BACKGROUND Vitamin D, from diet and sunlight exposure, may be associated with reduced breast-cancer risk. This study investigated if candidate gene variants in vitamin D pathways are associated with breast cancer risk, or modify the associations between breast cancer and vitamin D exposure. METHODS Breast cancer cases aged 25 to 74 years were identified from the Ontario Cancer Registry (histo...

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 miru-vntr polymorphism and katg463 mutation are used to genotype the mycobacterium tuberculosis, but the correlation between them and inh-resistance were unknown. this study was aimed to explore whether etre polymorphism and katg463 mutation could predict the inh-resistance, and the relationship between etre polymorphism and katg463 mutation.the etre, katg463 mutation and drug resistance in...

Introduction: One factor known to cause thrombophilia in women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is C677T polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene. This study aimed to determine the association between RSA and MTHFR C677T polymorphism in Iranian patients. Methods: In this case-control study, 30 patients with previous history of two or more consecutive unexpla...

DNA polymorphism within diacylglycerol transferase 2 (DGAT2) / monoacyl glycerol transferases 2 (MOGAT2), leptin and butyrophilin genes were analysed using PCR-SSCP in Murrah buffalo. The single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of amplified gene fragment in exon 5 of MOGAT2, exon 3 of leptin and intron 1 of butyrophilin gene revealed different patterns. A, B and C showed the fol...

The polymorphism of liquid cesium at atmospheric pressure in thetemperature range ~590 K the form a second-order phasetransition, announced late 90s, is not confirmed new experimentalworks and computer simulations its properties. At same time, thequestion whether change properties with adecrease or increase density up to two times monotonous isaccompanied by various anomalies needs further rese...

This article shows the results of studies in course which a comparative aspect LEP polymorphism was studied subpopulations Holstein dairy cattle cows with fatty hepatosis and healthy animals. is first time such are being conducted. In this case, hepothesis about relationship genetic markers, particular leptin gene, risk developing progression liver disease model when determining frequency occur...

In eusocial insects, worker polymorphism is shaped by several factors, including colony size, queen mating frequency, and the timing of queen-worker differentiation during larval development. a comparative study 18 species Cataglyphis desert ants representing wide range sizes, we used phylogenetically controlled analyses to examine correlations between head width variation (i.e., polymorphism) ...
