BackgroundIt has been confirmed that the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) gene rs9402373 polymorphism is associated with fibrotic and inflammatory diseases. However, studies on relationship between polymorphisms in CTGF bowel disease (IBD) remain rare. Therefore, aim of this study was to assess association IBD susceptibility a Chinese population.Materials methodsTo establish an amplificat...

background rapid detection of resistant strains of helicobacter pylori in human clinical samples is of major importance in clinical settings. inability of conventional clinical laboratory techniques in detection of these strains usually leads to failure of prescribed therapeutic regimens. objectives the aim of this study was designing a simple and rapid allele-specific pcr (as-pcr)-based method...

We present a PCR method for identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), using allele-specific primers designed for selective amplification of each allele. Matching the SNP at the 3' end of the forward or reverse primer, and additionally incorporating a 3' mismatch to prevent amplification of the incorrect allele, results in selectivity of the allele-specific primers. DNA melting a...

Several biological phenomena depend on differential methylation of chromosomal strands. While understanding the role of these processes requires information on allele-specific methylation, the available methodologies are not quantitative or labor-intensive. We describe a novel, rapid method to quantitate allele-specific DNA methylation based on the combination of bisulfite PCR and Pyrosequencin...

Aim . To study the association of nucleotide polymorphisms in platelet receptor and cytochrome P450 genes with development resistance to antiplatelet drugs CHD patients. Material Methods The included 243 patients diagnosed after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), including 140 acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment group 103 dual therapy (DAT) group. All were tested for aggregation using an o...
