Association Between Genetic Variants on Chromosome 15q25 Locus and Objective Measures of Tobacco Exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1051730 and rs16969968, located within the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene cluster on chromosome 15q25 locus, are associated with heaviness of smoking, risk for lung cancer, and other smoking ...

Lack of association between VNTR polymorphism of dopamine transporter gene (SLC6A3) and schizophrenia in a Brazilian sample Ausência de associação entre o polimorfismo VNTR do gene do transportador de dopamina (SLC6A3) e esquizofrenia em uma população brasileira

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2004
A role of dopaminergic dysfunction has been postulated in the aetiology of schizophrenia. We hypothesized that variations in the dopamine transporter gene (SLC6A3) may be associated with schizophrenia.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Common Genetic Variation Near the Phospholamban Gene Is Associated with Cardiac Repolarisation: Meta-Analysis of Three Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To identify loci affecting the electrocardiographic QT interval, a measure of cardiac repolarisation associated with risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, we conducted a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWAS ...

Lack of association between the G681C polimorphism in the 5-HT1Dbeta autoreceptor gene and schizophrenia Ausência de associação entre o polimorfismo G861C do gene do auto-receptor 5-HT1Dbeta e esquizofrenia

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2005
A major role of the serotonergic system has been hypothesized in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, mostly based on the evidence of action of atypical antipsychotics.

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Genome-wide association study of major depressive disorder: new results, meta-analysis, and lessons learned [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common complex disorder with a partly genetic etiology. We conducted a genome-wide association study of the MDD2000+ sample (2431 cases, 3673 screened controls and >1 M imputed single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)).

Conservation of Animal Genetic Resources in the Danubian Valley

open access: yesScientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The overall aim of gene conservation is the preservation of animal genetic resources (AnGR). Since the well balanced, diverse and healthy supply of food is a major element of the national food sovereignty, hence successful animal production is not ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Genetic analysis of production, immunity and behaviour in laying hens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The new regulations about the husbandry of laying hens and the so-called genomic revolution offer both opportunities and challenges for the breeding of layers. Hens are currently housed mainly in battery cages of 4 individuals each.
