Toll Like Receptor-4 896A/G Gene Variation, a Risk Factor for Migraine Headaches
Background: The pathogenesis of migraine involves immune-mediated mechanisms in the vascular endothelium. Toll like receptor 4 (TLR-4) is a signaling receptor of innate immunity which plays a role in various neuropathologies related to neuron inflammation. Objective: This case/control study is aimed to investigate whether TLR- 4 896A/G variation is related to migraine headaches in an Iranian po...
متن کاملAllelic Variation and Haplotype Structure of the Dopamine Receptor Gene DRD2 in Naga Tribes of Manipur, India
The present study investigates the extent of genetic affinities and to trace their evolutionary history among the three Naga tribal groups of Manipur. Three DRD2 markers were screened among 200 individuals belonging to different Naga tribal (Rongmei=60, Inpui= 78, and Liangmai=62) groups using three sites (TaqI B, TaqID, and TaqIA) on the dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene through allele and hapl...
متن کاملParental control and the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) interaction on emotional eating in adolescence.
The present study addresses the emergence of emotional eating in adolescence in relation to maternal or paternal psychological control. A reduction of food intake is considered the biological natural response to distress, therefore we tested whether the a-typical stress response of emotional eating develops in interaction with genetic vulnerability. Carrying the A1 allele of the dopamine D2 rec...
متن کاملFamily-based study of the association of the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) with habitual smoking.
A recent study showed an association between the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) and smoking. The purpose of this study was to determine if the familial transmission of smoking is linked to variation at the DRD2 locus in a genetically informative sample. Subjects were identified in alcohol treatment centers and their relatives were recruited for study. All subjects were interviewed to assess a...
متن کاملPolymorphisms of the dopamine receptor gene DRD2 and colorectal cancer risk.
Sporadic colorectal cancer is considered a multifactorial disease in which multiple exposures interact with the individual genetic background resulting in risk modulation. Recent experimental data suggest a role of dopamine and dopamine receptors in the control of proliferation of the cells of colon and gastrointestinal tract. To investigate whether polymorphisms within dopamine receptors genes...
