Genetic Susceptibility to Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a complex multifocal arterial disease involving interactions of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Advances in techniques of molecular genetics have revealed that genetic ground significantly influences susceptibility to atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Besides further investigations of monogenetic diseases, candidate genes, genetic polymorphisms, and susceptibilit...
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to atherosclerosis: insights from mice.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) frequently clusters in families. Although environmental factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking play a role in ASCVD, genetic factors are a major determinant of ASCVD risk. For example, in a study of Swedish twins, males with a dizygotic twin who died of premature coronary heart disease had a 4.3-fold increased risk of also dying from coronary ...
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility and resistance to diet-induced atherosclerosis and hyperlipoproteinemia.
To test the hypothesis that genetic susceptibility or resistance to diet-induced atherosclerosis is correlated with serum levels of specific lipids, lipoproteins, or apoproteins, male mice of a genetically susceptible and a genetically resistant strain were fed either a normal or an atherogenic diet. After 20 weeks on a normal diet, neither the resistant nor the susceptible strain mice had athe...
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 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...
