[ 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 ] - THE EFFECT OF QUINACRINE ON THE EXPRESSION OF WNT3A GENE IN MDA-MB 231 AND MCF7 BREAST CANCER CELL LINES
Background & Aims: Triple-negative breast cancer cells refer to any breast cancer that does not express the genes for the estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors. The Wnt signaling pathway is important in the development and progression of various types of cancers. Quinacrine, a derivative of 9-aminoacridine, has been shown to inhibit the growth of several types of cancer cells. In this stud...
