quantitative traits locus for milk production traits has been described on centromeric end of bovine chromosome 14. reports name the acyl coa: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (dgat1) gene as a potential candidate gene with dinucleotide substitution (aa to gc) in exon viii which causes the change of lysine to alanine in amino acid (k232a).the aim of the present study was to estimate the frequency...

the fecb, a mutation in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor ib (bmpr-ib) gene, which increases the fecundity of booroola merino sheep, and fecgh, a mutation in the growth and differentiation factor 9 (gdf9), which affects the fecundity of cambridge and belclare sheep in a dose sensitive manner, were analyzed as candidate genes associated with the prolificacy in rayini goats. these polymorph...

objective: identity the genetic aspects and major gene influence on energy balance, milk production, fertility, food safety and consumer are the recent interests of genetic and breeding researchers. methods: najdi cattle is the most prominent breeds in khuzestan province. to do this plan in shoushtar najdi cattle station, blood samples were taken from 15 najdi cattles. dna was extracted from wh...

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...

abstract tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus are the most important reasons in mortality all over the world. it’s clear that reviewing of relationship between tuberculosis (tb) and diabetes mellitus (dm) is necessary; on the other hand it’s found that fto gene has the positive relationship with metabolic issues. therefore, it’s necessary pay attention to the above and dangerous sicknesses, espec...

the gene coding claudin (cldn5) is located on 22q11. since the proteins of cldn5 family are a ma-jor component for barrier-forming tight junctions, it may be important to test whether or not the cldn5 locus could be associated with schizophrenia.a total of 150 individuals affected with schizophrenia and 150 healthy persons were recruited. the relation-ship between the three single nucleotide po...

background and objectives: annexin is the common name for genes and proteins that were identified as calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. recently a more complex set of functions has been recognized for this superfamily of proteins including in vesicle trafficking, cell division, apoptosis, calcium signalling, mineralization, crystal nucleation inside the extracellular organelles-ma...

ône-third of population deal with sleep disorders which might be due to social, economic or medical problems. studies on twins have indicated the role of genetic factors in these disorders. monozygotic twins have a very similar hypnogram. â higher prevalence of some sleep disorders is reported in relatives of the patients with these disorders. genes also affect sleep disorders as well as some o...

aim : the purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of 16bp insertion of intron 3 p53 in gastritis lesion and its correlation with clinicopathological aspects. background : p53 alterations have been implicated in the development of gastric malignancies. patients and methods : 97 gastritis and normal adjacent tissues were investigated for p53 gene analysis using pcr-sequencing of intron3...

background: the pathogenesis of many diseases is correlated to irregularity in vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) expression. results from several association studies show that variation in the level of vegf expression is related to polymorphic sequences within the vegf gene. additionally, there are many studies showing that some gene polymorphisms significantly influence the pharmacokin...
