Gene Polymorphisms in Chronic Periodontitis [PDF]
We aimed to conduct a review of the literature for gene polymorphisms associated with chronic periodontitis (CP) susceptibility. A comprehensive search of the literature in English was performed using the keywords: periodontitis, periodontal disease, combined with the words genes, mutation, or polymorphism.

Insulin gene polymorphisms in type I diabetes, Addison's disease and the polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type II [PDF]
Background: Polymorphisms within the insulin gene can influence insulin expression in the pancreas and especially in the thymus, where self-antigens are processed, shaping the T cell repertoire into selftolerance, a process that protects from ß-cell ...

Unifying candidate gene and GWAS Approaches in Asthma. [PDF]
The first genome wide association study (GWAS) for childhood asthma identified a novel major susceptibility locus on chromosome 17q21 harboring the ORMDL3 gene, but the role of previous asthma candidate genes was not specifically analyzed in this GWAS ...

Screening of the transcriptional regulatory regions of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has neurotrophic activity which is mediated by its main agonist receptor, VEGFR2. Dysregulation of VEGF causes motor neurone degeneration in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and

Introduction: Reduced bone density in postmenopausal women is a complex disease with a strong genetic association. Causative factors are both acquired and genetic. Single nucleotide polymorphisms may be associated with genetic predisposition of this condition. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to find out an association between single nucleotide

Gene polymorphism and dyslipidemias
Dyslipidemie to szerokie spektrum zaburzen, charakteryzujące sie nieprawidlowym stezeniem i/lub skladem lipoprotein w surowicy krwi. Objawy te mogą towarzyszyc wtornie innym chorobom, ale najcześciej mamy do czynienia z dyslipidemiami pierwotnymi, bedącymi wynikiem interakcji czynnikow środowiskowych oraz predyspozycji genetycznych.
