Isolation and Genetic Localization of Three ϕX174 Promoter Regions

Nature New Biology, 1973
SPECIFIC sequences of nucleic acids such as ribosome binding sites1 (W. Gilbert, cited in ref. 2) and portions of the promoter region3,4 have been isolated by protecting those sequences with the relevant protein or organelle and digesting away the exposed nucleic acid. We have isolated specific sequences from the promoter regions in bacteriophage ϕX174

Genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of interleukin-8

International Congress Series, 2003
Abstract In septic patients, local and systemic production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) is augmented, and we and other researchers have previously shown that serum IL-8 levels predict the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and poor prognosis. There is a wide variation in IL-8 levels among septic patients under similar conditions and

Genetic association between interleukin-10 promoter region polymorphisms and primary Sj�gren's syndrome

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2001
To determine whether the haplotypes formed on the basis of single-base-exchange polymorphisms at positions -1082, -819, or -592 of the interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene predispose subjects to primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS).The frequency of IL-10 polymorphisms was analyzed in 62 patients with primary SS and in 400 healthy subjects.

Genetic variation in the promoter region of the basic fibroblast growth factor gene

Human Immunology, 2003
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family that possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and is involved in a variety of biological processes. We investigated possible genetic polymorphism in the promoter and 5' flanking region of the bFGF gene. Polymorphism was analysed by means of heteroduplex

Identification of the promoter region and genetic mutations of the porcine GALP gene

Molecular Biology Reports, 2012
Galanin-like peptide (GALP) gene, encoding a member of the galanin family of neuropeptides involved in reproduction, was differentially expressed in PMSG-hCG stimulated pre-ovulatory ovarian follicles of Chinese Taihu and Large White sows in our previous study.

Genetic Polymorphism in the Serotonin Transporter Promoter Region and Ecological Success in Macaques

Behavior Genetics, 2010
A well-characterised sequence length polymorphism in the serotonin transporter promoter region (5-HTTLPR) influences individual behavioural traits and cognitive abilities in humans and rhesus macaques. Macaques have been classified into four continuous grades on the basis of their behavioural attributes, ranging from highly hierarchical and nepotistic ...

A Genetic Polymorphism in the Promoter Region of DRD4 Associated with Expression and Schizophrenia

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1999
The human dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) is an important candidate gene for schizophrenia. We identified a novel -521C>T polymorphism in the 5'-promoter region of DRD4. A transient expression method revealed that the T allele of this polymorphism reduces the transcriptional efficiency by 40% compared with the C allele.

Genetic analysis of the TBX20 gene promoter region in patients with ventricular septal defects

Gene, 2012
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common human birth defect. The morbidity and mortality of CHD patients are significantly higher than normal population even after surgical correction of cardiac defects, which is likely caused by genetic defects. To date, genetic causes for CHD remain largely unknown.
