Background: The p53 tumor suppressor gene plays important roles in genomic stability. Several reports have noted racial differences in the prevalence of p53 genotypes at the codon 72 in patients with endometriosis.To study the association of endometriosis with p53 codon 72 polymorphism in the population of Isfahan. Materials and Methods: We undertook a case–control study to examine the possible...

results the frequencies of the aa, at, and tt genotypes were 31%, 51%, and 18% in the chronic hbv patient group, and 40%, 45%, and 15% in the healthy control group, respectively. however, a lack of association of the + 874 polymorphism in the ifn-γ gene of those with chronic hbv infection was found. evaluation of hbv association with this polymorphism was significant under the dominant genetic ...

introduction: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is defined as abnormal glucose tolerance that is first identified or diagnosedduring pregnancy.deiodinase d2 is essential for the local production of t3 through deiodination of triiodothyroxine (t4). several polymorphisms in d2 have been described. the single-nucleotide polymorphism (snp) in d2 thr92ala is associated with decreased enzyme activi...

introduction: a factor known to cause thrombophilia in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) is the a1298c polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (mthfr). this study aimed to determine the association between rpl and this polymorphism in iranian patients. methods: in this case-control study, 30 patients with a previous history of two or more consecutive unexplained abortio...

Background: Contradictory results have been obtained regarding the role of integrin, beta 3 (ITGB3) gene polymorphisms in occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI). Objectives: We aimed to assess the association between 1565C/T polymorphism of ITGB3 gene and increased risk for acute MI in patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). <strong...

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the status of RANKL6-7 gene polymorphism in patients with chronic (mild, moderate, severe) and aggressive periodontitis as well as healthy controls. We examined80 patients for the RANKL6-7 polymorphisms (rs1054016 and rs9567000). Polymorphism was determinedby polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by direct sequencing. No statistica...

Background: Microsomal epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1) plays an important role in both activation and detoxification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) amines. Polymorphism EPHX1 His139Arg susceptibility to lung cancer has been reported with inconsistent outcomes. Aim this study was analyze the relationship between polymorphism smokers.Method: Consecutive sampling case-control applied. Genot...

background chronic hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is a multifactorial disease that can result in serious clinical complications. host genetic background especially the genes that encode immunologic factors like inf-γ and its receptor (ifn-γ r) are critical in the pathogenesis of infection. materials and methods genomic dna from peripheral blood samples of 200 chronically hbv infected patient...
