Association of mastocytosis with interleukin 31 gene polymorphism

Association of mastocytosis with interleukin 31 gene polymorphism

Mastocytosis is a rare disease characterized by activating KIT mutations and clonal expansion of mast cells (MCs) in tissues, particularly in skin and bone marrow. Symptoms of mastocytosis always correlate with the extent of MC infiltration and include urticaria pigmentosa, anaphylaxis, flushing, headache, diarrhea, osteoporosis and pruritus. Interleukin 31 (IL-31) is a new recently identified ...

The association of interleukin-13 gene polymorphism withkala-azar patients

Background& Objective: Host resistance towards Leishmania infection is mediated by cellular immune responses leading to macrophage activation and parasite killing. According to the important role of IL-13 in the defense against visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and the known effect of the IL-13 gene polymorphisms on its production, the aim of this study was to investigate the probable relationship be...

the study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

Association of interleukin-1 gene polymorphism with risk of gastric and colorectal cancers in an Iranian population

Association between Interleukin 31 Receptor A Gene Polymorphism and Schizophrenia in Korean Population.

Recently, Sun et al (2008) reported that the IL6R polymorphism is associated with schizophrenia. Therefore, to detect the association between polymorphisms of interleukin 31 receptor A (IL31RA) and schizophrenia, we genotyped 9 SNPs [rs9292101 (intron 1), rs1009639 (exon 2, Pro43Pro), rs2161582 (intron 2), rs68761890 (intron 5), rs16884629 (intron 6), rs11956465 (intron 12), rs12153724 (intron ...
