BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the risk of osteoporosis: A meta-analysis
(2006)
A meta-analysis regarding BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and their associations with osteoporosis in females is reported. The meta-analysis involved 14, seven, seven and three ...
Variants of the MTHFR gene and susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children: A synthesis of genetic association studies
(2012)
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a complex disease with genetic background. The genetic association studies (GAS) that investigated the association between ALL and the MTHFR C677T and A1298C gene variants ...
Is catechol-O-methyl transferase 472G/A gene polymorphism a marker associated with alcoholism?
(2011)
Objectives The available published evidence from the genetic association studies on the association between alcoholism and catechol-O-methyl transferase 472G/A gene polymorphism have produced inconclusive results. To ...
Gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor, alpha-2 (GABRA2) variants as individual markers for alcoholism: a meta-analysis
(2012)
Objectives The available evidence from the genetic association studies (GAS) published to date on the association between variants in the GABRA2 gene and alcoholism has produced inconclusive results. To interpret these ...
Variants of the Arachidonate 5-Lipoxygenase-Activating Protein (ALOX5AP) Gene and Risk of Stroke: A HuGE Gene-Disease Association Review and Meta-Analysis
(2009)
Variants of the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene have been implicated as a risk factor for stroke. However, genetic association studies that have examined the association between ALOX5AP gene ...
Polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene in preeclampsia: a candidate-gene association study
(2011)
Background: The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been proposed as a candidate gene for preeclampsia. However, studies so far have produced conflicting results. This study examines the specific role of ...
Thrombophilia and venous thromboembolism in pregnancy: a meta-analysis of genetic risk
(2015)
Three common polymorphic variants, namely Factor V Leiden (FVL), Prothrombin G20210A (PT G20210A) and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) C677T are candidate genes for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pregnancy. We ...
Is there evidence to claim or deny association between variants of the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1 or ABCB1) and inflammatory bowel disease?
(2012)
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disease with a genetic background. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two main types of IBD. There is indication that variants in the MDR1 ...
The role of G196A polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene in the cause of Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis
(2005)
The association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and the G196A polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene has been investigated in several case-control studies, producing contradictory results: one ...
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 ...
