Sugarcane is an important sugar and energy crop in the world. Germplasm innovation a significant way to breed breakthrough sugarcane varieties. Modern varieties all contain blood relationship of Saccharum officinarum spontaneum. High results from S. resistance genes In order improve quality, breeders use spontaneum cross obtain hybrid offspring with high resistance. Therefore, authenticity prog...

single-nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in mirnasmay alter its expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility to a wide range of diseases. our study aimed to evaluate the possible association between mirna-146a rs2910164 and mirna-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (ptb) in a sample of iranian population. this case- control study was perfor...

We developed a mutation-screening protocol for the ASS1 gene in order to guide clinical management of neonates with elevated citrulline detected during routine newborn screening. An exon-based amplification and sequencing method was designed and successfully applied to patients to identify disease-associated mutations. The sequencing-based method was applied to three patients with mild or asymp...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a worldwide epidemic disorder with considerable health and economic consequences. Metformin is one of the most commonly prescribed oral antidiabetic drugs. Pharmacogenetic studies showed that variants in genes related to the pharmacokinetics of metformin were associated with glucose-lowering effect of metformin. The aim of this study was to evaluate pharmacogenetic v...

In this placebo controlled, randomised, double blind trial, pregnant women received from the 20th week of gestation onwards either 500 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), 400 mg 5-methyl-tetra-hydro-folate (5-MTHF), or placebo, or a combination of 500 mg DHA and 400 mg 5-MTHF. The dietary supplements were well tolerated; the dropout rates did not differ significantly in the active arms of the study ...

objective(s):organic anion transporter polypeptide 1b1 (oatp1b1) encoded by solute carrier organic transporter 1b1 (slco1b1) gene; a transporter involved in the uptake of drugs and endogenous compounds is present in hepatocyte sinusoidal membrane. aim of this study was to investigate the frequencies of functionally significant snps (388a>g and 521t>c) and their haplotypes in 6 ethnic groups of ...
