Genetic Variation at the FTO Locus Influences RBL2 Gene Expression
OBJECTIVE Genome-wide association studies that compare the statistical association between thousands of DNA variations and a human trait have detected 958 loci across 127 different diseases and traits. However, these statistical associations only provide evidence for genomic regions likely to harbor a causal gene(s) and do not directly identify such genes. We combined gene variation and express...
متن کاملAssociations of the variation in the porcine myogenin gene with muscle fibre characteristics, lean meat production and meat quality traits.
Pig breeding is aimed at improving lean meat production ability as well as meat quality, and muscle fibre characteristics may be important for enhancing these traits. Therefore, new molecular markers have been demanded for selecting lean meat production ability and meat quality in live animals. Myogenin belongs to the MyoD gene family, and is a candidate gene responsible for muscle fibre charac...
متن کاملStromal Cell Derived Factor-1 Genetic Variation at Locus 801 in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis
Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is the most common disorder of neuromuscular junction in which autoantibodies develop against nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for unknown reasons. The association of immunomodulator genes with different autoimmune disease has been studied in recent years. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate correlation between a genetic variation in Stromal Ce...
متن کاملGenetic Variation of Choline Dehydrogenase Gene in Idiopathic Male Infertility
Infertility can be caused by an unexplained reduction in semen quality in males who present asnormal on physical examination and endocrine testing. There is some evidence that aberrantmetabolism of micronutrients such as choline may play a causative role in male factorinfertility. Choline is a crucial factor in the regulation of sperm membrane structure andmotility, and this nutrient plays an i...
متن کاملA novel polymorphism in exon 1 of the porcine myogenin gene.
Myogenin is a gene belonging to the MyoD family, which codes for the bHLH transcription factor playing a key role in myogenesis. It affects the processes of differentiation and maturation of myotubes during embryogenesis. Fragments of the porcine myogenin coding sequence and promoter region were amplified and subjected to MSSCP analysis. T-->C transition recognised by the MaeIII restriction enz...
