Maternal Betaine Homocysteine Methyltransferase Gene Polymorphism as a Risk Factor for Trisomy
Disorder in re-methylation process of homocysteine to methionine due to mutation in betaine homocysteine methyltransferase enzyme (BHMT) coding gene, leads to decrease in S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) synthesis which takes part in DNA methylation as a methyl donor. As a result, it can promote hypo-methylation of DNA, chromosome instability, and chromosome missegregation, which in turn is one of t...
متن کاملHypoadiponectinemia as a risk factor for atherosclerosis?
Hypoadiponectinemia as a Risk Factor for Atherosclerosis? To the Editor: We want to comment on and complete the cited references of the article by Iglseder et al1 that demonstrated an independent negative association between adiponectin levels and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). With reference to this, our group also found an inverse and independent correlation between adiponectin and car...
متن کاملSerum lipoprotein (a) as an atherosclerosis risk factor in men with androgenic alopecia
Background: The association between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but few studies have focused on the mechanism of this association. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile in male pattern alopecia.Methods: In this case control study, 45 male patients with androgenic alopecia who were aged from 20 to 50 years and 45 men with a norma...
متن کاملHomocysteine--risk factor for ischemic stroke?
The present study was undertaken to compare the homocysteine levels in patients of ischemic stroke with controls. Our study included 117 patients of ischemic stroke and 101 controls. The mean homocysteine levels in patients with ischemic stroke were 16.80 +/- 6.71 micromol/L while in controls it was 12.30 +/- 4.68 micromol/L, the difference being statistically significant (P < 0.01). The increa...
متن کاملEvaluation of Homocysteine Level as a Risk Factor among Patients with Ischemic Stroke and Its Subtypes
Background: Epidemiological research has shown that increased total homocysteine (tHcy) levels are associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic disease; however, controversy still exists over which subtype of stroke is allied to hyperhomocysteinemia. This study aimed to investigate whether elevated tHcy is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and to compare tHcy levels in patie...
