Sequence variation and haplotype structure at the human HFE locus.
The HFE locus encodes an HLA class-I-type protein important in iron regulation and segregates replacement mutations that give rise to the most common form of genetic hemochromatosis. The high frequency of one disease-associated mutation, C282Y, and the nature of this disease have led some to suggest a selective advantage for this mutation. To investigate the context in which this mutation arose...
متن کاملWorldwide haplotype diversity and coding sequence variation at human bitter taste receptor loci.
Bitter taste perception in humans is mediated by receptors encoded by 25 genes that together comprise the TAS2R (or T2R) gene family. The ability to identify the ligand(s) for each of these receptors is dependent on understanding allelic variation in TAS2R genes, which may have a significant effect on ligand recognition. To investigate the extent of coding variation among TAS2R alleles, we perf...

هدف از انجام این تخقیق بررسی رابطه احتمالی بین سطح مهارت زبان خارجی (foreign language proficiency) و ساختار مهارت زبان خارجی بود. تعداد 314 زبان آموز مونث و مذکر که عمدتا دانشجویان رشته های زبان انگلیسی در سطوح کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد بودند در این تحقیق شرکت کردند. از لحاظ سطح مهارت زبان خارجی شرکت کنندگان بسیار با هم متفاوت بودند، (75 نفر سطح پیشرفته، 113 نفر سطح متوسط، 126 سطح مقدماتی). کلا ...
15 صفحه اولGenetic Variations and Haplotype Diversity of the UGT1 Gene Cluster in the Chinese Population
Vertebrates require tremendous molecular diversity to defend against numerous small hydrophobic chemicals. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are a large family of detoxification enzymes that glucuronidate xenobiotics and endobiotics, facilitating their excretion from the body. The UGT1 gene cluster contains a tandem array of variable first exons, each preceded by a specific promoter, and a co...
متن کاملMolecular Population Genetics of Human CYP3A Locus: Signatures of Positive Selection and Implications for Evolutionary Environmental Medicine
BACKGROUND The human CYP3A gene cluster codes for cytochrome P450 (CYP) subfamily enzymes that catalyze the metabolism of various exogenous and endogenous chemicals and is an obvious candidate for evolutionary and environmental genomic study. Functional variants in the CYP3A locus may have undergone a selective sweep in response to various environmental conditions. OBJECTIVE The goal of this ...
