Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAsmay alter its expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility to a wide range of diseases. Our study aimed to evaluate the possible association between miRNA-146a rs2910164 and miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population. This case- control study was perfor...

Evaluation of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and single nucleotide mutation in cancer patients and other diseases is crucial for genotypic characterization in order to select therapy and genetic counseling. The study aim is to develop and optimization for the detection of miR-146a gene rs2910164 C/G polymorphism in breast cancer. Tetra-primer Amplification Refractory Mutation System (T-...

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a critical role in immune response, contributing to the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of infectious diseases. Polymorphisms in the IL-18 genes are known to influence expression levels and may be associated with outcome of infections. The objective of this study was to determine whether the presence of IL-18 polymorp...

In the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C6H16NO(+)·C10H5N4O7 (-)·1.5H2O [systematic name: N,N-diethyl-2-hy-droxy-ethan-am-in-ium 5-(2,4-di-nitro-phen-yl)-2,6-di-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydro-pyrim-idin-4-olate sesquihydrate], the dihedral angle between the six-membered rings in the anion is 37.66 (11)°. The nitro groups ortho and para to the ring junction are rotated from their attached ring by 40.8 (...

Decreased paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis. There are two polymorphisms in serum PON1; one differs in the amino acid at position 192 (Q192R) and the other one differs at position 55 (L55M). We looked for a possible association between Q192R polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis. The Q192R polymorphism in 88 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 78 healthy ...

The asymmetric C atom in the title compound, C(21)H(17)BrClNO, is in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral environment and the NH unit adopts a gauche orientation with respect to the CO group. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers.

The non-symmetric title mol-ecule, C32H34N2O5, is based on a tetra-substituted ethyl-enedi-amine backbone. The mol-ecular structure consists of three hy-droxy-benzyl groups and one 2-hy-droxy-5-methyl-benzaldehyde group bonded to the N atoms of the di-amine unit. The ethyl-enedi-amine skeleton shows a regular extended conformation, while the spatial orientation of the phenol arms is governed by...

Thiopurines are clinically useful in the management of diverse immunological and malignant conditions. Nevertheless, these purine analogues can cause lethal myelosuppression, which may be prevented by prospective testing for variants in the thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and, in East Asians, Nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) genes. Two single-tube, tetra-primer amplification refractory mutatio...

The [4.3.0]heterobicyclic title structure, C(19)H(14)BNO(3), is composed of a five-membered OBNC(2) ring and a six-membered OBNC(3) ring, each of which has an approximate envelope conformation. The coordination geometry of the B atom is distorted tetra-hedral. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are associated through pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
