A redescription of Astyanax gymnodontus (Eigenmann, 1911), new combination, a polymorphic characid fish from the rio Iguaçu basin, Brazil

Neotrop. ichthyol; 7 (4), 2009
Astyanax gymnodontus (Eigenmann, 1911), new combination, a polymorphic characid fish endemic to the Rio Iguaçu basin in Southern Brazil, is redescribed. The species was originally described as belonging to the monotypic genus Psalidodon, distinguished from Astyanax by the possession of a single series o...

Chromosome polymorphism in Ancistrus cuiabae Knaack, 1999 (Siluriformes: Loricariidae: Ancistrini)

Neotrop. ichthyol; 7 (4), 2009
Cytogenetic and FISH analyses were performed in 30 Ancistrus cuiabae specimens from a bay near the town of Poconé, in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The observed diploid number was 2n = 34 chromosomes for both sexes and three distinct katyotypic formulae were found, namely cytotype A (20m, 8sm, 6s...

Genetic variability in three species of Gymnotus Linnaeus, 1758 (Gymnotiformes: Gymnotidae) from Caracu stream of the upper Paraná River basin, Brazil

Neotrop. ichthyol; 7 (4), 2009
The genetic variability of three Gymnotus species from the Caracu stream, a small tributary of the left margin of Paraná River (Brazilian upper Paraná River floodplain), was estimated with data of 17 putative allozyme loci, which were obtained by using corn starch gel electrophoresis of 10 enzymatic sy...

Correlation of IL-6 and IL-10 production following bone marrow transplantation with donor cytokine gene polymorphisms

Several candidate gene studies have demonstrated that genetic polymorphisms in cytokine genes contribute to variations in the levels of cytokines produced and this variation may influence the occurrence and severity of complications after stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In this work we compared the ser...

Frecuencia del polimorfismo Gly1057Asp del gen IRS-2 en un grupo de la población cubana, y su relación con la diabetes mellitus 2 y el sobrepeso
Frequency of Gly105Asp polymorphism of the IRS-2 gene in a group of the Cuban population: its relation to Type 2 diabetes mellitus and the overweight

Rev. cuba. endocrinol; 19 (3), 2008
La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es una de las epidemias de mayor impacto a nivel mundial. La susceptibilidad genética constituye un importante factor de riesgo en ella, que se adiciona al efecto de los factores ambientales y al modo de vida. Explorar el papel del polimorfismo Gly1057Asp del gen IRS-2 en la ...

Genetic polymorphisms of glutathione s-transferase mu1 and theta1 in patients with acquired aplastic anemia: a Brazilian experience

The causes of acquired aplastic anemia (AAA) include immunologic mechanisms and oxidative DNA damage. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) plays an important role in detoxification. In humans, GST genes encode four main clones: alpha (A), mu (M), pi (P) and theta (T). Among GST genes, GST M1 and T1 have null ...

Polimorfismo do gene tp53 no códon 72 em pacientes com suspeita de LMC
Codon 72 polymorphism of the TP53 gene in patients suspected to have CML

A leucemia mielóide crônica (LMC) é uma doença proliferativa do sistema hematopoiético, caracterizada pela expansão clonal de uma célula-tronco primitiva e pluripotente denominada stem cell. Este tipo de leucemia está associado, em 90 por cento dos casos, à translocação t(9;22)(q34;q11). Essa ...

Associação entre os polimorfismos HaeIII e MspI do gene para o receptor alfa de estrogênio e densidade mamográfica em mulheres após a menopausa
Association between HaeIII and MspI polymorphisms of estrogen receptor alpha gene and mammographic density in post-menopausal women

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a presença dos polimorfismos HaeIII e MspI do gene para o receptor de estrogênio alfa, bem como fatores clínicos e suas possíveis associações com a densidade mamográfica em mulheres após a menopausa. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliadas 115 mulheres após a menopausa, não usuárias de ter...
