Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGoats’ Litter Size Concerning Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 Gene VariationsTebogo Letsukulo Percy Thepa, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Jones Ng’ambiBone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, plays essential roles in follicular development and ovulation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the BMP15 gene have been associated with litter size in multiple livestock species, yet no comprehensive systematic review has synthesized findings across goat breeds. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 18 Feb 2026 · 1,405 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Plasma Amyloid-Beta and Apolipoprotein E Genotypes as Markers of Alzheimer’s Disease in Healthy Korean AdultsEun Ju Oh, Jung Jae Lee, Bo Kyeung Jung, Jae Kyung KimThe presence of the ApoE4 allele interferes with human Amyloid-Beta (Aβ) clearance and reduces the neuronal damage response, which, in turn, is associated with increased Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) risk. Identifying individuals with the highest genetic risk may aid clinical AD diagnosis and prognosis. However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has performed blood-based analysis of ApoE polymorphisms … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2024 · 4,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWild Allium longicuspis Regel is a Feral Form of Allium sativum L. in Kazakhstan: A Comparative Molecular Genetic AnalysisAkerke Tokenova, Gulnar Sitpayeva et al.The genus Allium L comprises over 1000 species with important nutritional, medicinal and horticultural applications. The natural flora of Kazakhstan is rich in Allium species, including the wild long-pointed onion, A. longicuspis and cultivated A. sativum garlic varieties. It has been hypothesized that A. longicupis is ancestral to A. sativum. We investigated genetic polymorphism in samples of A. longicupis and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2022 · 6,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlutathione S-transferase (T1 & M1) Null Genotypes as Risk Determinants in Sudanese for Developing Type Two Diabetes MellitusGaafar Mahmoud, Hisham Mohamed Abdelrahim, Abed Al Salam Aljahmany, Eltayeb Mohamed Ahmed TayrabGlutathione S-transferases (GSTT1 and GSTM1) are globular proteins responsible for the detoxification of xenobiotics and the prevention of oxidative damage. Functional polymorphisms of the antioxidant glutathione and enzymes have a role in the pathogenicity of T2DM and its complications. The present study is aimed to assess association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 genetic polymorphisms with T2DM in Sudanese people. This case-control … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 16 Oct 2020 · 6,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Mutations in Drug Resistant Clinical Isolates from Southwest MexicoMartínez-Cruz Perla Mónica, Nakamura-López Yuko, Quintero-Hernández Verónica et al.Mutations in target genes have been described in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBc) drug resistant isolates worldwide. In Mexico, not enough information has been reported in this concern. The aim of this study was to characterize mutations related to resistance to first line drugs in MTBc isolates from Oaxaca, Mexico. MTBc isolates were identified in clinical samples from Tuberculosis (TB) patients. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity and Drug Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Isolates and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Identification from Presumptive Tuberculosis Cases in Oaxaca, MexicoNakamura-Lopez Yuko, Valencia-Carmona Oscar Daniel, Martinez-Cruz Perla Monica et al.Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging health problem worldwide. In Mexico, information about genetic diversity and drug resistance of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex (MTBc) is limited. Samples from 463 Presumptive TB cases were tested for TB by smear, culture and PCR, from which 19.2% were identify as MTBc and 16% as nontuberculous mycobacteria. MTBc isolates were characterized by Large Sequence Polymorphisms (LSPs), … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2020 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForensic Relationship between ATP6 Gene and Sperm Motility in a Saudi PopulationSafa A.M. Elsanousi, Murid Javed, Hamad Sufyan, Sayed A.M. AmerApproximately 600 bp of ATP synthase subunit 6 mitochondrial gene (ATP6) were amplified and sequenced for 110 semen samples collected from infertile and normal Saudi men inhabiting Riyadh province. These data were analyzed in order to identify the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with male infertility. Six silent substitutions G8697A, G8856A, T8889C, T8952C, C9075T and C9060A were recorded with one … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
