Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUNUSUAL SPECTRUM OF GENETIC PATHOLOGIES AND NOVEL MUTATIONS IN PWS AND AS PATIENTS DETECTED BY A WIDE CLUSTER OF METHODSLivia Kotysova, Robert Petrovic, Jan ChandogaPrader-Willi and Angelman syndromes are clinically distinct neurodevelopmental genetic disorders that map to 15q11.2-q13 locus. The common phenotypes are attributable to loss of expression of parentally specific imprinted genes inside this region, where the gene function is dependent on parental origin. Initial diagnosis was proved for the years by methylation pattern analyses of the SNRPN exon 1/promoter region within the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 7,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLEUKOTRIENE C4 SYNTHASE AND LEUKOTRIENE RECEPTOR-1 GENES POLYMORPHISM AMONG ATOPIC ASTHMATIC PATIENTSHeba M. Kadry, Amal H. Atta, Mostafa K. Sultan, Nagwa A. El-BazAsthma is a complex polygenic disease in which Cysteinyl Leukotrienes (Cys-LTs) are a potential risk factors causing airway inflammation and remodeling, which are characteristics of asthma. The polymorphisms in the leukotriene C4 synthase -444A/C and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor1 927 T/C genes has been implicated in susceptibility to asthma. The objective of this study was to analyse two different polymorphisms, LTC4S-444 … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 May 2014 · 7,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGENE IMPRINTING: ENGRAVING THE PATHOGENESIS OF HERIDETARY DISEASESSandeep Satapathy, Roshan Kumar Singh, Harikrishnan RajendranGene imprinting has conduited the scope of our understanding of phenotypic expression and its corelation with constituent genotype. It is an epigenetic process that involves DNA methylation and histone modulation to attain monoallelic gene expression without altering the genetic sequences. A distinctive model of non-mendelian genetics, imprinting extends the control over expression of traits and selection of the allele that … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2014 · 7,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Assam Hill GoatGalib Uz Zaman, Naba Nahardeka, Subimal Laskar et al.A total of 23 polymorphic microsatellite markers were used to evaluate genetic diversity and population structure in Assam Hill Goat (AHG). All the loci studied were polymorphic in nature. The number of observed alleles (Na) detected ranged from 2 to 10 with an overall mean of 4.9±2.220. A total of 114 alleles were observed across all the loci. The effective … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2013 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Polymorphism in Growth and Differentiation Factor 5 Gene with Osteoarthritis KneeAbhishek Mishra, Divya Sanghi, Amar Chandra Sharma et al.The present study investigated to identify the association of polymorphism in GDF-5 gene with osteoarthritis in North Indian population. In a case-control study, 300 cases with knee osteoarthritis and an equal number of age and gender matched healthy controls were included. Cases were diagnosed using the ACR Guidelines of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA). Clinical symptoms were assessed with the knee specific … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 9,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of UGT1A9 Genetic Polymorphisms between Chinese Han and Tibetan PopulationsWei Yan, Jian Cui, Yuewen Wang et al.Although various polymorphisms have been identified in the UGT1A9 gene in the main sorts of ethnic groups in the world, no investigations have been focused on the Chinese Tibetan populations and the comparison between Chinese Tibetan and Han populations to date. This study was designed to systematically compare genetic differences between the two populations. We investigated the functional regions of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 23 Aug 2012 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHyper-Ag-specific Ab Production in NC/Nga Mice is not associated with Deletion Polymorphism in the Promotor Region of the FcγRIIB GeneTohru Sakai, Mariko Nakamoto, Emi SutoProblem statement: NC/Nga (NC) mice produced high levels of ovalbumin (OVA)-specific IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a. We previously found deletion polymorphisms in the promoter region of fcgr2b in NC mice. To determine whether this mutation causes a hyper-humoral immune response, we generated congenic BALB/c mice carrying the NC-type fcgr2b allele (NC fcgr2b) and analyzed humoral immune response and FcγRIIB on germinal … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Statistical Procedures for Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Domestic Animal PopulationsM. R. Nassiry, A. Javanmard, Reza TohidiProblem statement: A wide range of studies for the assessment of genetic diversity in livestock breed were conducted using genetic distance. For high-accuracy and unbiased estimation sampling methods, criteria of choosing type of DNA markers, distance measurement strategies, cluster analysis will be important for any genetic diversity projects. Approach: Main objective of this short review is focusing on application statistical … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Bovine Calpastatin Gene in Nelore Cattle Using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restricted Fragment Length PolymorphismsAlireza Majidi, Jothi Malar Panandam, Awis Qurni Sazili, Siti Shapor SirajProblem statement: In beef cattle production, of meat quality and carcass traits are important. Traditionally beef cattle breeding programs unfortunately are time consuming and also recording of carcass and growth traits need heavy cost, Approach: Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) should be utilized in beef herds, along with economically important phenotypic traits, for genetic progress to made with respect to improving … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity of Red Chittagong Cattle Using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA MarkersMohammad Masud Rana Mufti, Mst. Parvin Mostari, Gautam Kumar Deb et al.Problem statement: Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) is a potential genetic resource in Bangladesh having dairy potentialities, high resistance to disease and survive harse environmental condition while require low input supply. This resource is now disappearing due to indiscriminate crossing with other local and exotic cattle. To conserve this resource, find out the genetic diversity of RCC is prime concern.
