Tissue specific epigenetic silencing of the distinct tumor suppressor genes in lung cancer
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2010)
The role of aberrant methylation of the cytosine-guanine dinucleotide islands in the promoter region of tumor suppressor genes in lung cancer development is increasingly recognized. DNAs extracted from cancer tissue biopsies ...
Evaluation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene mutation in normal rat salivary gland tissue after radioiodine application: An experimental study
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2006)
In this experimental study, investigators explored p53 tumor suppressor gene mutation induced by low and high doses of iodine-131 sodium iodide (I-131) in salivary gland tissue in rats. Group 1 consisted of 10 rats; low ...
A Frame-Shift Mutation in the SLC34A2 Gene in Three Patients with Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis in an Inbred Family
(JAPAN SOC INTERNAL MEDICINE, 2010)
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of small calculi in the alveolar space. The SLC34A2 is thought to be responsible for the disease. We encountered three siblings of an ...
Heterozygous Deletion of Exon 8 in WFS1 Gene in Two Wolfram Syndrome Probands with Hearing Loss: Case Report
(ORTADOGU AD PRES & PUBL CO, 2011)
Point mutations in the Wolfram syndrome 1 gene (WFS1) are attributed the autosomal dominant and/or recessive mild type sensorineural hearing loss in first degree relatives. Total genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral ...
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss and Its Relation to Combined Parental Thrombophilic Gene Mutations
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2012)
Background and Aim: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a heterogeneous disorder that has been associated with antiphospholipid syndrome and other prothrombotic parameters. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of 12 ...
Association between ABCB1 (MDR1) Gene 3435 C > T Polymorphism and Colchicine Unresponsiveness of FMF Patients
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011)
The multidrug resistance gene-1 (MDR1, adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter: ABCB1, P-glycoprotein) encodes membrane proteins that play a crucial role in protecting cells from xenobiotics, chemicals, and ...
The protective effect of MCP-1-2518 A > G promoter polymorphism in Turkish chronic renal failure patients requiring long-term hemodialysis
(SPRINGER, 2015)
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of different types of human renal disease. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of MCP-1 gene -2518 ...
Micronucleus frequencies in groups receiving external or internal radiation
(MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS & MEDIA PVT LTD, 2016)
Objective: In the current study, we aimed to explore whether there is alteration between pre-and post-treatment micronucleus (MN) frequencies induced by internal and external ionizing radiation. Materials and Methods: The ...
The role of apoptosis and protective effect of carnitine in contralateral testicular injury in experimental unilateral testicular torsion
(TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2009)
BACKGROUND We examined the role of programmed cell death (PCD) in the etiology of contralateral testis injury as well as the protective effect of carnitine. METHODS Thirty-six Wistar Albino rats were used in the study. ...
