Frequencies of 23 functionally significant variant alleles related with metabolism of antineoplastic drugs in the Chilean population: comparison with Caucasian and Asian populations

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2012
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. The cancer incidence rate in Chile is 133.7/100,000 inhabitants and it is the second cause of death, after cardiovascular diseases.

Allelic and genotype frequencies of major CYP2B6 polymorphisms in the Pakistani population

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background Cytochrome P450 (CYP2B6) is an important enzyme that metabolizes about 3.0% of therapeutic drugs. Drugs metabolized mainly by CYP2B6 include artemisinin, bupropion, cyclophosphamide, efavirenz, ketamine, and methadone.

Association between two common polymorphisms (single nucleotide polymorphism -250G/A and -514C/T) of the hepatic lipase gene and coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients

open access: yesAdvanced Biomedical Research, 2016
Background: Variations in the hepatic lipase (HL) gene are the potential candidate for coronary artery disease (CAD) especially in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in diverse populations. We assessed the association of -514C/T and -250G/A polymorphisms in

Investigation of host candidate malaria-associated risk/protective SNPs in a Brazilian Amazonian population. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Brazilian Amazon is a hypo-endemic malaria region with nearly 300,000 cases each year. A variety of genetic polymorphisms, particularly in erythrocyte receptors and immune response related genes, have been described to be associated with ...

Interleukin-1[Alpha] production in periodontal disease: the interaction of bacteria and gene polymorphisms. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
PhDThere is good evidence that interleukin-I alpha (IL-Ia) plays a key role in both the host response to bacteria and the tissue destruction associated with periodontal disease.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Paraoxonase Gene Polymorphisms and Aortic Calcification

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gerontology, 2010
Background: Aortic arch calcification is correlated with the extent of atherosclerosis and is a predictor of future cardiovascular risk. The paraoxonase (PON) gene can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis development.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

CX3CR1 Polymorphisms are associated with atopy but not asthma in German children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Chemokines and their receptors are involved in many aspects of immunity. Chemokine CX3CL1, acting via its receptor CX3CR1, regulates monocyte migration and macrophage differentiation as well as T cell-dependent inflammation.
