Elastin genetic point mutation and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse
Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors ...

Types of 23S Ribosomal RNA Point Mutations and Therapeutic Outcomes for Helicobacter pylori
Background/Aims: Point mutations in the 23S ribosomal RNA gene have been associated with Helicobacter pylori clarithromycin resistance. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of these point mutations and to investigate the role of different point ...

OsCIPK7 point-mutation leads to conformation and kinase-activity change for sensing cold response.
Calcineurin B-like interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) play important roles via environmental stress. However, less is known how to sense the stress in molecular structure conformation level.
