Association between ABCB1-T1236C Polymorphism and Drug-Resistant Epilepsy in Iranian Female Patients
Background: One third of epileptic patients are resistant to several anti-epileptic drugs (AED). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter encoded by ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene that excludes drugs from the cells and plays a significant role in AEDs resistance. Over-expression of P-gp could be a result of polymorphisms in ABCB1 gene. We studied the association of...
متن کاملDetermination of Haptoglobin Genotype in an Iranian Population with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy
Background: Haptoglobin (Hp) is a plasma α2-sialoglycoprotein that contains alpha and beta chains. It displays in three common phenotypes, Hp1-1, Hp2-1, and Hp2-2. Proteins expressed by polymorphic genes have grossly different molecular sizes resulting in different diffusion rates in the brain. Haptoglobin expressed by the Hp2-2 genotype has lower hemoglobin-binding capacity than Hp1-1 or...

متن کاملO-5: The Influence of Genetic Polymorphism On Idiopathic Male Infertility
Background: Infertility is a multifactorial disorder affecting one in ten couples, and in 50% of infertile couples, the male factor due to deteriorated semen quality is a major cause. In about 30% of infertile men seeking help for their problem, the etiology and pathogenesis are not yet known and their condition is considered idiopathic. Through animal studies conducted recently, hundreds of ge...
متن کاملAssociation of rs737008 in PRM1 and rs4780356 in PRM2 Polymorphisms with Idiopathic Infertility in Iranian men
Aim and Background: Histones are replaced by protamines to package sperm head DNA during mammalian spermatogenesis. Protamine genes variation cause sperm DNA damage and is affect infertility in men. Therefore this study aim was investigation on association of two rs737008 in PRM1 gene and rs4780356 in PRM2 gene polymorphisms with azoospermia and oligospermia in Iranian idiopathic infertile men....
