated a possible association of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) Gly482Ser polymorphism with hypertension in Mongolians in Inner Mongolia. A total of 787 subjects were enrolled randomly, including 390 hypertension patients and 397 healthy controls. Triglycerides, cholesterol, and fasting plasma glucose were measured, and body mass inde...

Association between growth hormone gene polymorphisms and growth traits in Cyprinus carpio from the Caspian Sea

Growth hormone (GH) is the most important hormone that controls somatic cell growth and the syntheses of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. This study was to identify gene polymorphism of GH-1 using PCR- single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique and its association with growth traits including condition factor (CF), body weight (BW) and total length (TL) in common carp (Cyprinus ca...

Replication of Association between ADAM33 Polymorphisms and Psoriasis

Polymorphisms in ADAM33, the first gene identified in asthma by positional cloning, have been recently associated with psoriasis. No replication study of this association has been published so far. Data available in the French EGEA study (Epidemiological study on Genetics and Environment of Asthma, bronchial hyperresponsivensess and Atopy) give the opportunity to attempt to replicate the associ...
