SNP@Promoter: a database of human SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) within the putative promoter regions [PDF]
Background Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is becoming a key research in genomics fields. Many functional analyses of SNPs have been carried out for coding regions and splicing sites that can alter proteins and mRNA splicing.

Genetic variability in the precore and core promoter regions of hepatitis B virus strains in Karachi [PDF]
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes have distinct geographic distribution. Moreover, much genetic variability has been described in the precore (PC) and basal core promoter (BCP) regions of the HBV genome.

Genetic effect of an InDel in the promoter region of the NUDT15 and its effect on myoblast proliferation in chickens [PDF]
Abstract Background Molecular breeding accelerates the speed of animal breeding. Screening molecular markers that can affect economic traits through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding.

Genetic variant in theHSPB1 promoter region impairs the HSP27 stress response [PDF]
The 27 kDa heat shock protein 1 (HSP27) is a member of the ubiquitously expressed small heat shock protein family and has pleiotropic cytoprotective functions. Since HSP27 may act as a motor neuron survival factor, we analyzed the genetic contribution of the human HSPB1 gene (HSPB1) to the etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a cohort of

Clinical Implications of Genetic Variation in the Serotonin Transporter Promoter Region [PDF]
To determine the state of the art in understanding the role of genetic variation in the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) promoter region (5-HTTLPR) in the development of a depressive episode and in its response to treatment.PubMed and Ovid were used to search for articles published prior to December 2007 utilizing the key words serotonin transporter, 5 ...

Genetic analysis of the promoter region of the Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase gene [PDF]
The amyR2 allele of the Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase cis-regulatory region enhances production of amylase and transcription of amyE, the structural gene, by two- to threefold over amyR1. The amylase gene bearing each of these alleles was cloned on plasmids of about 10 to 15 copies per chromosome. Transcription of the cloned amylase gene by each amyR

Mutations in the ATG genes have been related to impair autophagic function, contributing to the sporadic onset of Parkinsońs Disease (PD). However, scarce studies have been performed about ins/del within the regulatory domains of the autophagy genes in sporadic PD patients. This study was aimed to found ins/del within part of the crucial core autophagy

Genetic Variants in the Promoter Region of miR-10b and the Risk of Breast Cancer [PDF]
Variants in microRNA genes may affect their expression by interfering with the microRNA maturation process and may substantially contribute to the risk of breast cancer. Recent studies have identified miR-10b as an interesting candidate because of its close association with the metastatic behavior of breast cancer. However, the roles of miR-10b-related
