dna polymorphism within diacylglycerol transferase 2 (dgat2) / monoacyl glycerol transferases 2 (mogat2), leptin and butyrophilin genes were analysed using pcr-sscp in murrah buffalo. the single strand conformation polymorphism (sscp) analysis of amplified gene fragment in exon 5 of mogat2, exon 3 of leptin and intron 1 of butyrophilin gene revealed different patterns. a, b and c showed the fol...

DNA polymorphism within diacylglycerol transferase 2 (DGAT2) / monoacyl glycerol transferases 2 (MOGAT2), leptin and butyrophilin genes were analysed using PCR-SSCP in Murrah buffalo. The single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of amplified gene fragment in exon 5 of MOGAT2, exon 3 of leptin and intron 1 of butyrophilin gene revealed different patterns. A, B and C showed the fol...

Background: DNA polymerase β (pol β) is a key enzyme of base excision repair pathway. It is a 1-kb gene consisting of 14 exons. Its catalytic part lies between exon 8 and exon 14. Exon 12 has a role in deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate selection for nucleotide transferase activity. Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from ovarian carcinoma samples. Single strand conformation polymorphism...

Utilization of fecundity genes such as GDF9 and BMP15 can help improve reproductive traits in sheep breeding programme. To evaluate effects of missense mutations on protein function, the polymorphisms of GDF9 and BMP15 genes were screened in twelve mehraban sheep using DNA sequencing, followed by protein structure modeling. Six single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) known as FecG mutations (G1-G...

The intron-exon structure of Khorasan native fowl interleukin-2 (IL-2) was investigated. For this purpose, twenty chickens were selected from the Native Fowl Breeding Station of Khorasan province, and genomic DNA was extracted using a modified conventional DNA extraction protocol. An 875 bp fragment of IL-2 was successfully amplified, including a small part of the promoter, exon 1, intron 1, an...

background: spinal muscular atrophy (sma) is the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease. it is a neuromuscular disorder caused by degenerative of lower motor neurons and occasionally bulbar neurons leading to progressive limb paralysis and muscular atrophy. the smn1 gene is recognized as a sma causing gene while naip has been characterized as a modifying factor for the clinical s...

Background: This study aimed to assess the frequency determination of c.1115_1118delTTGG and c.3788_3790delTCT Fanconi's anemia A gene (FANCA) gene mutation in the North of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Pakistan Fanconi’s Anemia Population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Khyber Medical University, Peshawar, Pakistan. For the Exon 13 mutation c.1115_1118delTTGG, the ...
