ABSTRACT Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder with genetic heterogeneity. Up to three loci are involved in this disease, PKDI on chromosome 16p13.3, PKD2 on 4q21, and a third locus of unknown location. Methods: Here we report the first molecular genetic study of ADPKD and the existence oflocus heterogeneity for ADPKD in the Iranian populatio...

in this study a set of 10 polymorphic microsatellites (maf33, oarcp34, bm8125, maf214, maf70, dyms1, mcm527, oarjmp29, oarjmp58, bm1824) has been used to assess the distribution of genetic variation in six iranian sheep breeds (sanjabi, kabude shiraz, turki ghashghaii, lori, bakhtiyari and arabi). from each breed 45 sheep randomly were selected and their blood samples were collected individuall...

background: a number of methods for detecting diversity in entamoeba have been described over the years. in the present study the genetic polymorphism of noncoding locus a-l was ana­lyzed using pcr and sequencing in order to clarify the genotypic differences among e. dispar isolates. methods: a total of 28 e. dispar from patients with gastrointestinal symptoms were determined and the genomic dn...

Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) are the two major types of indigenous chickens in Nigeria. They subsist under traditional Animal husbandry and are thus liable to indiscriminate mating and consequently to loss of genetic diversity. Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) were investigated to determine genetic variation at transferrin locus ...

Information on the genetic structure of marine species is essential for stock improvement programs. In orderto analyses the genetic diversity of the Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricte) by the microsatellite geneticmethod, 64 samples were caught from the beaches located in Kish and Qeshm islands. Polymerase chainreactions (PCR) of genomic DNA extracted from the samples wer...

The silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio), a gynogenetic teleost, is a promising model for the study of evolutionary genetics in vertebrates. We identified ten gynogenetic clones (FZ-I~FZ-X) from triploid silver crucian carp, collected from Fangzheng County in Heilongjiang Province, China, using microsatellite markers. The genetic diversity of these gynogenetic clones was analyzed usi...
