background: adhesion and biofilm formation are two important steps in candida pathogenesis. the aim of the current study was to investigate the presence of bcr1 gene in candida albicans (c. albicans) isolates from women with vaginal candidiasis and its impact on biofilm formation. methods: we used 50 clinical isolates which confirmed c. albicans by pcr-rflp. then total rna was extracted from c....

in view of the fundamental role of genetics in development of obesity, the present study aimed to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphism of some obesity-related genes among a subset of obese women living in tabriz, iran. for this purpose, 70 eligible obese women (aged 18-45 years) were genotyped for the uncoupling protein-1 (ucp-1) -3826a>g, ß3-adrenergic receptor (ß3adr) trp64arg, lept...

The DRB3 gene is a highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II gene and plays an important role in variability of immune responsiveness and disease resistance. In the present study, the MHC class II DRB3 gene in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) populations from Northwest regions of Iran was investigated through PCR-SSCP. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples c...
