چکیده مقاله:

Background: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphism is known to affect various neurologic disorders with different effects on the immune system and CNS repair. However, previous studies on possible modulation of the clinical course of multiple sclerosis (MS) by APOE polymorphism have been inconsistent. Objective: To clarify the issue for MS patients' management and future research. Methods: The present cross-sectional study investigated 81 patients with clinically proven MS and related their clinical and demographic findings to the allelic polymorphism of the APOE gene. The genotype distribution of patients with MS was compared with a comparison group of 93 asymptomatic elderly volunteers. Results: Significant differences were found in the distribution of e4 allele between patients with MS and the comparison group (9.3% vs. 0.5%; p<0.001). An analysis of disease progression in 81 patients with MS indicated that APOE e4 carriers are more likely to be affected with severe disease. Conclusion: The results obtained suggested that APOE genotype affected susceptibility to MS and indicated an association of the APOE e4 allele with a more severe course of the disease.

AN INVESTIGATION OF HUMAN APOLIPOPROTEIN E POLYMORPIDSMS IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS OF IRAN

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system, with a complex etiology that includes a strong genetic component. The chromosome 19q 13 region surrounding the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene has shown consistent evidence of involvement in MS. In a cross-sectional study, to show the APOE genotype and allele frequency in the MS population of Iran in comp...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
