Background: HLA-B*27 is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). It represents a family of alleles that differ among ethnic groups. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of HLA-B*27 alleles in AS patients and healthy controls in Isfahan (Iran). Methods: Sixty AS patients and 430 healthy blood donors were selected. All subjects were HLA-B*27 positive by ...

Conserved extended haplotypes (CEHs) are large (>or=1Mb) regions of identical DNA of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region of chromosome 6p in unrelated individuals. They are recognized by family studies and constitute nearly half of MHC haplotypes among European Caucasians. We studied 49 Hungarian Caucasian families in comparison with the previous findings in 2675 normal American C...

BACKGROUND Paraoxonases (PON) are members of an enzyme family involved in preventing low-density lipoprotein oxidation and therefore protecting against atherosclerotic plaque formation. METHODS We studied the Met55Leu and Gln192Arg PON1 polymorphisms in 712 patients (437 Caucasian- and 275 African-Brazilians) who underwent coronary angiography. RESULTS Among Caucasian-Brazilians, the homozy...

Methods: The D-FINES study (Vitamin D, Food Intake, Nutrition and Exposure to Sunlight in Southern England) is currently investigating the interaction between diet and sunlight exposure on vitamin D status in Caucasian and Asian women aged 19–70 years living in Southern England. Fasted blood samples were collected from a total of 279 Caucasian and 94 Asian women in each season. Bone quality was...

Recent evidence suggests stronger holistic processing for own-race faces may underlie the own-race advantage in face memory. In previous studies Caucasian participants have demonstrated larger holistic processing effects for Caucasian over Asian faces. However, Asian participants have consistently shown similar sized effects for both Asian and Caucasian faces. We investigated two proposed expla...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Fidaxomicin treatment of Clostridium difficile infection is known to produce minimal systemic exposure, as the antibacterial (antibiotic) remains primarily in the gut. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses of fidaxomicin were evaluated in healthy Japanese and Cau...

OBJECTIVE African American youth have lower insulin sensitivity than their Caucasian peers, but the metabolic pathways responsible for this difference remain unknown. Free fatty acids (FFAs) are associated with insulin resistance through the Randle cycle. The present investigation determined whether elevating FFA is more deleterious to insulin sensitivity in African American than in Caucasian a...
