ABSTRACT Background Clonidine and midazolam are routinely used in the pediatric intensive care unit for pain and sedation management, but target concentration and optimal dose are poorly defined for both drugs. The CloSed study is a multicenter, double‐blind, randomized, active‐controlled noninferiority trial with a 1:1 randomization between clonidine ...

Objective To explore the polymorphism of tyrosinase (TYR) and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genes and their mRNA expression levels in relation to coat-color phenotypes in guinea pigs, providing genetic markers for locating dominant traits in guinea pigs.

Who's behind that mask and cape? The Asian leopard cat's Agouti (ASIP) allele likely affects coat colour phenotype in the Bengal cat breed. [PDF]
Coat colours and patterns are highly variable in cats and are determined mainly by several genes with Mendelian inheritance. A 2-bp deletion in agouti signalling protein (ASIP) is associated with melanism in domestic cats. Bengal cats are hybrids between

ABSTRACT The viperid genus Cerastes contains four desert‐adapted species distributed throughout the Saharo‐Arabian arid belt that are typically associated with loose sands. Cerastes boehmei is restricted to one locality in Tunisia and is known only from the holotype.

Background Concomitant primary cutaneous melanoma in monozygotic twins has been reported in only two pairs but in neither of them genetic analysis was performed. Two high-penetrance susceptibility genes, CDKN2A and CDK4 and one low-penetrance gene, MC1R,

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]
The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

α7 nAChR modulates UVB‐induced α‐MSH production during melanogenesis. UVB irradiation induces DNA damage in epidermal keratinocytes, causing upregulation of POMC transcription via the increase of its transcription factor p53, which in turn leads to elevated α‐MSH mastering melanin synthesis in epidermal melanocytes.

Genetic effects on coat colour in cattle: dilution of eumelanin and phaeomelanin pigments in an F2-Backcross Charolais x Holstein population [PDF]
Background: In cattle, the gene coding for the melanocortin receptor 1 (MCIR) is known to be the main regulator of the switch between the two coat colour pigments: eumelanin (black pigment) and phaeomelanin (red pigment).

Epistatic interactions between at least three loci determine the “rat-tail” phenotype in cattle [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The “rat-tail” syndrome (RTS) is an inherited hypotrichosis in cattle, which is exclusively expressed in diluted coloured hair. The affected animals also suffer from disturbed thermoregulation, which impairs their health and growth ...

Melanocortin 1 Receptor: Structure, Function and Regulation
The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is a melanocytic Gs protein coupled receptor that regulates skin pigmentation, UV responses, and melanoma risk. It is a highly polymorphic gene, and loss of function correlates with a fair, UV-sensitive, and melanoma ...
