چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولPolymorphisms in the non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9) are strongly associated with end-stage renal disease historically attributed to hypertension in African Americans.
African Americans have high incidence rates of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) labeled as due to hypertension. As recent studies showed strong association with idiopathic and HIV-related focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) gene polymorphisms in this ethnic group, we tested for MYH9 associations in a variety of kidney diseases. Fifteen MYH9 single-nucleot...
متن کاملVariants in the plasmacytoma variant translocation gene (PVT1) are associated with end-stage renal disease attributed to type 1 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE End-stage renal disease (ESRD) attributed to diabetes is strongly dependent on genetic factors. We previously reported association between variants in the plasmacytoma variant translocation gene (PVT1) and ESRD attributed to type 2 diabetes in Pima Indians. The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent to which these variants mediate susceptibility in other populations. RES...
متن کاملDouble nucleotidic mutation of the MYH9 gene in a young patient with end-stage renal disease.
Alport’s syndrome, a renal disorder with inherited transmission, is characterized by ultrastructural changes of glomerular basement membrane and basement membranes elsewhere. A progressive haematuric nephritis, sensorineural hearing loss and familial occurrence in successive generations are typical of this disorder. X-linked dominant inheritance is quite frequent (85–90% of the families) [1]. A...
متن کاملVariation in APOL1 gene may contribute to high rates of kidney disease in African Americans.
Study Hypothesis African Americans have much higher rates of kidney failure than those of European ancestry. Previous genetic studies found variation at or near the MYH9 gene to be associated with increased risk of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and hypertension-attributed end-stage kidney disease (H-ESKD), but the causal mutations in MYH9 were not identified. The authors hypothesize...
