Evaluation Of Association Of Folic Acid Metabolism In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(Central University of Punjab, 2018)COPD is characterized by increasing breathlessness. It is the fourth cause of death in the world and it is currently presenting a major global public health challenge, causing premature death from pathophysiological ... -
Meta-analysis and estimation of gene expression to establish the role of SFTPD in COPD
(Central University of Punjab, 2018)COPD is considered to be third leading cause of death by 2020. So far, there is no proper biomarker available for the diagnosis of all the different sub-phenotypes. Multiple GWAS studies have reported the role of SFTPD ... -
Serum homocysteine could be used as a predictive marker for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A meta-analysis
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)Background: Serum homocysteine (Hcy) level is inversely related with concentration of folic acid, which is an essential micronutrient for metabolism and energy homeostasis. Serum concentrations of Hcy have been reported ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis confirms significant contribution of surfactant protein D in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)Background: Surfactant protein D (SFTPD) is a lung specific protein which performs several key regulatory processes to maintain overall lung function. Several infectious and immune mediated diseases have been shown to be ... -
Systematic review and meta-analysis to establish the association of common genetic variations in Vitamin D binding protein with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)Background: Vitamin-D binding protein (DBP) also known as GC protein, is a major determinant for vitamin- D metabolism and transport. GC1F, GC1S, and GC2 are the three allelic variants (denoted as rs4588 and rs7041) of GC, ...
