Association of ADAM33 gene polymorphisms with allergic asthma
Objective(s): Asthma results from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. ADAM33 gene on chromosome 20p13 is associated with asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness. Materials and Methods: This is a case-control study, where four SNPs S1 (rs3918396), T1 (rs2280091), T2 (rs2280090), V4 (rs2787094) of ADAM33 gene have been assessed in patients with allergic asthma and normal con...
متن کاملInferring causality and functional significance of human coding DNA variants.
Sequencing technology enables the complete characterization of human genetic variation. Statistical genetics studies identify numerous loci linked to or associated with phenotypes of direct medical interest. The major remaining challenge is to characterize functionally significant alleles that are causally implicated in the genetic basis of human traits. Here, I review three sources of evidence...
متن کاملEugenics and Ethical Considerations Regarding the Violation of Justice
It is clear that technologies related to medicine and genetics, especially genetic engineering and eugenics, have grown significantly in recent decades. These advances have led to prevention of abnormalities and treatment of diseases. However, it seems the use of genetic engineering and eugenics and the possibility of irresponsible and profitable use of these technologies it's worrying. Hence, ...
متن کاملGenetic etiology of Asthenozoospermia: A review
Background: Asthenozoospermia, as the most prevalent cause of male infertility, is defined as low percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa per ejaculate. It occurs in both non-syndromic and syndromic forms and later it manifests as a part of primary ciliary dyskinesia. In the last decade, with the advent of Next-generation sequencing technologies numerous genes have been introduced in the...
متن کاملFunctional Surface Display of Laccase in a Phenol-Inducible Bacterial Circuit for Bioremediation Purposes
Background: Phenolic compounds, which are produced routinely by industrial and urban activities, possess dangers to live organisms and environment. Laccases are oxidoreductase enzymes with the ability of remediating a wide variety of phenolic compounds to more benign molecules. The purpose of the present research is surface display of a laccase enzyme with adhesin involved in diffuse adhesion (...
