High expression of FBP17 in invasive breast cancer cells promotes invadopodia formation
(Humana Press Inc., 2018)
Metastatic spread of the cancer is usually the consequence of the activation of signaling pathways that generate cell motility and tissue invasion. Metastasis involves the reorganization of cytoskeleton and cell shape for ...
Identification of novel translocation between short arm of chromosome 4 and long arm of chromosome 6 in an infertile man using Interphase Chromosome Profiling (ICP)
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
Conventional cytogenetics has always been a favourite to detect chromosomal aberrations. Carriers of chromosomal translocation are often phenotypically normal but are infertile. Couples are often advised to go for karyotyping, ...
Association of serum homocysteine and hs-CRP with idiopathic generalised epilepsy and duration of antiepileptic drug therapy
(Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018)
Introduction: Several human and experimental studies have revealed that chronic inflammation may play a vital role in neurodegenerative processes including epilepsy. There is accumulating evidence that inflammatory processes ...
Immunomodulatory and antibacterial effects of cystatin 9 against Francisella tularensis
(2013)
Cystatin 9 (CST9) is a member of the type 2 cysteine protease inhibitor family, which has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects that restrain inflammation, but its functions against bacterial infections are unknown. ...
Innate Immune Responses and Antioxidant/Oxidant Imbalance Are Major Determinants of Human Chagas Disease
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Background:We investigated the pathological and diagnostic role of selected markers of inflammation, oxidant/antioxidant status, and cellular injury in human Chagas disease.Methods:Seropositive/chagasic subjects characterized ...
Association of APOE (E2, E3 and E4) gene variants and lipid levels in ischemic stroke, its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke in a South Indian population
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2016)
In the present study we evaluated the association of APOE (E2/E3/E4) polymorphism with ischemic stroke (n = 620), its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke (n = 250) in a South Indian population from Telangana. The genotypes ...
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) ...
A low frequency variant within the GWAS locus of MTNR1B affects fasting glucose concentrations: Genetic risk is modulated by obesity
(2012)
Two common variants (rs1387153, rs10830963) in MTNR1B have been reported to have independent effects on fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels with increased risk to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in recent genome-wide association ...
Genome-wide association studies in the Japanese population identify seven novel loci for type 2 diabetes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 80 susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D), but most of its heritability still remains to be elucidated. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis ...
Interleukin 1ß (+3954, -511 and -31) polymorphism in chronic periodontitis patients from North India
(Informa Healthcare, 2015)
Objective. Several studies have implicated the role of interleukin-1 in various chronic diseases including periodontitis. The present study was carried out with an aim to evaluate the role of interleukin 1? polymorphisms, ...
