Response to combination therapy with interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in chronic hepatitis C according to a TNF-alpha promoter polymorphism [PDF]

, 2003
Background. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic active hepatitis C. Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-alpha gene can alter the TNF-alpha expression and modify the host immune response.

Association of PAX3 and TMTC2 gene polymorphism with the face morphology change after excision of skin tumors [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2020
Background/Aim. The group of genes, known as PAX (paired box), has a great role in organogenesis, as well as in maintaining the normal function of certain cells after the birth. In addition to these genes, the impact on the organogenesis, at the cellular

Genetic Polymorphisms

, 2020
Abstract Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to genes and how they work for those without the necessary background or for review. Its emphasis is on the major types of genetic polymorphisms including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), allele and genotype frequencies, and the utility of genetic polymorphisms in studying the ...
