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...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare congenital disorder arising from deficient development of ectoderm-derived structures including skin, nails, glands and teeth. The phenotype of HED is associated with mutation in EDA, EDAR, EDARADD and NEMO genes, all of them disruptingNF-&kappa;B signaling cascade necessary for initiation, formation and differentiation in the embryo and adult. ...

abstract: chronic lymphocyte leukemia (cll) is the most common leukemia in elderly individuals that is accompanied by the presence of cd5/cd19/cd20/cd23 positive, fmc7 negative and reduced levels of surface membrane immunoglobuline (igm & igd), cd79b on b lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes. remarkably, based on the mutational igvh status, b-cll cases can be subdivided into tw...
