An interesting new study published on the preprint server medRxiv* discusses the role of a mucin gene enhancer on the clinical phenotype of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), possibly by ...
Despite global vaccination efforts, COVID-19 continues to pose significant risks, leading to severe complications and fatalities. These risks are driven by disrupted coagulation, impaired fibrinolysis ...
A research team performed a large-scale genome analysis of Japanese and European populations and discovered gene regions (genetic polymorphisms) related to allergic sensitization. Some of these ...
The study found associations between miRNA-499 polymorphism and autoimmune disease risk in Caucasian and Asian populations, including a significantly increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis and ...
Role of UGT1A1, MTHFR AND TS gene polymorphisms in the prediction of irinotecan (CPT11) and raltitrexed (TOM) gastrointestinal toxicity in pre-treated patients (pts) with metastatic colorectal cancer ...
Integrating multiple “omics” analyses, on a triage concept, for effective case selection followed by diagnostic colonoscopy. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2020 Gastrointestinal Cancers ...
The figure illustrates the major categories of genes that may influence susceptibility to dental caries, organized by their biological functions and pathways. These groups include: (1) Enamel ...
In 1980, a landmark paper described restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), a method predateding high volume DNA sequencing, that could be used to identify disease-causing genes. Ray ...
In a recent study published in the journal BMC Nutrition, researchers evaluated the relationship between genetic variations and food choices. Food selection is a multifaceted process impacted by taste ...
