Cytokine gene polymorphisms and development of CAD associated with CP infection

Cytokine gene polymorphisms and development of CAD associated with CP infection.

Cytokine gene polymorphisms associated with symptomatic parvovirus B19 infection.

BACKGROUND The immune system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of certain clinical manifestations of parvovirus B19 infection, including rash and arthralgia. Cytokines feature in the pathogenesis of parvovirus B19 infection, so inherited variability in cytokine responses to B19 infection might have a bearing on the symptomatology of parvovirus B19 infection. AIMS To investigate the poss...

Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Beta-Thalassemia Major

Background: β-thalassemia as a hereditary disease is defined as defective synthesis of   β-globin chains, resulting in erythropoiesis abnormalities and severe anemia. Different studies have shown that cytokines and cytokine gene polymorphisms play a major role in the pathogenesis of   β-thalassemia. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the promoter region or other regulatory sequences ...

association of cytokine gene polymorphisms with bronchial asthma in macedonians

bronchial asthma is a multifactorial disease whereby both environmental and genetic factors contribute to its aetiology and/or clinical severity. the aim of this study was to examine the association of 22 cytokine gene polymorphism in the macedonian population with bronchial asthma (ba). the sample of the population comprised of 301 normal unrelated individuals and 74 patients with ba. cytokine...

association of cytokine gene polymorphisms with chronic obstructive

the aim of this study was to examine the association of 22 cytokine gene polymorphism in macedonians with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). the sample of the population comprised of 301 normal respondents and 62 patients with copd. cytokine genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific priming (pcr-ssp). positive (susceptible) association was found bet...
