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 ...
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 GABRA6 1519 T>C (rs3219151) and Synapsin II (rs37733634) gene polymorphisms with the development of idiopathic generalized epilepsy
(Elsevier, 2014)
The idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) is a neurological disorder which accounts for approximately 30% of all epilepsy cases. Patients identified with IGE syndromes have pharmacoresponsive epilepsies without abnormal ...
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 ...
Oxidative stress in the development of genetic generalised epilepsy: An observational study in southern Indian population
(Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017)
Introduction: Oxidative stress resulting from excessive generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) plays a significant role in neurodegeneration associated with seizures/epilepsy. Aim: To evaluate oxidative stress markers ...
PPARG and ADIPOQ gene polymorphisms increase type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in Asian Indian Sikhs: Pro12Ala still remains as the strongest predictor
(2010)
We have examined the association of 14 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-? transcripts 1 and 2 (PPARG1 and 2) and 5 tagSNPs in adiponectin (ADIPOQ) genes for ...
Role of TLR4 (C1196T) and CD14 (C-260T) Polymorphisms in Development of Ischemic Stroke, Its Subtypes and Hemorrhagic Stroke
(Springer New York LLC, 2017)
In the present study, we evaluated the association of TLR4 and CD14 polymorphisms, i.e. C1196T and C-260T, respectively, with ischemic stroke (n?=?700), its subtypes and hemorrhagic stroke (n?=?300) in a South Indian ...
Variants in KCNQ1 increase type II diabetes susceptibility in South Asians: A study of 3,310 subjects from India and the US
(2011)
Background: Polymorphisms in intron 15 of potassium voltage-gated channel, KQT-like subfamily member 1 (KCNQ1) gene have been associated with type II diabetes (T2D) in Japanese genome-wide association studies (GWAS). More ...
Genome-wide association study identifies a novel locus contributing to type 2 diabetes susceptibility in Sikhs of Punjabi origin from India
(American Diabetes Association Inc., 2013)
We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and a multistage meta-analysis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Punjabi Sikhs from India. Our discovery GWAS in 1,616 individuals (842 case subjects) was followed by in silico ...
