Testing SNPs and sets of SNPs for importance in association studies [PDF]
Biostatistics, 2010 A major goal of genetic association studies concerned with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is the detection of SNPs exhibiting an impact on the risk of developing a disease. Typically, this problem is approached by testing each of the SNPs individually.

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2021 Background. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune cholestatic liver disease with wide ranges of reported incidence and prevalence. Aim. To map the incidence and prevalence of PBC in European countries from 2000 through 2020.

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022 At present, there is no effective way to treat the consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI leads to the death of neural and glial cells and widespread neuroinflammation with persisting for several weeks after the injury.

MicroRNAs, SNPs and Cancer [PDF]
Journal of Nucleic Acids Investigation, 2011 MiRNAs are probable regulators of cell events such as differentiation, propagation and apoptosis. These cellular phenomena are also associated with benign and malignant tumor cells, therefore, it is presumed that miRNAs act as natural oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes.

Specific Urinary Metabolites in Malignant Melanoma
Medicina, 2019 Background and objectives: Melanin, which has a confirmed role in melanoma cell behaviour, is formed in the process of melanogenesis and is synthesized from tryptophan, L-tyrosine and their metabolites.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals an opposite role of SLPI in basal tumors based on metastatic spread, along with shared activation of specific regulons in cancer cells and mature luminal lactocytes, as well as downregulation of MALAT1 and NEAT1 in the latter.

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

No association between nest-box size and breeding parameters in White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) [PDF]
TichodromaNest-box size itself may influence clutch size. In this study, we analysed the variation in clutch size and brood size (number of fledglings at ringing) in relation to nest-box size in the White-throated Dipper.

Electrochemical SNP detection [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Symposium Series, 2006 Detection of mismatched base on a DNA duplex, which is important for the search of the heterozygote, achieved by the comparison with the reactivity of ferrocenylcarbodiimide (1) developed by our group. Mismatched thymine base on the 30-meric DNA duplex as a model of SNPs in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene, could react with 1 in 20 mM borate buffer (pH 8 ...

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...
