Association between C1q gene polymorphisms and autoimmune thyroid diseases

ABSTRACT Objective In the present study, we aimed to assess the associations of C1q gene polymorphisms with autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) susceptibility. Subjects and methods A set of 1,003 AITD patients (661 with Graves' disease and 342 with Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and 880 ethnically- and geog...

A family-based association study of the HTR1B gene in eating disorders

Objective: To explore the association of three polymorphisms of the serotonin receptor 1Dβ gene (HTR1B) in the etiology of eating disorders and their relationship with clinical characteristics. Methods: We analyzed the G861C, A-161T, and A1180G polymorphisms of the HTR1B gene through a family-based...

Association between microRNA single nucleotide polymorphisms and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma

Rev. méd. Chile; 144 (4), 2016
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high morbidity and mortality. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of microRNA (miRNA) may be associated with the susceptibility to develop certain malignant tumors. Aim: To study the association between SNPs of miRNA and hepatocellular carcinoma in peri...
