the l-selectin phe206leu gene polymorphism is not associated with visceral leishmaniasis

The L-selectin Phe206Leu gene polymorphism is not associated with visceral leishmaniasis.

BACKGROUND Previous studies revealed that selectins play key roles in homing of immune cells to inflamed tissues and lymphatic organs. L-selectins are expressed on immune cells and interact with P and E selectins to homing to the tissues, hence, the polymorphisms within the gene of L-selectins may are associated with alteration in its expression. Thus, the current cross-sectional analytical stu...

is the polymorphism at position -1082 of il-10 gene associated with visceral leishmaniasis?

immune responses play critical roles in the leishmaniasis eradication. il-10 is a key regulator of immune responses, and the polymorphisms within its promoter region are associated with alteration in its expression. therefore, this study was designed to examine the correlation between polymorphism at the -1082 position of the il-10 gene and visceral leishmaniasis (vl).the il-10 -1082 polymorphi...

Is the Polymorphism at Position -1082 of IL-10 Gene Associated with Visceral Leishmaniasis?

BACKGROUND Immune responses play critical roles in the leishmaniasis eradication. IL-10 is a key regulator of immune responses, and the polymorphisms within its promoter region are associated with alteration in its expression. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the correlation between polymorphism at the -1082 position of the IL-10 gene and visceral leishmaniasis (VL). METHODS The ...

The Thr715Pro polymorphism of the P-selectin gene is not associated with ischemic stroke risk.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A Thr>Pro polymorphism at codon 715 in the coding region of the P-selectin gene has recently been described. Individuals carrying the Pro715 allele were reported to have a reduced risk of myocardial infarction. A possible association of this polymorphism with the risk of ischemic stroke is currently under discussion. METHODS We investigated the prevalence of the 715 Thr...

The 763C>G Polymorphism of The Secretory PLA2IIa Gene Is Associated with Endometriosis in Iranian Women

The Single Nucleotide Polymorphism rs2305957 is not Associated with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

This study was conducted in order to investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2305957 G/A and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in a group of Palestinian women residing in Gaza strip. A retrospective case-control study was carried out during the period of May to August 2015. A total of 380 females including 190 recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) patients and 190 c...
