[PAX-6 gene promoter polymorphism and other factors involved in brain atrophy in alcohol dependent patients].

چکیده
PAX-6 gene promoter polymorphism, alcohol dependence history and CT were determined in the group of 68 alcoholics. We found negative correlation between numbers of PAX-6 gene promoter B (AC)m (AG)n repeats and atrophy of the brain and the cerebellum. Occurrence of these lesions was correlated with a decrease of alcohol tolerance, withdrawal symptoms--especially delirium tremens.

Genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of catalase gene, creates new potential PAX-6 and STAT4 response elements
Catalase (CAT, OMIM: 115500) is an endogenous antioxidant enzyme and genetic variations in the regulatory regions of the CAT gene may alter the CAT enzyme activity and subsequently may alter the risk of oxidative stress related disease. In this study, potential influence(s) of the A-21T (rs7943316) and C-262T (rs1001179) genetic polymorphisms in the CAT promoter region, using the ALGGEN-PROMO.v...
متن کاملP-160: Study of Association between Polymorphism in Estrogen Response Element (ERE) in Promoter Region of C3 Gene and Spontaneous Recurrent Abortion
Background: There are different etiological factors in spontaneous recurrent abortion which are one of the complications in pregnancy. Primary embryo development in uterine tube and oviduct are affected by different factors such as embryotrophic elements. ETF3 as a embryotrophic factor that contains a complex of complement 3 protein and its derivatives specially iC3b, causes embryo trophoblast ...
متن کاملInvestigating the relationship between C-159T polymorphism in CD14 gene promoter and disease severity in 2019 corona virus patients
Introduction: Considering the effectiveness of polymorphisms in the occurrence of respiratory diseases, it seems that these genetic variations in viral and microbial receptors can be effective in the occurrence and progression of the disease. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between the C-159T polymorphism in the CD14 gene promoter and the severity of the disease in Covid-19...
متن کاملAssociation of the -160 C>A Polymorphism in the CDH1 Promoter with Gastric Cancer: A Case-control Study
E-cadherin is a tumor suppressor protein that plays a crucial role in cell-cell adherens junction and tissue architecture and it is hypothesized to participate in carcinogenesis. It has been shown that a polymorphism in the upstream of the transcription start site of the CDH1 gene affects E-cadherin transcriptional regulation and seems to be associated with a variety of cancers. For the first t...
متن کاملCytokine Gene Polymorphism in BCG Lymphadenopathy
Background: Tumor necrosis factor-beta or lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-α), IL-4 and IL-10 are determining factors in immunity against BCG. Allelic polymorphisms in the regulatory regions of their genes affect the rate of cytokine production and therefore, the host’s ability in BCG containment. Objective: To study the prevalence of –590 (C/T) and –592 (C/A) allelic distribution of IL-4 and IL-10 promo...
