[ 1 ] - Evaluation of prodynorphin gene polymorphisms and their association with heroin addiction in a sample of the southeast Iranian population
Genetic factors are supposed to account for about 30-50% of the predisposition to cocaine and heroin addiction. This study aims at investigating the effect of rs2281285, rs2235749, rs910080 and 68bp VNTR polymorphisms of prodynorphin (PDYN) gene on heroin dependence risk in a sample of the southeast Iranian population. This case-control study was done on 216 heroin dependence subjects and 219 h...
[ 2 ] - Evaluation of VNTR polymorphisms of dopamine transporter gene and the risk of bipolar disorder in Zahedan, southeast Iran
The exact role of dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder type 1 (BD) is not understood. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the possible association between 30, 40 and 63 bp variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms of DAT1 gene and the risk of type 1 (BD) in a sample of Iranian population. This case-control study was performed on 152 BD patient...
[ 3 ] - Assocition between LAPTM4B gene polymorphism and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Introduction: Evidence suggests that Lysosome associated protein transmembrane 4B (LAPTM4B) contributes to the risk of numerous cancers. The present study aimed to find out the impact of LAPTM4B polymorphism on the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the southeastern Iranian population. Materials and Methods: A total of 230 subjects including 110 children diagnosed with ALL ...
