Abstract Background Thalassemia is common in the Iranian population, and it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the microcytic hypochromic anemia. The molecular analysis of β-thalassemia is necessary for prenatal molecular diagnosis. Α-thalassemia caused by loss of function of either one of the two duplicated α-globin genes or in less frequent non deletion mutations mostly loc...

in this paper coupled nonlinear equations of motion of a suspended cable with time dependent tension and velocity are derived by using hamilton’s principal. a modal analysis for a stationary sagged cable is initially carried out in order to identify the dynamic system. the natural solution is directed to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the free vibration of a suspended cable....

conclusions this finding may help improve early detection, differential diagnosis, genetic counseling, and even treatment of patients with pku. introduction phenylketonuria (pku) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of phenylalanine metabolism, which is caused by mutation in phenylalanine hydroxylase (pah) gene. most of the pah mutations are missense mutations (67%), which are followed by sma...

breast cancer (bc) is considered as one of the most important causes of death worldwide. previous studies showed that apolipoprotein b mrna- editing catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (apobec3) gene deletion significantly increased the risk of bc risk in chinese and european women. the present study aimed to assess the possible impact of apobec3 deletion and the risk of bc in a sample of iranian popu...

proximal spinal muscular atrophy (sma) is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders. sma has an estimated incidence of 1 in 10,000 live births. the clinical picture of sma is quite variable and childhood sma has been classified into 3 types. type i, werdnig-hoffmann disease, is the most acute and severe, with an onset before the age of 6 months and death usually occurring before the ...

Abstract Although euphemism has been studied in many Arabic dialects, it not yet received due attention Iraqi (IA). This study investigates the use of euphemistic strategies by IA speakers and effect gender degree formality on these strategies. In order to achieve objectives, a discourse completion test (DCT) was developed distributed 160 (80 males 80 females) university students. The data were...
