Single-nucleotide polymorphisms for diagnosis of salt-sensitive hypertension.
BACKGROUND Salt-sensitive (SS) hypertension affects >30 million Americans and is often associated with low plasma renin activity. We tested the diagnostic validity of several candidate genes for SS and low-renin hypertension. METHODS In Japanese patients with newly diagnosed, untreated hypertension (n = 184), we studied polymorphisms in 10 genes, including G protein-coupled receptor kinase ty...
متن کاملIndirect Molecular Diagnosis of Congenital Factor ΧІІІ Deficiency by Candidate Microsatellites and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
Background: Congenital factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is one of the rarest bleeding disorders with a prevalence of one per 2 million in the general population. The disorder is accompanied by a high rate of life-threatening bleeding. Due to normal results of routine coagulation tests, diagnosis of the disorder is challenging, but molecular methods can be used for precise diagnosis. Direct mutati...
متن کاملIn silico analysis for determining the deleterious nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms of BRCA genes
Recent advances in DNA sequencing techniques have led to an increase in the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, but no further information regarding the deleterious probability of many of them is available (Variants of Unknown Significance/VUS). As a result, in the current study, different sequence- and structure-based computation...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Association Studies: A Few Critical Points
Uncovering DNA sequence variations that correlate with phenotypic changes, e.g., diseases, is the aim of sequence variation studies. Common types sequence variations are Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip).SNPs are the third-generation molecular marker. SNP represents a DNA sequence variant of a single base pair with the minor allele occurring in more than 1% of a given popula...
متن کاملSalt-sensitive hypertension: food for thought.
E pidemiological studies demonstrating an increase in cardiovascular disease in adult children born of women who suffered nutritional privation during World War II led to many subsequent studies, demonstrating that diverse conditions leading to intrauterine growth retardation had similar effects on cardiovascular disease including hypertension. 1 Relatively mild maternal protein deficiency lead...
