چکیده
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we have investigated the genetic status of CTSC gene in a HMS subject, who along with her parents belonged to non-Jewish South Indian Dravidian community. MATERIALS AND METHODS Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid isolated from the peripheral blood of the subject was amplified with CTSC exon specific primers and were analyzed by direct sequencing. RESULTS Sequencing analysis identified Ile453Val mutation within exon 7 of CTSC gene in heterozygous condition, and two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within intron 2 and 5 in homozygous condition. CONCLUSION The present study has identified for the first time the association of Ile453Val mutation within exon 7 and the two SNPs in a subject with HMS.

The bovine leptin (LEP) gene was widely used as a candidate gene for molecular selection to improve productivity traits of cattle. This study was carried out to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LEP gene of Sumba Ongole (SO, Bos indicus) cows using sequencing method. A total of 31 animals were used in this study for analyses. Research showed that total of 16 SNPs w...

Abstract Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in some genes which are involving in sperm maturation, are considered as one of the main reason for male infertility. Any changes in protamine genes may cause abnormal histone-protamine replacement during spermiogenesis and have been indicated to cause sperm DNA damage and infertility. Objective: The aim of present case-control study w...

Haim Munk Syndrome (HMS) is the allelic mutation of exon 6 codon in cathepsin C gene. Here, we present two cases of same family with HMS having all the cardinal features of HMS which includes palmo plantar keratoderma and periodontitis along with arachnodactyly, acroosteolysis, onychogryphosis, and marked osteopenia on hand wrist radiographs. Both the siblings were treated with cotrimoxazole, a...

Background: Metformin is an insulin sensitizing drug, which is co-administered with Clominophene citrate or gonadotropins in most cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), to improve ovulation. STK11 gene is necessary for action of metformin. Therefore the study of STK11 polymorphisms is important as pharmacogenetics aspects of metformin. The aim of our study was to investigate polymorphism of...

Of the many palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) conditions, only Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) and Haim-Munk syndrome (HMS) are associated with premature periodontal destruction. Although both PLS and HMS share the cardinal features of PPK and severe periodontitis, a number of additional findings are reported in HMS including arachnodactyly, acro-osteolysis, atrophic changes of the nails, and a ra...
