Urokinase gene 3’-UTR T/C polymorphism is not associated with bladder cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urokinase degrades basement proteins and is hypothesized to play a role in cancer progression. We investigated the hypothesis of C/T polymorphism in the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR) of the urokinase gene being associated with the development of bladder cancer. Such an association seems unlikely, since the genotype distributions in 114 bladder cancer patients did not differ from those of 105 controls.

Association of Polymorphism at 3׳-UTR of Urokinase Gene with Risk of Calcium Kidney Stones
Urokinase might play a role in the formation of kidney stones. This study was done to determine the association between +4065 T/C polymorphism at the 3′-untranslated region of urokinase gene and calcium kidney stones. This Case-Control study was carried out on 70 cases with a history of calcium kidney stones and 70 controls from the Baqiyatallah hospital of Tehran in 2013. The study of polymorp...
متن کاملGenetic Variation in DROSHA 3’UTR Regulated by hsa-miR-27b Is Associated with Bladder Cancer Risk
PURPOSE miRNAs can regulate the biological processes, including differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. DICER and DROSHA are two members of RNase III family, playing pivotal roles in the pathway of miRNAs biogenesis. In this study, we hypothesized that genetic variations of the DICER and DROSHA genes were associated with the bladder cancer risk. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed a case-c...

Introduction: Single nucleotide polymorphisms result in dysregulation of the proto-oncogene TCF3 gene, which is associated with the development, metastasis, and chemoresistance of different malignancies. Methods: GSE10810 microarray dataset and GEPIA2 online software were used to find differentially expressed genes and the TCF3 status in breast cancer (BC) and gastric cancer (GC), respectively....

The purpose of the study was to detect the AluI and DdeI polymorphisms within POU1F1 gene exon 6 and 3'UTR region in Turkish sheep breeds, and their association with milk productive traits. Jugular blood samples were collected from 50 Sakiz, 50 White Karaman, and 50 Awassi sheep using EDTA as an anticoagulant. PCR-RFLP and sequencing analysis were performed to investigate possible polymorphisms...
