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...

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 association of rs10818488 snp located in traf1/c5 region with rheumatoid arthritis (ra), has been picked up by genome-wide association studies. independent studies in different populations revealed inconsistent results. the aim of this study was to investigate the possible association of this snp with ra in iranian population. a total of 362 cases and 422 healthy controls were recruited in ...

background: several methods have been developed for detection of sequence variation in genes and each has its advantages and disadvantages. a disadvantage of them is that the simpler, cost-effective methods are commonly perceived as being less sensitive in their detection of sequence variation, whereas those with proven sensitivity have a requirement for complex or expensive laboratory equipmen...

this study was conducted in order to investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) rs2305957 g/a and recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) in a group of palestinian women residing in gaza strip. a retrospective case-control study was carried out during the period of may to august 2015. a total of 380 females including 190 recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) patients and 190 c...

objective: although the etiology of schizophrenia is unknown, it has a significant genetic component. ‎a number of studies have indicated that neuregulin-1 (nrg1) gene may play a role in the ‎pathogenesis of schizophrenia. in this study, we examined whether the rs2439272 of nrg1 ‎is associated with schizophrenia and its negative symptoms in an iranian population.‎ method: rs2439272 was genotype...

mannose-binding lectin (mbl) is a ca⁺² -dependent collagenous lectin, that is produced by liver and mediates innate immune responses by opsonization of pathogens. the serum level of mbl varies widely among healthy individuals, ranging from 0.05 µg/ml (or lower) to over 5 µg/ml, mainly depending on genetic variation. this study has examined promoter and exon 1 of mbl2 genotype among 117 iranian ...
