چکیده

The discussion of the prospects of using a dense map of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify disease genes with association analysis has been extensive. However, there is little empiric evidence to support this strategy. To begin to examine the practical issues surrounding this methodology, we identified 10 SNPs in the region immediately surrounding the apolipoprotein E locus (APOE), an established susceptibility gene for Alzheimer disease. Our goal was to examine patterns of allelic association to begin to investigate the question of whether APOE could have been identified using SNPs. Our strongest evidence of association was at the 2 SNPs immediately flanking APOE.

In-silico study to identify the pathogenic single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of CDKN2A gene

Background: CDKN2A, encoding two important tumor suppressor proteins p16 and p14, is a tumor suppressor gene. Mutations in this gene and subsequently the defect in p16 and p14 proteins lead to the downregulation of RB1/p53 and cancer malignancy. To identify the structural and functional effects of mutations, various powerful bioinformatics tools are available. The aim of this study is the ident...

Single strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCPs) in the 5'- flanking region of Lactoferrin gene and its association with milk production traits and somatic cell score in Holstein cattle

Lactoferrin (Lf) is a bioactive protein present in all external secretions such as milk that plays important role in the innate host defense. Therefore, the Lf has a major role in bovine mammary gland defense during mastitis. In this study, 5’-flanking region of bovine Lf gene containing three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at positions −602 (T/G), −600 (A/G) ...
