Association of the genetic variants of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Saudi population
(Humana Press Inc., 2014)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic degenerative disease, phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous, characterized by high levels of glucose and metabolic complications. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) ...
Breast cancer MicroRNAs: Clinical biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment strategies
(Springer India, 2014)
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in females that accounts for the highest cancer-specific deaths worldwide. Although recent advances in clinical management significantly reduced the mortality rate in breast ...
In silico disease models of breast cancer
(Springer India, 2014)
Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease as a consequence of multiple cells and genetic aberrations. It is the second leading cause of death among women in Western countries. It has been reported that approximately ...
Association of Serum Trace Elements and Minerals with Genetic Generalized Epilepsy and Idiopathic Intractable Epilepsy
(Springer New York LLC, 2014)
Certain minerals and trace elements are essential for the development of healthy nervous system. Altered serum levels of these elements may lead to the development of various diseases including epilepsy. The present study ...
Association of -1382A>G CCL11 gene variant with ischemic stroke, its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke in a South Indian population
(Medknow Publications, 2014)
Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the GG genotype is a significant risk factor for ischemic as well as hemorrhagic stroke. Further, the frequency of the GG genotype was observed to be higher in hemorrhagic ...
CRP Gene (1059G>C) Polymorphism and Its Plasma Levels in Ischemic Stroke and Hemorrhagic Stroke in a South Indian Population
(Springer New York LLC, 2014)
In the present study, we evaluated the association of 1059G>C polymorphism in C-reactive protein (CRP) gene with the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. We did not find a significant association of this polymorphism ...
E-selectin gene (S128R) polymorphism in hemorrhagic stroke: Comparison with ischemic stroke
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2014)
Increasing evidence suggests that genetic variation in inflammatory genes plays a pivotal role in pathogenesis of stroke. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association of E-selectin S128R polymorphism with ...
Association of Xmn1 -158 γG variant with severity and HbF levels in β-thalassemia major and sickle cell anaemia
(Springer Netherlands, 2014)
Haemoglobinopathies including ?-thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia (SCA) are considered to be classical monogenic diseases. There is considerable clinical variability between patients inheriting identical ?-globin mutations. ...
Apolipoprotein C3 gene polymorphisms in Southern Indian patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(Springer, 2014)
Aim
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the world today. A previous study has suggested an association of apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) gene variants with the risk of NAFLD in Asian ...
Genetics of idiopathic generalized epilepsy: An overview
(Neurology Society of India, 2014)
Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is a common type of epilepsy. Strong support for a genetic role in IGE comes from twin and family studies. Several subtypes of IGE have been reported but families often have members ...
