Gene Determinants and Perinatal Growth Phenotype
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fetal growth is determined by many factors. These include genes, maternal nutrient supply, placental transport function, nutrient concentration gradient between maternal and fetal blood, placental blood flow, etc. Among these factors, gene determinants play an important role. Their mutation and expression are related to the perinatal growth phenotype [1-5]. In this review, perinatal growth phenotype will focus on growth and development from intrauterine pregnancy to the neonatal period after birth.

Primary root growth, tissue expression and co-expression analysis of a receptor kinase mutant in Arabidopsis
There is no functional annotation for the majority of the several hundreds of receptor-like kinases in plants. A direct way of inferring the function of these proteins is to study the phenotype that results from loss of function mutants such as T-DNA mutant lines. In this research a function (phenotype) to At2g37050 gene that encodes a receptor like kinase in Arabidopsis T-DNA line was...
متن کاملThe Effect of Wild Type P53 Gene Transfer on Growth Properties and Tumorigenicity of PANC-1 Tumor Cell Line
The p53 protein function is essential for the maintenance of the nontumorigenic cell phenotype. Pancreatic tumor cells show a very high frequency of p53 mutation. To determine if restoration of wild type p53 function can be used to eliminate the tumorigenic phenotype in these cells, pancreatic tumor cell lines, PANC-1 and HTB80, differing in p53 status were stably transfected with exogenous wil...

Background and Aims: Shigellosis is an acute gastroenteritis and Invasion plasmid antigen C (IpaC) is the first effector protein for Shigella invasion of intestinal cells. Among lactic acid bacteria, Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis) has received increasing attention for protection of a potential host against gastrointestinal infections. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory ...

Myostatin is a growth factor belonging to the TGFß superfamily. TGFß growth factors are active in the regulation of embryonic development and in tissue homeostasis in adults. Myostatin is a growth factor controlling proliferation of myoblasts in embryonic development. Mutations in coding sequences of the bovine myostatin (GDF8) gene lead to muscle hyperplasia suggesting its inhibitory function ...

From July 1998 to November 1999 we have followed up 15712 deliveries (12044 vaginal and 3668 cesarean section) in our hospital. Among these, 182 cases were primarily diagnosed as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and 248 pregnancies were complicated with hypertensive disorders. In these two groups we have investigated the outcome of the neonates. Neonatal weight under the 10th percent...
