Prevelance of Common YMDD Motif Mutations in Long Term Treated Chronic HBV Infections in a Turkish Population
(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2013)
In the current study we aimed to show the common YMDD motif mutations in viral polymerase gene in chronic hepatitis B patients during lamivudine and adefovir therapy. Forty-one serum samples obtained from chronic hepatitis ...
Combined point mutations in codon 12 and 13 of KRAS oncogene in prostate carcinomas
(SPRINGER, 2012)
Prostate cancer is a common malignancy that develops by structural mutation(s) and/or other genetic alterations in specific genes.The G to T transversions in codon 12 and C to T transitions in codon 13 of KRAS proto-oncogene ...
Combined Effect of Factor V Leiden, MTHFR, and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (Insertion/Deletion) Gene Mutations in Hypertensive Adult Individuals: A Population-Based Study from Sivas and Canakkale, Turkey
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2011)
Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the world, which is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and angiotensin-converting ...
The Proto-Oncogene KRAS and BRAF Profiles and Some Clinical Characteristics in Colorectal Cancer in the Turkish Population
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2013)
Objectives: The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence and predictive significance of the KRAS and BRAF mutations in Turkish patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: Totally, 53 fresh tumoral ...
Effects of the Chemokine Receptor 5 (CCR5)-Delta32 Mutation on Hepatitis C Virus-Specific Immune Responses and Liver Tissue Pathology in HCV Infected Patients
(KOWSAR PUBL, 2014)
Background: The specific antiviral T cells provide CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) for the immune response during the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Heterogenous and/or homozygous 32 base pair deletion in CCR5 gene (CCR5 ...
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 ...
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 ...
