To perform coagulase gene typing, the repeated units encoding hypervariable regions of the Staphylococcus … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDistribution of Alleles and Genotypes of ACE2 Gene Polymorphisms (rs2285666 and rs35803318) and Association with COVID-19 Among Populations in KazakhstanAnar Bisseneva, Konstantin Li, Gayane Pogossyan, Valeriya ProtasThere is still no definitive confirmation regarding the association between ACE2 gene polymorphisms and COVID-19. This study was conducted to analyze the distribution of alleles and genotypes of the ACE2 gene rs2285666 and rs35803318 two polymorphisms and their possible association with COVID-19 among two ethnic groups, namely, the Kazakhs and Eastern Slavs, residing within the same geographic area in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 1 · 31 Oct 2023 · 4,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Role of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) in Osteoporosis Risk: Gene Polymorphism and Soluble RANKL Level in Indonesia Post-Menopausal WomenLuluk Yunaini, Dwi Anita Suryandari, Linda Kusdhany et al.Hormonal changes in postmenopausal women may increase osteoclastogenesis that can lead to increased risk of osteoporosis. Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) have an important role in osteoclastogenesis that involve in the regulation of bone resorption. In this study, we analyzed the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) within the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2018 · 8,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Role of SLC22A4 Gene Polymorphisms in the Response to Salbutamol in Asthmatic PatientsAlshymaa A. Ahmed, Nora M. Said, Alia A. El Shahaway, Nagwan A. IsmailResponse to Bronchodilators is influenced by many factors including genetics. To evaluate the influence of SLC22A4 gene polymorphisms (rs3792876 and rs2073838) on the response to inhaled salbutamol in asthmatic patients, bronchodilator response was assessed in 180 bronchial asthma patients via measuring changes of the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) after the administration of inhaled salbutamol and genotyping for … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2019 · 7,470 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAssociation of High-Affinity FcεRI-β intron 2 for IgE Gene Polymorphism and Atopic Diseases in an Algerian PopulationDahbia Ines Dahmani, Ikhlass Haj Salem, Jamila Chakir et al.Atopy is characterized by the production of a high level of IgE in response to common allergens. We examined the RsaI-in2 polymorphism of the FcεRI-β gene and its association with atopic asthma and comorbidity. The study population included 77 atopic asthmatics and 77 non-atopic, non-allergic and non-asthmatic controls. Atopic asthma was confirmed by the skin prick test and by IgE … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 1 Nov 2017 · 7,444 accessesView PDFCite
