wilson disease is a disorder of copper metabolism that can present with hepatic, neurologic, or psychiatric disturbances, or a combination of these, in individuals ranging from age three years to over 50 years. the primary consequence for most of those with wd is liver disease, appearing in late childhood or early adolescence as acute hepatitis, liver failure, or progressive chronic liver disea...

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is the most common cause of dementia caused by complicated interactions between genetic and environmental factors. molecular genetic research has provided valuable information regarding the genetic etiology of the disease. identifying the genetics of ad not only could shed light on disease pathogenesis, but it may also provide potential targets for effective treatment, ...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important legume crops in Iran. Wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, is the most important soil-borne disease of chickpea in the world. This disease caused high losses in different regions during recent years. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) were used to estimate genetic diversity in 114 of F. oxysporum isolates from six counties...

    Molecular epidemiology is a subdivision of medical science and epidemiology that emphases on the involvement of potential environmental and genetic risk factors, recognized at the molecular level, to the etiology and avoidance of sickness through populations. This arena has developed from the combination of molecular biology and traditional epidemiological research. Molecular...

autosomal polycystic kidney disease (adpkd) is a genetic disorder with two causal pkd-1 and pkd-2. genetic studies have demonstrated an important allelic variability between patients but few data are known about genetic variants in african populations. we report a new mutation found in a 41-year old women with mild chronic kidney disease secondary to adpkd. molecular genetic testing found a del...
