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...
15 صفحه اولAnalysis of HLA-G Gene Expression in B-Lymphocytes from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients
The human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) molecule exhibits limited tissue distribution, low polymorphism and alternative splicings that generate seven HLA-G isoforms. HLA-G exerts multiple immunoregulatory functions. Recent studies indicate an ectopic up-regulation in tumor cells that may favor their escape from anti-tumor immune responses. This study it is an effort to clarify the presence of HLA...
متن کاملGene dosage and the evolution of gene expression
In many diploid species, sex determination is linked to a pair of sex chromosomes that evolved from a pair of autosomes. In theseorganisms, thedegenerationof thesex-limitedYorWchromosomecausesa reduction ingenedose in theheterogametic sex forX-orZ-linked genes. Variations in gene dose are detrimental for large chromosomal regions when they span dosage-sensitive genes, andmany organi...
متن کاملCTLA4 Gene Variants in Autoimmunity and Cancer: a Comparative Review
Gene association studies are less appealing in cancer compared to autoimmune diseases. Complexity, heterogeneity, variation in histological types, age at onset, short survival, and acute versus chronic conditions are cancer related factors which are different from an organ specific autoimmune disease, such as Grave’s disease, on which a large body of multicentre data is accumulated. For years t...
متن کاملThe ribosomal RNA gene cluster in aneuploid chickens: evidence for increased gene dosage and regulation of gene expression
In the chicken, the nucleolus organizer regions, or sites of the genes encoding 18S, 5.8S, and 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), map to one pair of microchromosomes that can be identified by silver nitrate cytochemistry. This nucleolar organizer chromosome also contains the major histocompatibility complex. Chickens aneuploid for this chromosome have been identified and reproduced for over seven genera...
