Background: Arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy (AVC) is an inherited cardiac disorder affecting 1 in 1000 individuals worldwide. The mean diagnosed age of disease is 31 years. In this article, an Iranian family reported that they were affected by ARVC due to a novel PKP2 mutation.    Methods: Clinical evaluations, 12-lead ECG, CMR, and signal-averaged ECG were performed. After...

We generalize an approach recently introduced to study arbitrary correla-tors of spectral determinants in quantum chaotic systems with broken T-invariance. The utility of this method for obtaining generating functions for a variety of universal correlators is illustrated with several applications.

 Flowering period and longevity play important roles in determining the quality of commercial flowers. Marker-trait associations for eight flowering and 12 ornamental traits have been studied using a GLM and MLM analysis with a set of 2099 AFLP polymorphic markers in Chrysanthemum. The GLM model identified 453 markers for phenotypic traits whereas the MLM association analysis model revealed a t...

Among the most important classes of regulatory proteins are the sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins that control transcription through the occupancy of discrete DNA sequences within genomes. Currently, this class of proteins encompasses at least 37 distinct structural superfamilies and more than 100 distinct structural motifs. In this paper, we examine the transcriptional regulator Wor1, a m...

Stochastic switching is an example of phenotypic bet hedging, where an individual can switch between different phenotypic states in a fluctuating environment. Although the evolution of stochastic switching has been studied when the environment varies temporally, there has been little theoretical work on the evolution of phenotypic switching under both spatially and temporally fluctuating select...

Clonal subpopulations of a chemically induced tumorigenic rat liver epithelial cell line were analyzed for their cellular, biochemi cal, and in vitro growth properties and their tumorigenicity after injection into day-old newborn isogeneic rats. The phenotypic properties studied included DMA content; growth rate in culture; activities of 7-glutamyl transpeptidase, NADH diaphorase, pyruvate kina...

Genetic diversity amongst 21 induced mutant clones tolerant to salinity along with one non-irradiated sensitive clone of banana (Musa acuminata cv. Dwarf Cavendish (AAA)) were studied using morphological and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Out of the 30 phenotypic indices screened, 23 were polymorph and two traits, leaf habit and blotches color, were differentiated by non-irrad...

Abstract Growth and production of arabica coffee are affected by seedling quality which is depends on genotype maintenance such as fertilizer Urea. Th objective this research was to examine the effect Urea phenotypic genetic performance seedlings. The experiment done at greenhouse Agriculture Faculty Nommensen HKBP University in Medan. Seven Arabica genotypes from seven garden Subdistrict Dolok...
