[ 1 ] - Combination of Myelin Basic Protein Gene Polymorphisms with HLA-DRB1*1501 in Iranian Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS), as a multifactorial autoimmune disease with complex genetic basis, causes demyelination in the central nervous system via cytokine responses to myelin antigens. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the main protein component of the myelin sheath. HLA-DRB (human leukocyte antigen-DR beta) alleles, particularly HLA-DRB1*1501, may be of significance in the pathogenesi...

[ 2 ] - Data Mining for Identification of Forkhead Box O (FOXO3a) in Different Organisms Using Nucleotide and Tandem Repeat Sequences

 Background: Deregulation of FOXO3a gene which belongs to Forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factors, can cause cancer (e.g. breast cancer). FOXO factors have important role in ubiquitination, acetylation, de-acetylation, protein-protein interactions and phosphorylation. Understanding the regulation and mechanisms of FOXO3a can lead to cancer treatment. The aim of this study recent association...
