Genetic Variants in the Promoter Region of the IGF-I Gene as a Reason for Short Stature
Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2006DNA obtained from the blood cells of 88 adolescent patients with short stature, with low blood serum IGF-I concentrations, normal growth hormone (GH) secretion and normal GH receptor (GHR) structure, was analyzed in the promoter region for the IGF-I gene. A total of 24 genetic variants was detected in the DNA of 13 patients. An attempt was also made to

Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are the most common type of congenital heart diseases (CHDs). To date, the genetic causes for sporadic VSDs remain largely unknown. GATA transcription factor 4 (GATA4) is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is expressed in developing heart and adult cardiomyocytes.

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2020
Genome wide association study has identified chromosome 6p21.33 as a risk locus of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MiR-877 is located on this region, functioning as a tumor suppressor. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between rs1264440 in the promoter of miR-877 and HCC risk.A total of 352 HCC patients and 359 age, gender ...

Leptin is a hormone expressed mainly in white adipose tissue. It acts on satiety centers in the hypothalamus, and by binding to particular receptor OB-Rb, plays a crucial role in controlling appetite, body weight, fat amount and total energy balance. In this study, a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), i.e., SNP G-2863A, was identified in the ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the interethnic differences of four CYP1A2 drug metabolizing enzyme variants. A total of 404 Roma and 396 Hungarian healthy subjects were genotyped for -163C>A, -729C>T, -2467delT and -3860G>A variants of CYP1A2 by RT-PCR and PCR-RFLP technique.

A Genetic Variant in the Promoter Region of Toll-Like Receptor 9 and Cervical Cancer Susceptibility
DNA and Cell Biology, 2012The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important for the innate immune system by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns expressed in infectious agents. E6 and E7 protein from HPV16 suppress the host immune response by regulating the TLR9 transcript.

Krüppel-like factor 3 (KLF3), a member of the Krüppel-like factor (KLF) family, plays an important role in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate whether KLF3 could be used as a candidate gene in the breeding of cattle. The expression pattern of bovine KLF3 gene revealed that it was highly expressed in abdominal fat

The nucleotide sequence of the promoter distal region of the major operon associated with biosynthesis of TCP, the toxin coregulated pilus of Vibrio cholerae has been determined. The genes tcpR, tcpD, tcpS, tcpT, tcpE and tcpF are organized to permit translational coupling and are followed by an inverted repeat structure which is likely to act as a ...

BLOOD COAGULATION & FIBRINOLYSIS, 1998
Evidence suggests that an allelic variation in the beta fibrinogen gene may confer an increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. The role of the beta fibrinogen gene polymorphism and fibrinogen levels in ischemic stroke has not been determined in Japanese, who are more prone to stroke than to coronary artery disease compared with Caucasians.
