a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:363:"The largest percentage of failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles are due to lack of implantation. As hereditary thrombophilia can cause in placentation failure, it may have a role in recurrent IVF failure. The aim of this case-control study was to determine whether or not hereditary thrombophilia is more prevalent in women with recurrent IVF failures.";s:19:"Ma...

The nature and pace of genome mutation is largely unknown. Standard methods to investigate DNA-mutation rely on arraying or sequencing DNA from a population of cells, hence the genetic composition of individual cells is lost and de novo mutation in cell(s) is concealed within the bulk signal. We developed methods based on (SNP-) arraying and next-generation sequencing of single-cell whole-genom...

objective: jaundice with indirect hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common neonatal problems that occur in 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates but the causes are mostly unknown. it is suggested that race plays an important role in the prevalence of hyperbilirubinemia. it is a common problem in iran that worries both parents and pediatricians. it has been found that a mutation in the ugt...

Background: DNA polymerase β (pol β) is a key enzyme of base excision repair pathway. It is a 1-kb gene consisting of 14 exons. Its catalytic part lies between exon 8 and exon 14. Exon 12 has a role in deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate selection for nucleotide transferase activity. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from ovarian carcinoma samples. Single strand conformation polymorphism...

objective(s):  denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dhplc) is a high throughput approach for screening dna sequence variations. to assess oven calibration, cartridge performance, buffer composition and stability, the wave low and high range mutation standards are employed to ensure reproducibility and accuracy of the chromatographic analysis. the purpose of this study was to provi...

Objective(s): KRAS proto-oncogene mutation can be considered a diagnostic factor for treating various malignancies. Helicobacter pylori infection, a risk factor for stomach cancer, may cause DNA damage and genetic changes. The aim of the current study was to assess the association of gastric cancer and KRAS mutation, demographic factors, and H. pylori infection.<...

we studied 74 patients with lebers hereditary optic neuropathy (lhon) to investigate causative mtdna mutations (g3460a, g11778a, t14484c, g4459a) in iranian lhon patients. fifty two patients carried the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) g11778a mutation, while one had the t14484c mutation 4 patients had the g3460a mutation and one had the g14459a mutation. our results showed a similarity in the pattern...

ABSTRACTTuberculosis is an infectious disease which occurs widely in the world and becomes one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. Mutations of the RpoB gene cause the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to rifampicin that contributes to the occurrence of MDR-TB. This study aimed to determine the pattern of rpoB gene polymorphisms in the MDR M. tuberculosis in Semarang, Indonesia. Mos...
