phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran
in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Developing Genetic Epidemiological Models to Predict Risk for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in High-Risk Population of China
To date, the only established model for assessing risk for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) relies on the sero-status of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). By contrast, the risk assessment models proposed here include environmental risk factors, family history of NPC, and information on genetic variants. The models were developed using epidemiological and genetic data from a large case-control study, ...
متن کاملCigarette Experimentation and the Population Attributable Fraction for Associated Genetic and Non-Genetic Risk Factors
BACKGROUND We, and others, have shown that experimenting with cigarettes is a function of both non-genetic and genetic factors. In this analysis we ask: how much of the total risk of experimenting with cigarettes, among those who had not experimented with cigarettes when they enrolled in a prospective cohort, is attributable to genetic factors and to non-genetic factors? METHODS Participants ...
متن کاملAssociation between genetic polymorphisms of CYP2A13, CYP2A6 and risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in southern Chinese population
Background: Cytochrome P450 2A13 (CYP2A13) and 2A6 (CYP2A6) are enzymes expressed in the human respiratory tract, exhibit high efficiency in the metabolic activation of tobacco carcinogen 4(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK). A C→T transition in the CYP2A13 gene causes Arg257Cys amino acid substitution and a deletion of the CYP2A6 gene named as CYP2A6 *4, both of them result in a...
متن کاملEnvironmental, genetic and viral risk factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in North Africa
NPC (Nasopharyngeal carcinoma) is a tumour that arises in the epithelium surface of the posterior nasopharynx and shows a peculiar geographic and ethnic distribution. Intermediate incidence (8-12 cases/100,000/ year) was reported in the North African population (710% of all cancers among men), where NPC is also the commonest tumour of the ear, nose and throat region. In Asia, the majority of th...
