fibroblast growth factor 2 (fgf2) serves in the uterine endometrium during estrous presenting in the bovine mammary gland which is responsible to express interferon-t (ifnt), and is an important agent to encourage the continuation of pregnancy in the ruminants. significant associations have been found between genes affected by ifnt and genes that are responsible for milk production traits. seme...

in view of the fundamental role of genetics in development of obesity, the present study aimed to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphism of some obesity-related genes among a subset of obese women living in tabriz, iran. for this purpose, 70 eligible obese women (aged 18-45 years) were genotyped for the uncoupling protein-1 (ucp-1) -3826a>g, ß3-adrenergic receptor (ß3adr) trp64arg, lept...

In this report, β-tubulin gene polymorphism was investigated in Haemonchus contortus  populations isolated from sheep flocks in different regions of Khouzestan province, southwestern Iran. The samples were chosen on the basis of regional variation in benzimidazole treatment background of sheep flocks. Our objective was to study the relationship between treatment background andβ -tubulin gene po...

Nitric oxide (NO) induces cytotoxicity and angiogenesis, and may play a role in prostate carcinogenesis, potentially modulated by environmental exposures. We evaluated the association of prostate cancer with genetic polymorphisms in two genes related to intracellular NO: NOS2A [i-NOS; 2892T>C, Ex16+14C>T (S608L), IVS16+88T>G, and IVS20+524G>A] and NOS3 [eNOS; IVS1-762C>T, Ex7-43C>T (D258D), IVS...

Background & Aims: To investigate the association of CFI p.Gly119Arg polymorphism with Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, the association of p.Gly119Arg polymorphism in CFI gene was investigated in 65 patients suffering from AMD and150 healthy age, sex and ethnicity matched unrelated people as control group. Both of the case and cont...

The objective of this study was to search for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-type polymorphisms in the dopamine D1 receptor in West Azerbaijani native chicken and look for their association with egg production and body weight traits of chickens by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP). For this purpose 180 blood samples were taken from nativ...

henoch–schönlein purpura (hsp), a common allergic hemorrhagic disease, occurs frequently in children affecting kidney, joint and skin. while interleukin-8 (il-8) plays an important role in inflammation, the association between il-8 gene +781 c/t polymorphism and hsp remains unclear. interleukin-8, an important chemokine related to the initiation and amplification of acute inflammatory responses...

Abstract Tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus are the most important reasons in mortality all over the world. It’s clear that reviewing of relationship between Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is necessary; on the other hand it’s found that FTO gene has the positive relationship with metabolic issues. Therefore, it’s necessary pay attention to the above and danger...
