background three single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) near interleukin-28b (il-28b) gene were shown to be highly associated with treatment response (svr) in patients with chronic hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection. there is limited data about the role of single and combined il-28b polymorphisms in hcv-infected polish population. objectives this study's aim was to determine predictability of th...

conclusions our results showed for the first time that lyplal1 gene is not associated with a risk of nafld development in the chinese han population. the variant carriers of overall subjects significantly increased weight, bmi and ldl. patients and methods lyplal1 rs12137855 gene was genotyped in 184 patients with nafld and 114 healthy controls using sequencing and polymerase chain reaction ana...

conclusions trim22 gene ring domain -364t/c polymorphism is associated with chronic hbv infection in chinese han population. results 243 (31.76%) of 765 chinese han patients showed genetic variation in the trim22 gene. trim22 snps were mainly in ring area -364t/c site, accounting for 98.35% of the population. there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in the ring domain -364t/c snp and al...

matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) play an important role in gastric cancer (gc). accumulated evidence suggests that functional mmp-1 and mmp-7 gene polymorphisms are associated with several tumors. the aim of this study was to investigate two single nucleotide polymorphisms, mmp-1 -1607 1g/2g and mmp-7 -181 a/g, and their potential relationship with gc. we examined 246 gc  patients and 252 age-a...

A new separation-free method for detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is described. The method is based on the single base extension principle, fluorescently labeled dideoxy nucleotides and two-photon fluorescence excitation technology, known as ArcDia trade mark TPX technology. In this assay technique, template-directed single base extension is carried out for primers which have...

molecular genetics selection on individual genes is a promising method to genetically improve economically important traits in livestock. the insulin like growth factor-i (igf-i) gene may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues, including muscle cells, cartilage and bone. the objectives of the present study were the estimate the haplotype frequencies of the igf-i gene polymorphisms i...

We show the following new lowness results for the probabilistic class ZPP NP. The class AM \ coAM is low for ZPP NP. As a consequence it follows that Graph Iso-morphism and several group-theoretic problems known to be in AM \ coAM are low for ZPP NP. The class IPPP/poly], consisting of sets that have interactive proof systems with honest provers in P/poly are also low for ZPP NP. We consider lo...

b ackground: the main goal of present study was to detect polymorphism in msp-1 gene which is a major blood stage candidate for vaccine in plasmodium vivax by single strand conformational poly- morphism-polymerase chain reaction (sscp-pcr). m ethods: during 2008 to 2010 fifty samples were collected from iranian patients with p. vivax in hormozgan province, southern iran. all of the samples were...
