RETN Gene Polymorphisms as Risk Factor in Diabetic Patients with Covid-19 Infection
People with diabetes mellitus (DM) represent a population group that is at high risk of developing a poor prognosis for COVID-19. Having diabetes increases the risk of serious illness, ICU stay, and death from COVID-19. The current study included 150 participants with diabetes, 100 patients of whom had COVID-19 (46 male, 54 female), and 50 had diabetes only (28 male, 22 female), aged between 37...
متن کاملComparing Serum Levels of Autophagy-Related Gene 5 in People With and Without Helicobacter Pylori Infection
Background: Laboratory studies have shown that gastric epithelial infection cells with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) can increase autophagy. Disruption in this process can cause various diseases, including cancer. Objective: This study aims to compare the serum level of Autophag -Related Gene 5 (ATG5) in individuals with and without H. pylori infection. Methods: This case-control pilot stud...
متن کاملThe frequency of HHV-8 infection in otherwise healthy blood donors as well as renal allograft recipients living in Iran.
BACKGROUND Different reports from Middle East countries demonstrated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in transplant population. This vascular malignancy occurs mostly among immunocompromised individuals. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) appears to be the causative factor for the development of this neoplasm. Transplant programs are concerned about the frequencies of HHV-8 infection either in general population...
متن کاملADAM33 gene polymorphisms in Southwestern Iranian patients with asthma
Objective(s): Asthma, the most frequent chronic respiratory disease, results from a complex interaction between multiple genes and environmental factors. To date, more than 100 candidate genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to be associated with asthma. One of the discovered genes related to asthma is ADAM33. However, the relationship between ADAM33 gene polymorph...
متن کاملHHV-8 infection in patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma in Brazil.
The aims of the present study were to determine the prevalence of human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8) in HIV-positive Brazilian patients with (HIV+/KS+) and without Kaposi's sarcoma (HIV+/KS-) using PCR and immunofluorescence assays, to assess its association with KS disease, to evaluate the performance of these tests in detecting HHV-8 infection, and to investigate the association between anti-HH...
