recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is known as the most common chronic disease of the oral cavity, which affects a range of 5-25% of the population. ras appears to be associated with some human leukocyte antigen (hla) class ii alleles and haplotypes. this study attempts to survey the distribution of hla-drb and -dqb alleles among iranian ras patients and healthy controls. in order to evaluate ...

chemokine and chemokine receptors show several variations which may affect resistance to infectious disease. a 32 base pair deletion in the open reading frame of the human ccr5 gene (ccr5?32) results in producing a truncated antigen which fails to be presented on the surface of target cells. ccr5?32 variant is not a functional co receptor for hiv-1 entrance and delay the onset of acquired immun...

the human leukocyte antigen (hla)-g molecule is expressed in cytotrophoblast cells, adult thymic epithelial cells, erythroblasts, pancreatic islets and mesenchymal stem  cells. although, hla-g expression in allotransplanted patients is correlated with a better allograft acceptance, it is associated with an advanced grade of the tumor in cancer. in addition to the role on the immune system, hla-...

the aim of the present study was the conducting of comparative analysis of allele pool of ukrainian population of thoroughbred horses and the populations from england, usa, russia and south korea using microsatellite loci of dna on the basis of our own researches and literary sources. comparative analysis of allele pool of thoroughbred populations from different countries was conducted using 6 ...

background and purpose: the identification of genetics risk factors of human diseases is very important. this study is conducted to model the allele frequencies (afs) of alzheimer’s disease. materials and methods: in this study, several candidate probability distributions are fitted on a data set of alzheimer’s disease genetic risk factor. unknown parameters of the considered distributions are ...

conclusions this study revealed allele frequency of some strs on chromosome 12 and 16 for the first time in iran, and indicated differences between subjects with metabolic syndrome and subjects in the control group. results there was no significant deviation in allelic frequencies from hardy-weinberg equilibrium for all the studied markers except for d12s1632 and d12s329. the long alleles in d1...

csn1s1is one of the major genes encoding milk proteins of mammals. in this study we determined allele frequencies of csn1s1-5` flanking region as well as exon 17 variants and their effects on milk traits in three indigenous cattle breeds mazandarani, golpaygani (bos indicus) and sarabi (bos taurus) and holstein cattle in iran. csn1s1*b variant was nearly fixed in holstein but ranged from 0.40 t...

In this study we estimated the allele and genotype frequencies of SCD1 and DGAT1 gene polymorphism. The analysis was conducted on 408 Holstein cows from five dairy herds in Isfahan province. Genotypes were identified using PCR-RFLP technique. Two genetic variants (A and V) of the SCD1 gene were observed in this experiment. The frequency of A-allele ranged from 0.49 to 0.66, while frequency of V...
