A duplex probe-directed recombinase amplification assay for detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms on 8q24 associated with prostate cancer

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (2), 2021
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have important application value in the research of population genetics, hereditary diseases, tumors, and drug development. Conventional methods for detecting SNPs are typically based on PCR or DNA sequencing, which is time-consuming, costly, and requires complex in...

Prevalence and Phenotypic Expression of Mutations in the MYH7, MYBPC3 and TNNT2 Genes in Families with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in the South of Brazil: A Cross-Sectional Study

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (3), 2016
Abstract Background: Mutations in sarcomeric genes are found in 60-70% of individuals with familial forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, this estimate refers to northern hemisphere populations. The molecular-genetic profile of HCM has been subject of few investigations in Brazil, particu...

Resistencia a Hormonas Tiroideas (RHT): Descripción de una nueva mutación

Introducción: La resistencia a hormonas tiroideas (RHT) es un desorden genético de transmisión dominante poco frecuente, caracterizado por una respuesta reducida de los tejidos blanco a las hormonas tiroideas. RHT está ligada al gen del receptor beta de hormona tiroidea (TRβ). El síndrome se id...
