Estudio de las variantes alélicas CYP2C9*2 y CYP2C9*3 en muestras de población mestiza peruana

Biomédica (Bogotá); 39 (3), 2019
Resumen Introducción. El citocromo CYP2C9 metaboliza, aproximadamente, el 15 % de los fármacos prescritos. Su gen presenta alelos cuyas frecuencias difieren entre grupos étnicos y poblaciones. Los alelos CYP2C9*2 y CYP2C9*3 dan cuenta de una enzima con actividad disminuida cuya frecuencia no ha sido ...

Asociación del polimorfismo rs7903146, del gen TCF7L2, con marcadores de adiposidad y metabólicos en población chilena - resultados del estudio GENADIO

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (8), 2019
Background: Type 2 diabetes etiology has a strong genetic component. More than 20 genetic variants have been associated with diabetes and other metabolic markers. However, the polymorphism rs7903146 of the TCF7L2 gene has shown the strongest association. Aim: To investigate the association of TCF7L2 (rs...

TIM-3 genetic variants and risk of Behçet disease in the Iranian population

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (4), 2019
Abstract: Background: Behçet disease is a prototypical systemic autoimmune disease, caused by a complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors. The transmembrane immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3) is a distinct member of the TIM family that is preferentially expressed on Th1 cells a...

Polymorphism of bovine lipocalin-2 gene and its impact on milk production traits and mastitis in Holstein Friesian cattle

Background: Mastitis is one of the most serious diseases of dairy cattle, causing substantial financial losses. While predisposition to reduced somatic cell count in milk has been considered for in cattle breeding programs as the key indicator of udder health status, scientists are seeking genetic marker...

Gac. méd. Méx; 155 (3), 2019
Resumen Introducción: La enfermedad renal crónica representa parte del gasto en salud en general; una potencial etiología es la relacionada con variaciones, ausencia o presencia de algunos alelos del human leucocyte antigen (HLA). Método: Se realizó el análisis de 1965 reportes de HLA sin etiolog...

MTHFR gene polymorphisms in hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism among Jordanian females

ABSTRACT Objective Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is involved in DNA methylation that is associated with autoimmune pathology. We investigated the association between MTHFR genetic polymorphisms at g.677C>T and g.1298A>C and their haplotypes, and the risk of thyroid dysfunction among...

Nutrigenômica como ferramenta preventiva de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis
NUTRIGENOMICS AS A PREVENTIVE TOOL FOR CHRONIC NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

A nutrigenômica representa uma ciência emergente que estuda a relação entre os nutrientes e os genes humanos. Dessa forma, as necessidades de alimentos, compostos bioativos e nutrientes variam entre os indivíduos, por conta dos polimorfismos gênicos, principalmente os de nucleotídeo único, podend...

HLA alleles in renal transplant recipients with nonmelanoma skin cancer in southeastern Brazil

An. bras. dermatol; 94 (3), 2019
Abstract: Background: Renal transplant recipients are submitted to immunosuppression to avoid graft rejection, which makes them susceptible to various conditions. Furthermore, these individuals present malignant tumors more frequently than the general population, including nonmelanoma skin cancer. The i...
