Associations between common 3435 C > T variants of the multi-drug resistance [MDR-1 (ABCB1)] gene and abdominal aortic aneurysm: a pilot study
(EKIN TIBBI YAYINCILIK LTD STI-EKIN MEDICAL PUBL, 2011)
Background: The aim of the study was to reveal the effect of the C3435T MDR-1 gene polymorphism in AAA, which has been postulated to play a role in the inflammatory process and protection against oxidative stress. Methods: ...
The Presence of PAI-1 4G/5G and ACE DD Genotypes Increases the Risk of Early-Stage AVF Thrombosis in Hemodialysis Patients
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011)
Background: In this study, we investigated the relationship between early arteriovenous fistula (AVF) thrombosis with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and thrombophilic factor gene polymorphisms. Methods: Thirty-five ...
The association between methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism and lung cancer risk
(SPRINGER, 2011)
This study aimed to determine the relation between methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism and lung cancer risk and the frequency of this polymorphism. The study involved 64 lung cancer patients (the ...
Association Between ApoE4 Allele and Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Pilot Study
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2011)
Materials and Methods: We aimed to search the relative frequencies ApoE alleles among patients with DVT and healthy participants. We enrolled 59 consecutive patients with DVT and 59 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. ...
Prevalence of known mutations in the MEFV gene in a population screening with high rate of carriers
(SPRINGER, 2011)
The Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) shows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance and affects certain ethnic groups. Disease is caused by mutations in MEFV gene and more than 180 mutations have been defined in ...
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 ...
CCR2 Polymorphism in Chronic Renal Failure Patients Requiring Long-Term Hemodialysis
(JAPAN SOC INTERNAL MEDICINE, 2011)
Objective A number of chemokines and chemokine receptors are produced by intrinsic renal cells as well as by infiltrating cells during renal inflammation. The CCR2 chemokine receptor mediates leukocyte chemoattraction in ...
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 ...
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 ...
