To investigate cold-induced autoinflammatory syndrome 1 (CIAS1) gene polymorphisms that cause autoinflammatory diseases in patients with nasal polyposis (NP). Materials and methods: The study included 30 patients diagnosed with NP and 30 healthy age-matched individuals as a control group. CIAS1 polymorphisms were assessed by DNA sequence analysis. Patients with nasal polyps and the control group were compared in terms of gene polymorphisms. Each of the 8 polymorphisms of the CIAS1 gene was analyzed separately in the patient group. Results: The most frequently observed polymorphisms in the patient group were c.732G > A in 83%, c.663C > T in 23%, and c.1308C > A …
Cyp 2d6*4 Polymorphism And Interindividual Response Variation To Metoprolol Instage 1 Hypertensive Patients: No Association In A Rural Indian Population?, Rajagopal Ayyappadhas, Unnikrishnan Dhanalekshmi, Chelliah Jestin

Background/aim: Genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 shows diverse pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variation. Therefore, the present work was designed to study the variation in therapeutic responses to metoprolol (MP) in stage 1 hypertensive patients and also aims to verify the association of CYP2D6*4 polymorphism and response variation in an Indian population for the first time. Materials and methods: Clinically, a total of 119 hypertensive patients and 116 healthy individuals as controls were included. Patients were treated with MP extended release 25 mg tablets once daily for 2 weeks. Reduction in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate were recorded before …

Background/aim: A number of genetic variants from different genes have been reported to be related to late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD) susceptibility. From these genes, polymorphisms in CLU and TLR2 have been replicated in several studies. In this study we examined the association of rs11136000 in CLU and the TLR2 -196 to -174 del polymorphism with the risk of LOAD in a northwestern Iranian population. Materials and methods: We conducted a case-control study with a dataset of 160 LOAD patients and 163 healthy controls. To examine polymorphisms of CLU and TLR2 in LOAD we used the PCR/RFLP method and genotype frequencies …

Background/aim: Alzheimer disease (AD) is triggered by interactions of multiple genetic and environmental factors. The APOE gene E4 allele is the best-known risk factor for AD, yet it represents a small ratio of genetic factors. According to genome-wide association studies, the BIN1 gene is the second important risk factor for AD, following the APOE gene. We aimed to identify a novel biomarker indicating susceptibility to AD by investigating APOE alleles and BIN1 gene polymorphisms in a Turkish population. Materials and methods: Fifty-three AD patients and 56 controls were included to examine polymorphism and allele frequency of the APOE and BIN1 …

Background/aim: Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of senile plaques composed of amyloid β-peptide, which is derived from β-amyloid precursor protein through degradation by β-secretase and γ-secretase complexes. One of the major components of γ-secretase complex, anterior pharynx-defective-1 (APH-1), is responsible for the activity of the γ-secretase complex. In this study, we searched for not only the most known common genetic risk factor, APOE, but also the APH-1a gene polymorphism in AD patients in a Turkish population. Materials and methods: In this study, 49 AD patients and 45 healthy controls were included. The genetic polymorphisms and allele frequencies …
