Introduction: Association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in mu opioid receptor gene and drug addiction has been shown in various studies. Here, we have evaluated the existence of polymorphisms in exon 3 of this gene in Iranian population and investigated the possible association between these mutations and opioid addiction.  Methods: 79 opioid-dependent subjects (55 males, 24...

conclusions some il-10 promoter gene polymorphisms predisposed the infected hepatitis b virus cases to cirrhosis in our study population. patients and methods totally, 166 patients with chronic hepatitis b infection were enrolled. genotypes at different positions (i.e. -819, - 592, and - 1082) in the il-10 gene promoter were determined. results the c/a genotype at position -592, c/t genotype at...

background: recurrent pregnancy loss is (rpl) a heterogeneous condition. while the role of acquired thrombophilia has been accepted as an etiology for rpl, the contribution of specific inherited thrombophilic gene polymorphisms to the disorder has been remained controversial. methods: one hundred women with a history of two or more consecutive abortions and 100 women with at least two live birt...

Introduction Genetic background has known to be associated with the outcome of human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type I infection. In The present study we investigate the association between GM-CSF gene polymorphisms with the outcome of HTLV-I infection. Materials and Methods We analyzed 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promter region of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating...

Growth hormone gene plays a critical role in regulating growth and metabolism which leads to potential correlations between the polymorphisms of this gene and economic trait. A 776 bp fragment within the intron 1 region of the growth hormone gene from 346 individuals of an F2 population of Japanese quail was amplified. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was digested using MspI restrict...

objective: plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance is a major problem in malaria endemic areas. single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfcrt and pfmdr1 genes are known to be associated with chloroquine resistance in some parts of the world. the major goal of the present study was to detect the five single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfmdr1 gene and one single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfcrt ...

The review presents modern studies the effect of genetic polymorphisms on efficienty and safety therapy with new oral anticoagulants. Hepatic carboxylesterase encoded by CES1 gene P-glycoprotein ABCB1 affect dabigatran pharmacokinetics. role glucuronidation enzymes (UGT2B15, UGT1A9, UGT2B7) involved in active metabolism is poorly understood. An increase peak apixaban concentration was noted pat...

Association studies of SNPs have become very important in determining how genetic variants are linked to complex diseases, quantitative traits, and physiological responses. Genetic polymorphisms the GLP-1R gene potentially decreased protein stability associated with many especially diabetes obesity. This study aimed screen expression investigate polymorphism by using several beneficial bioinfor...

INTRODUCTION: To date, many factors that influence the risk and course of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are not studied. Increasing significance in etiology development AAA is assigned to existence some genetic polymorphisms, role them studied either.
 AIM: analyze association with gene polymorphisms (GPs).
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gene were analyzed 20 patients (study group, SG); 18...

background: progesterone has been suggested to contribute to the regulation of spermatogenesis and to facilitate the production of viable sperm. investigations have showed that polymorphism of progesterone receptor (pgr) is associated with some diseases. objective: to analyze the potential relationship between male infertility and the +331g/a and progins polymorphisms of pgr gene. materials and...
