allele frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) are variable among different populations; therefore the study of snps in ethnic groups is important for establishing the clinical significance of the screening of these polymorphisms. the main goal of the research is to study the polymorphisms of cyp2c9 , cyp2c19 , vkorc1 , and slco1b1 in yakuts. genomic dna from 229 yakut subjects we...

the purpose of this study was to determine the clinical significance of changes in the plasma  adiponectin  concentration  in  patients  with  bronchial  asthma  and  to  test  the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) rs2241766 and rs1501299 in the adipoq gene and bronchial asthma in the chinese li population.we selected 120 cases and 120 controls, and plasma adiponect...

Background: We explored the effect of vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms in response to PEG-IFN treatment in Egyptian chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Methods: Two hundred hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients (42.3±10.7 years) on PEG-IFN α-2a (180 μg /kg for 48 weeks) and one hundred control subjects (37.3 ±12 years) were enrolled in the study. Vitamin D levels a...

The avianuncoupling protein (avUCP) is a member of the mitochondrial transporter superfamily that uncouples proton entry in the mitochondrial matrix from ATP synthesis. The polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of the UCP/HhaI polymorphisms and to determine associations between these polymorp...

We propose a Bayesian variable selection method in semi-parametric models with applications to genetic and epigenetic data (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms and DNA methylation, respectively). The data are individually standardized to reduce heterogeneity and facilitate simultaneous selection of categorical (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and continuous (DNA methylation) variables. The G...
