Geographic differences in allele frequencies of susceptibility SNPs for cardiovascular diseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-9 - 2011
Keyue Ding, Iftikhar J Kullo
We hypothesized that the frequencies of risk alleles of SNPs mediating
susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases differ among populations of varying
geographic origin and that population-specific selection has operated on some of
these variants. From the database of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we
selected 36 cardiovascular phenotypes including coronary heart disease,
hypertension, and ... hiện toàn bộ
The C242T polymorphism of the p22-phox gene (CYBA) is associated with higher left ventricular mass in Brazilian hypertensive patientsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-6 - 2011

Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in the physiopathogenesis of
hypertensive end-organ damage. This study investigated the impact of the C242T
polymorphism of the p22-phox gene (CYBA) on left ventricular structure in
Brazilian hypertensive subjects. We cross-sectionally evaluated 561 patients
from 2 independent centers [Campinas (n = 441) and Vitória (n = 120)] by
clinical history, physi... hiện toàn bộ
Genome-wide association study identifies PERLD1 as asthma candidate geneSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-12 - 2011

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for asthma have been successful in
identifying novel associations which have been well replicated. The aim of this
study is to identify the genetic variants that influence predisposition towards
asthma in an ethnic Chinese population in Singapore using a GWAS approach. A
two-stage GWAS was performed in case samples with allergic asthma, and in
control ... hiện toàn bộ
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in obesity-related genes and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a prospective cohort studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-9 - 2009
Lisa Gallicchio, Howard H Chang, Dana K Christo, Lucy Thuita, Han Yao Huang, Paul Strickland, Ingo Ruczinski, Sandra Clipp, Kathy J Helzlsouer
The aim of this study was to examine the associations between 16 specific single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8 obesity-related genes and overall and
cause-specific mortality. We also examined the associations between the SNPs and
body mass index (BMI) and change in BMI over time. Data were analyzed from 9,919
individuals who participated in two large community-based cohort studies
conducted... hiện toàn bộ
The identification and characterization of the p.G91 deletion in CRYBA1 in a Chinese family with congenital cataractsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 1-8 - 2019
Dan Li, Qinghe Jing, Yongxiang Jiang
Mutations in more than 52 genes have been identified in isolated congenital
cataracts, the majority of which are located in crystalline and connexin (gap
junction) genes. An in-frame one amino acid deletion in the beta-crystalline
gene CRYBA1 has been reported in several different Chinese, Caucasian and
Iranian families of congenital cataracts. Further functional studies are needed
to confirm the ... hiện toàn bộ
Common variants in the regulative regions of GRIA1 and GRIA3 receptor genes are associated with migraine susceptibilitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-12 - 2010

Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous
system which acts by the activation of either ionotropic (AMPA, NMDA and kainate
receptors) or G-protein coupled metabotropic receptors. Glutamate is widely
accepted to play a major role in the path physiology of migraine as implicated
by data from animal and human studies. Genes involved in synthesis, metabolism
and reg... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of down-regulated SK3 expressions on Hirschsprung diseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1-5 - 2018
Gunadi, Mukhamad Sunardi, Nova Yuli Prasetyo Budi, Alvin Santoso Kalim, Kristy Iskandar, Andi Dwihantoro
Some Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR) patients showed persistent bowel symptoms
following an appropriately performed pull-through procedure. The mechanism is
presumed to be down-regulated small-conductance calcium-activated potassium
channel 3 (SK3) expression in the HSCR ganglionic intestines. We aimed to
investigate the SK3 expression’s impact in HSCR patients after a properly
performed pull-throug... hiện toàn bộ
