Rare coding TTN variants are associated with electrocardiographic QT interval in the general population
We have shown previously that noncoding variants mapping around a specific set of 170 genes encoding cardiomyocyte intercalated disc (ID) proteins are more enriched for associations with QT interval than observed for genome-wide comparisons. At a false discovery rate (FDR) of 5%, we had identified 28 such ID protein-encoding genes. Here, we assessed whether coding variants at these 28 genes aff...
متن کاملEditorials Diagnosing airflow obstruction in general practice
A decade ago several research studies highlighted the underdiagnosis of asthma, particularly in children 1–3 but also in the elderly, 4 5 and most general practitioners felt an increased pressure on them to diagnose this common chronic respiratory disorder. It was implied that asthma should be considered whenever a patient presented with a persistent cough and that far more people " deserved " ...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Novel Genetic Variants Associated to Anaplasma ovis among Dromedary Camels in Iran
To the best of our knowledge, little information is available regarding the presence of Anaplasma species in camels in Iran. This study sought to investigate the presence of Anaplasma species by microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays in 100 healthy dromedaries (Camelus dromedarius) arriving for slaughter. The microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood films revealed that Ana...
متن کاملParameters associated with persistent airflow obstruction in chronic severe asthma.
The significance of severe airflow obstruction in severe asthma is unclear. The current study determined whether severe airflow obstruction is related to inflammatory or structural changes in the airways. Patients with severe asthma from a tertiary referral clinic were divided into two groups according to their postbronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1): severe persistent ...
متن کاملNecrotizing tracheobronchitis with progressive airflow obstruction associated with paraneoplastic pemphigus.
Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is an autoimmune disease associated with leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A patient with stage IVB poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma developed characteristic upper and lower airway involvement with profound mucocutaneous erosion and tracheobronchial epithelial desquamation. Immunofluorescence testing confirmed autoantibody deposition along the basemen...
