Estudo de alterações moleculares na neoplasia sólida pseudopapilar do pâncreas
Study of molecular alterations in solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas

INTRODUÇÃO: A neoplasia sólida pseudopapilar do pâncreas (NSPP) é rara e de baixa malignidade. Constitui cerca de 1-2% de todas as neoplasias pancreáticas exócrinas e ocorre principalmente em mulheres jovens. A heterogeneidade intratumoral tem sido descrita em vários tipos de tumor, incluindo a N...

Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Brazil before the whole genome sequencing era: a literature review

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 116 (), 2021
Molecular-typing can help in unraveling epidemiological scenarios and improvement for disease control strategies. A literature review of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in Brazil through genotyping on 56 studies published from 1996-2019 was performed. The clustering rate for mycobacterial intersp...

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...

Polymorphisms in NAT2 (N-acetyltransferase 2) gene in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Rev. bras. reumatol; 56 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate potential associations of four substitutions in NAT2 gene and of acetylator phenotype of NAT2 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and clinical phenotypes. Methods: Molecular analysis of 481C>T, 590G>A, 857G>A, and 191G>A substitutions in the NAT2 gene ...

Clinical characteristics and frequency of TLR4 polymorphisms in Brazilian patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Rev. bras. reumatol; 56 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Objectives: Innate immunity is involved in the physiopathology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), with the participation of Gram-negative bacteria, modulation of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 and the involvement of pattern recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). The aim of t...

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism in psoriasis in southern Turkey

An. bras. dermatol; 91 (5), 2016
Abstract: Background: Psoriasis is a multigenic and multifactorial dermatological disease linked to cardiovascular diseases. Increased levels of homocysteine in patients with psoriasis have been demonstrated in many studies. The most frequently investigated genetic defect that plays a role in homocystei...
