potato virus y (pvy) is one of the most important pathogenic agents that reduce the yield and quality of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum l.). dna-based molecular markers are valuable tools for identifying germplasm in gene banks, assessing kinship ties, and doing marker-assisted selection (mas) for resistance to pests, diseases, and some crop traits of interest. this work presents the results of ass...

objective(s): non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (nshl) is a common disorder affecting approximately 1 in 500 newborns. this type of hearing loss is extremely heterogeneous and includes over 100 loci. mutations in the gjb2 gene have been implicated in about half of autosomal recessive nshl (arnshl) cases, making this the most common cause of arnshl. for the latter form of deafness, most f...

objective(s)marfan syndrome (mfs) is a severe connective tissue disorder withan autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. early diagnosis is critical in mfs. because of the large size of fibrillin-1 gene (fbn1), the uniqueness of mutations, and the absence of genotype-to-phenotype correlations linkage analysis can be very helpful for early diagnosis of mfs. in this study, eight polymorphic marker...

background: hearing loss (hl) is the most frequent neurosensory impairment. hl is highly heterogeneous defect. this disorder affects 1 out of 500 newborns. this study aimed to determine the role of dfnb2 locus and frequency of myo7a gene mutations in a population from west of iran. methods: thirty families investigated in shahrekord university of medical sciences in 2014, genetic linkage analys...
