Implication of Genetic Factors in Osteoporosis Susceptibility IMPLICATION OF GENETIC FACTORS IN OSTEOPOROSIS SUSCEPTIBILITY
Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and deterioration of bone architecture. Genetic factors are determinants of peak bone mass and may influence age-related decreases of bone mass. WHO has established an operational criterion based on bone density measuring, the T-score. 122 cases were studied, 51 diagnosed with primary osteoporosis. Mean age was 57...
متن کاملGenetic regulation of bone mass and susceptibility to osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterized by reduced bone mass and increased risk of fragility fractures. Twin and family studies have shown that the heritability of bone mineral density (BMD) and other determinants of fracture risk-such as ultrasound properties of bone, skeletal geometry, and bone turnover-is high, although heritability of fracture is modes...
متن کاملGenetic Susceptibility to Transient and Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare kind of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia and low levels of insulin. Clinically, it is categorized into two main types: transient NDM (TNDM) and permanent NDM (PNDM). These types are diagnosed based on duration of insulin dependence early in the disease. In TNDM, diabetes begins in the first few weeks of life with remission in a few months. Howev...
متن کاملGenetic control of susceptibility of rats to gastric carcinoma.
Genetic control of the induction of gastric tumors by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was studied in susceptible ACI rats, resistant Buffalo rats, and their F1 and F2 offspring. Both sexes of all strains, initially 7 to 9 weeks old, were given MNNG at a concentration of 83 micrograms/ml in their drinking water for 32 weeks and were sacrificed at experimental Week 72. The incidence o...
متن کاملCD38 gene polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Introduction: CLL is one of the most common leukemias, which is categorized by the accumulation of mature CD5+ B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, and secondary lymphoid organs. In this study, the status of rs6449182 polymorphism of the CD38 gene and its association with clinical and laboratory parameters of CLL patients was evaluated. Methods: Genomic DNA extraction was perfor...
