One hundred and thirty seven unrelated Nadar individuals residing in Tamil Nadu, (South India) were studied for HLA A, B, C and DR locus antigen profiles. The allele frequencies of HLA A9, B5, Cw4, Cw7, DR2 and DR6 were increased while frequencies of HLA A10, B8, B16, B46, B78, Cw5, Cw9 and DR9 were decreased in the Nadars. The gene frequencies of HLA A1, A3, A28, B5, B17, B37, Cw4, Cw5, DR1, D...

Low molecular weight glutenin subunits are important components of wheat storage proteins, which play an important role in determining end-use quality of common wheat. A newly established matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) procedure was used to analyze 478 landraces of bread wheat collected from the Yangtze-River region in China. Results ...

to evaluate allelic diversity at loci encoding low molecular weight glutenin subunits (lmw-gs) among 62 genotypes of bread wheat, nine specific primer pairs for glu-a3, glu-b3, glu-d3 loci were employed. pcr products were separated on 2% agarose gels. two pairs of specific primers, at amplified glu-a3 locus, 8 alleles were detected the c allele of which was the most abundant with a frequency of...

Background: Cytokines are cell signaling molecules which upon release by cells facilitate the recruitment of immune-modulatory cells towards the sites of inflammation. Genetic variations in cytokine genes are shown to regulate their production and affect the risk of infectious as well as autoimmune diseases. Intron-3 of interleukin-4 gene (IL-4) harbors 70-bp variable number of tandem repeats (...

Abstract. Hatta ANNL, Sukma D, Maskromo I, Sudarsono S. 2023. Validated SNAP markers based on the CYP P450 87 A3 gene in coconut (Cocos nucifera) are associated with yearly stem height increase. Biodiversitas 24: 2503-2512. Tall and dwarf coconuts types used worldwide as parents hybrid production, they differ their height. The of is estimated 11 leaf scars length. essential stem-height increase...

The mammalian APOBEC3 (A3) proteins comprise a multigene family of cytidine deaminases that act as potent inhibitors of retroviruses and retrotransposons. The A3 locus on the chromosome 28 of the horse genome contains multiple A3 genes: two copies of A3Z1, five copies of A3Z2, and a single copy of A3Z3, indicating a complex evolution of multiple gene duplications. We have cloned and analyzed fo...

The investigation was conducted to find out whether there is any association between delusional disorder and HLA antigens. The sample comprised 50 patients with delusional disorder and 282 control samples collected from normal controls. Statistical analysis revealed that the frequency of A3 antigen of the locus A are significantly higher. In case of HLA - B locus significantly higher frequency ...

Haemochromatosis (GH) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which increased iron absorption causes iron overload. The gene (HFE) is closely linked to HLA-A on chromosome 6 (6p21.3) but has not yet been identified. We have examined eight polymorphic loci, HLA-B (most centromeric), I82, D6S265, HLA-A, D6S128, HLA-F, D6S105, and D6S299 (most telomeric) in 37 unrelated patients and 60 control subje...
