abstract：AIMS:Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited disorder caused by mutations in the subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex, leaving phagocytes unable to produce superoxide and thereby unable to kill invading microorganisms. A subgroup of CGD patients (approximately 20%) is reported to have mutations in NCF-...

abstract：:Cowden syndrome (CS), an autosomal dominant disorder, is associated with germline mutations of the PTEN (phosphatase, tensin homolog, deleted on chromosome TEN) gene. PTEN mutations were linked to several human neoplasms. Clinical diagnosis has been based on Consortium criteria, but detection of mutations in the PTEN ...

abstract：AIMS:Genetic testing has become a routine part of prenatal care, the test being offered according to ethnic origin. However, not all clients take the offered tests while others take unnecessary tests. The present study aimed at examining the effects of risk perception, hypochondria, trait anxiety, and attitudes to gene...

abstract：AIMS:Efficient genotyping methods for many biologically significant repeat genetic polymorphisms, particularly in GC-rich regions of the genome, are limited. In particular, a short tandem repeat polymorphism [GGCGGG] in the promoter region of ALOX5 has been implicated as an important marker for inflammatory diseases. W...

abstract：:Current classifications of diabetes distinguish between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, recent evidence highlights overlap between T1D and T2D. In a recent study, we have suggested for the first time that STAT4 gene polymorphism is associated with increased risk for the development of T1D in ...
