this research aimed to evaluate the effect of planting seasons (autumn and spring) on 10 accessions of two species of astragalus effusus and astragalus brachyodontus in the field condition (homand absard station, damavand). after preparing the seedbed, the plant species were planted on two lines in 2 m, where the spacing between the lines of each accession was 0.5 m, and the spacing between the...

Background Founder mutations in the two breast cancer genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, have been described in many populations, among these are Ashkenazi-Jewish, Polish, Norwegian and Icelandic. Founder mutation testing in patients with relevant ancestry has been a cost-efficient approach in such populations. Four Norwegian BRCA1 founder mutations were defined by haplotyping in 2001, and accounted for 6...

We read with interest the recent publication of Beer and Sahin-Tóth reporting that exonic variants affecting pre-mRNA splicing contribute to the genetic burden in chronic pancreatitis. One particular variant, affecting the last nucleotide of exon 3 of the SPINK1 gene, c.194G>A, was found to cause an ∼80% reduction in SPINK1 mRNA expression as compared with the wild type in a minigene assay perf...
