Assessment of gene-by-sex interaction effect on bone mineral density
(2012)Sexual dimorphism in various bone phenotypes, including bone mineral density (BMD), is widely observed; however, the extent to which genes explain these sex differences is unclear. To identify variants with different effects ... -
Association between the GLUT1 gene polymorphism and the risk of diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis
(2005)The association between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the XbaI polymorphism in the GLUT1 gene has been investigated in several case-control studies. These studies rendered contradictory results: the allele XbalphaI(-) was ... -
Association Between the Interleukin-1 beta Gene (IL1B) C-511T Polymorphism and the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes: A Candidate-Gene Association Study
(2014)Variants of the interleukin-1 beta gene (IL1B) are implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present candidate-gene association study was conducted to investigate the association between the IL1B ... -
Association of a nsSNP in ADAMTS14 to some osteoarthritis phenotypes
(2009)Objective: To investigate the effect in OA (Osteoarthritis) susceptibility of putative damaging changes in ADAM (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease) and ADAMTS (ADAM with ThromboSpondin motif proteases. Methods: Non-synonymous ... -
Association of interleukin-1A, interleukin-1B and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene polymorphisms with multiple myeloma
(2007)Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a cytokine involved in the maturation and proliferation of B cells and plays a significant role in the development of lytic bone lesions, a major clinical feature of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. ... -
Association of paraoxonase 1 gene polymorphisms with risk of Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis
(2004)Paraoxonase1 (PON1) gene polymorphisms were implicated as risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD), but the results of case-control studies that investigated these associations were controversial. In order to provide an ... -
Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta (ESR1, ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with the occurrence of breast cancer
(2008)Genetic variation in genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in breast cancer. To determine the possible contribution of genetic variation in the ESR1 ... -
Association of the CALM1 core promoter polymorphism with knee osteoarthritis in patients of Greek origin
(2008)Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by focal areas of loss of articular cartilage in synovial joints, associated with varying degrees of osteophyte formation, subchondral bone change, and synovitis. The Calmodulin ... -
Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha gene polymorphism (-308) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome
(2012)Background and Aim: Elevated serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentration and a polymorphism of the TNF-alpha gene at the position -308 in the promoter region are associated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea ... -
Characteristics of Meropenem Heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC)-Producing Clinical Isolates of K-pneumoniae
(2010)Meropenem heteroresistance was investigated in six apparently meropenem-susceptible, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) clinical isolates, compared with that in carbapenemase-negative, ... -
Clinical and pathological responses of pigs from two genetically diverse commercial lines to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
(2009)The response to infection from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) for 2 genetically diverse commercial pig lines was investigated. Seventy-two pigs from each line, aged 6 wk, were challenged with ... -
Collaborative analysis of alpha-synuclein gene promoter variability and Parkinson disease
(2006)Context Identification and replication of susceptibility genes for Parkinson disease at the population level have been hampered by small studies with potential biases. alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) has been one of the most promising ... -
Common genetic variation in the Estrogen Receptor Beta (ESR2) gene and osteoarthritis: results of a meta-analysis
(2010)Background: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between common genetic variation of the ESR2 gene and osteoarthritis. Methods: In the discovery study, the Rotterdam Study-I, 7 single nucleotide ... -
Effect of angiotensin converting enzyme gene I/D polymorphism and its expression on clinical outcome in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(2013)Background. The role of the D allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism in the clinical outcomes of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) remains ... -
Efficacy and adherence ratio of diatomaceous earth and spinosad in three wheat varieties against three stored-product insect pests
(2010)Laboratory tests were carried out in order to evaluate the efficacy of three diatomaceous earth (DE) formulations; Protector, SilicoSec, and Insecto, and one spinosad dust formulation in three commercially available wheat ... -
Efficacy of a Combination of Beta-Cyfluthrin and Imidacloprid and Beta-Cyfluthrin Alone for Control of Stored-Product Insects on Concrete
(2013)The insecticidal effect of Temprid, a formulation that contains beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid, was tested on concrete for control of seven stored-product insect species: the rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus ... -
