In this case-controlled study, we tested susceptible genetic variants for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in CR1, CLU and PICALM from Genome Wide Association studies (GWAS) in southern Chinese population. 812 participants consisting of 462 late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) patients and 350 non-demented controls were recruited. We found by multivariate logistic regression analysis, that single nucl...

In this case-controlled study, we tested susceptible genetic variants for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in CR1, CLU and PICALM from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in a southern Chinese population. Eight hundred twelve participants consisting of 462 late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) patients and 350 nondemented control subjects were recruited. We found by multivariate logistic regression ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate boron tolerance wheat genotypes using mature embryo culture. analysis involved 79 recombinant inbred lines the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative (ITMI) population and three Serbian varieties with known (B) (Pobeda - sensitive S, Balerina-medium tolerant MT, Nevesinjka T). evaluation performed on a modified MS medium which 15 mM boric acid add...

The study was conducted to investigate the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat in longissimus lumborum (LL) of three genotypic groups: Qazvinian native (Q, n=10), crossbred Qazvinian native × Saanen breed (QS, n=10) and backcrossed Qazvinian native × Saanen breed (QSS, n=9) male kids.All of kids were weaned at 75-days-old and then fed with a diet consisted of concentrate (70%) and alfalfa h...

Abstract Background The potential contribution of vitamin D and its receptor (VDR) to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm neonates is still unknown. objective the study was test relationship between VDR Taq 1 Fok gene polymorphisms BPD neonates. were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism ( PCR-RFLP ) analysis. Result No statistically significant...

Point mutations in somatic cells play a role in the etiology of several classes of human pathologies. Experimental procedures are required that allow the detection and quantitation of such mutations in disease-related genes in tissue biopsy samples without the need for the selection of mutated cells. We describe the genotypic analysis of single base pair mutations in the Taq I endonuclease reco...

Strain F31T was isolated from meadow grass (Poa trivialis L.) sampled from the city park in Helsinki. Analysis of phenotypic and genotypic properties showed the strain to be related to the group of obligately methylotrophic non-methane utilizing bacteria (methylobacteria) with the ribulose monophosphate pathway of formaldehyde assimilation. Phylogenetic analysis showed the strain to be closely ...

As candidosis incidence continue to rise, quick laboratory identification of Candida species is becoming increasingly important for a growing population of patients at-risk. RAPD techniques were used on samples of Candida obtained from patients hospitalized at Santa Casa de Misericordia in Belo Horizonte (SCMBH) Brazil, from March 1998 to December 2000 and then compared with the results of phen...
