the possible association between constitutive heterochromatin polymorphism and human leukemias

چکیده

objective: polymorphism of the size of heterochromatin region of chromosomes has been well documented in human genome and it consists of dna sequences that are not transcribed. the prime aim of the present study was to evaluate the heterochromatin polymorphism associated with chromosomes in leukemic patients. materials and methods: the study was conducted on 35 consecutive leukemic patients and 34 healthy individuals in modaress and taleghani hospitals, tehran, iran between 2004-2006. by applying barium hydroxide saline giemsa (bsc) method with certain alterations, the variant heterochromatin polymorphism of chromosomes 1, 9 and 16 on bone marrow and peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures were evaluated. chi-square and fisher’s exact tests were used for statistical analysis with spss software. results: constitutive heterochromatin polymorphism of chromosomes 1 and 9 in leukemic patients revealed statistical significant differences when compared with chromosomes of healthy controls (p=0.0005) and (p=0.006) respectively. the differences were not significant for chromosome 16, it was 11.4% in leukemic patients and 0% in the control group (p=0.05). the frequency of partial and complete inversions did not show any significant differences between the leukemic patients and the control group. conclusion: the constitutive heterochromatin polymorphism blocks may provide an opportunity to serve as a marker for the detection and characterization of the chromosomes in leukemic patients.

Association Between the Glu298Asp Polymorphism in the Endothelial Constitutive Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene and Brain Infarction

Background and Purpose—Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by endothelial constitutive NO synthase (ecNOS) plays a key role in vascular regulation and atherosclerosis. Little is known concerning the role of the ecNOS gene (NOS3) as a risk factor for brain infarction (BI). Our aim was to investigate the relation between the Glu298Asp polymorphism in exon 7 of NOS3 with BI and its subtypes. Methods—Pat...

Association between the A1298C Polymorphism of the Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene and Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Introduction: A factor known to cause thrombophilia in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is the A1298C polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR). This study aimed to determine the association between RPL and this polymorphism in Iranian patients. Methods: In this case-control study, 30 patients with a previous history of two or more consecutive unexplained abortio...
