Japanese is widely recognized as a prototypical pitch-accent language, based on the fact that, given the “accent” location or the lack thereof, the tonal pattern of the entire word is totally predictable. Therefore, unlike tone languages, specification of the tone of each syllable is unnecessary. Consequently, it has been argued that, although Japanese may superficially resemble tone languages,...

objective: globozoospermia is a rare syndrome with an incidence of less than 0.1% among infertile men. researchers have recently identified a large deletion, about 200 kbp, encompassing the whole length of dpy19l2 or mutations in spata16 and pick1 genes associated with globozoospermia. the aim of this study was to analyze the dpy19l2 gene deletion using polymerase chain reaction technique for t...

BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is one of the best-known polymorphic drug-metabolizing enzymes. Rapidly evolving genotyping techniques permit the identification of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and thereby a prediction of individual metabolic capacities for CYP2D6 substrates. A considerable part of interindividual variability in CYP2D6 enzyme activity, however, is not related t...
