The extensive polymorphism of KIR genes [PDF]

Immunology, 2009
SummaryThe functions of human natural killer (NK) cells are controlled by diverse families of antigen receptors. Prominent among these are the killer cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors (KIR), a family of genes clustered in one of the most variable regions of the human genome.

Association of the AFF3 gene and IL2/IL21 gene region with juvenile idiopathic arthritis [PDF]

, 2010
Recent genetic studies have led to identification of numerous loci that are associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The strategy of using information from these studies has facilitated the identification of novel juvenile idiopathic ...

Association between oxytocin receptor gene polymorphisms and self-rated 'empathic concern' in schizophrenia [PDF]

, 2012
The nonapeptide oxytocin (OXT) and its receptor (OXTR) have been implicated in social cognition, empathy, emotion and stress regulation in humans. Previous studies reported associations between OXT and OXTR genetic polymorphisms and risk for disorders ...

The rpl23 gene and pseudogene are hotspots of illegitimate recombination in barley chloroplast mutator seedlings

Scientific Reports, 2019
Previously, through a TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) approach applied on barley chloroplast mutator (cpm) seedlings a high frequency of polymorphisms in the rpl23 gene was detected.

Associations between IL-1RN variable number of tandem repeat, IL-1β (−511) and IL-1β (+3954) gene polymorphisms and urolithiasis in Uighur children of China

Asian Journal of Urology, 2022
Objective: Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine which may be related to urolithiasis. Genetic polymorphisms of the interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) have been proposed as markers for urolithiasis in some areas.

GENE POLYMORPHISM;

The Professional Medical Journal, 2019
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
