[ 1 ] - Association of CpG-SNP and 3\'UTR-SNP of WFS1 with the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in an Iranian Population
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common multifactorial disorders in Iran. Recent genome wide association studies (GWASs), and functional studies have suggested that WFS1 may predispose individuals to T2DM. However, to date, the possible association of such variants with T2DM in Iranians remained unknown. Here, we investigated the association of the two polymorphisms of WFS1 (r...
[ 2 ] - Novel Mutations in TACSTD2 Gene in Families with Gelatinous Drop-like Corneal Dystrophy (GDLD)
In the current study, we conducted a mutation screening of tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2) gene in six consanguineous Iranian families with gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDLD), in order to find the causative mutations. Detailed eye examination was performed by ophthalmologist to confirm GDLD in patients. To detect the possible mutations, direct Sanger sequencing...
[ 3 ] - Prenatal Diagnosis of Mosaic Tetrasomy 18p in a Case without Sonographic Abnormalities
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) are still a major problem in clinical cytogenetics as they cannot be identified or characterized unambiguously by conventional cytogenetics alone. On the other hand, and perhaps more importantly in prenatal settings, there is a challenging situation for counseling how to predict the risk for an abnormal phenotype, especially in cases with a de novo ...
