They are limited by low predictive potential and inability to predict which patients are at risk of developing metastatic disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the exon 4 of the KLK2 gene of subjects for changes in its nucleotide sequences (SNPs) and determine the correlation of these changes with serum PSA in an Igbo population of Nigeria. One hundred male subjects aged 40 years and above, who gave their consent, were used for the study. Their PSA determinations were done using ELISA technique while genetic studies were carried out using real-time PCR. tPSA, fPSA, and % fPSA of the subjects ranged between 0.8% - 18.30%, 0.10% - 1.60% and 0.0% - 0.7% respectively. Of the 100 subjects, 28 subjects had tPSA levels above 4.0 ng/ml with a mean of 7.10 (±3.30) ng/ml. Those with tPSA less than 4 ng/ml had a mean of 1.87 (±0.85) ng/m. 15 subjects showed SNPs with a mean tPSA of 6.87 (±4.82) ng/ml while the remaining 85 subjects without SNPs had a mean of 1.86 (±0.80) ng/ml. Results from direct DNA sequencing showed 11 SNPs. Ten subjects are curated in SNP database while one is uncurated. The Chi-square test showed significant association (p = 0.00) between tPSA levels and SNPs mutation (X<sup>2</sup> = 17.35, p = 0.00). A Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated that the positional arrangement of the SNP mutations had no effect on PSA-total or free-values (H (10) = 10.92, p = 0.28;H (10) = 10.07, p = 0.38 respectively). Two SNPs: rs6072 and rs74478031 were associated with elevated PSA levels (p < 0.05). Their presence, therefore, has the potential to serve, in conjunction with raised PSA, as biomarkers of prostate cancer in the study population.展开更多

The results showed that the EPF of wheat × maize cross was controlled by two dominant epistatic genes and polygene with gene effects of 1.95 for the first major gene, 6.69 for the second one and 2.80 for the polygene. The inheritability of major genes was as high as 72.09%, suggesting that the differences in EPF among wheat materials were mainly influenced by genotype. However, non-genetic factors were still important, especially for wheat materials with low EPF.展开更多

Square-wave and triangular-wave electrical stimulation with low or high intensities could increase the plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide, decrease the serum neuron specific enolase and reduce the infarction volume in the brain in rats with cerebral ischemia. There was no significant difference between different wave forms and intensities. The experimental findings indicate that low-frequency electrical stimulation with varying waveforms and intensities can treat acute cerebral ischemia in rats.展开更多

Methods HLA-A, -B, -DRB1 allele and haplotype in the Mongolia ethnic group were investigated based on 93 individuals by PCR- sequence-based typing (SBT) method. Results Twenty-one alleles were detected for HLA-A, 44 for HLA-B, and 26 for HLA-DRB1. The most frequent alleles were HLA-A*2402(0.2097), HLA-B*1302(0.0699), and HLA-DRB1*0701(0.1237). The most common HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotype were A*3001-B*1302-DRB1*0701, A*0101-B*3701-DRB1*1001, followed by the A*0201-B*4601-DRB1*0901, A*2402-B*4801-DRB1*1101, A*2402-B*5201-DRB1*1501, A*3201-B*3503-DRB1*1301, and A*3303-B*5801-DRB1*0301, which were also presented in Chinese populations. Conclusion The data can be used in forensic and paternity tests to estimate the frequency of a DNA profile or anthropologic research. The characteristics of the distribution of HLA alleles revealed that Mongolia ethnic group is characterized by northern Mongolian Chinese.展开更多

A total of 79 individuals were collected for this work. Eighty-nine nucleotides were found to be variable, resulting in 46 haplotypes. Among the nine populations, the population from Kunming shows the greatest level of variability (h = 1.000, π = 0.028), whereas the population from Cbongqing exhibits the lowest level of variability (h = 0.700,π = 0.008). Analysis of molecular variance suggested that of the total genetic diversity, 9.66% was attributable to inter-population diversity and the remainder (90.34%) to differences within populations. A molecular phylogenetic tree constructed using the Neighbor-joining (N J) method showed that the 46 haplotypes were assigned to two clades associated with geographic regions. These results provide basic information for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of this species.展开更多

Two SNPs: rs6072 and rs74478031 were associated with elevated PSA levels (p < 0.05). Their presence, therefore, has the potential to serve, in conjunction with raised PSA, as biomarkers of prostate cancer in the study population.
文摘BACKGROUND Celiac disease(CD)is a multifactorial disease,but genetic factors play a major role in its etiology.It has been known that human leucocyte antigen(HLA)-DQ2/DQ8 haplotypes are one of the most important predisposing genetic factors.The risk of developing CD in first-degree relatives and especially siblings of celiac patients is quite high because of having the same HLA haplotypes.AIM To evaluate the frequency of CD and the distribution of the HLA-DQ2/DQ8 haplotypes in siblings of celiac patients.METHODS Patients with biopsy-proven CD and their siblings were included in the study;those who did not have HLA genotyping were excluded from the study.All siblings were on a gluten-containing diet.The HLA genotyping,tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA antibody test,and total IgA test were performed in all participants.RESULTS A total of 57 celiac patients and their 112 siblings were included in the study.The mean age of celiac patients and siblings were 10.30±3.87 years and 9.90±6.11 years,respectively.HLA-DQ2/DQ8 alleles were detected in 98.2%of patients with CD and 90.2%of siblings of celiac patients.HLA-DQ genotypes were present in all siblings diagnosed with CD.Tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA test was found to be positive in 16 siblings.CD was diagnosed in 12 siblings(10.7%)by intestinal biopsy.CONCLUSION The prevalence of CD was found to be 10.7%in siblings of celiac patients in our study.One-third of the siblings diagnosed with CD were asymptomatic.We detected HLA-DQ alleles in 98.2%of celiac patients and 100%in siblings diagnosed with CD.In addition,1 of the 2 siblings was diagnosed with CD 1 year later and the other 4 years later.Therefore,we suggest that siblings of celiac patients should be followed up with clinical findings as well as HLA analysis and serological examination.Since the risk of developing CD is much higher in asymptomatic siblings,we recommend that siblings should be screened for CD even if they are asymptomatic.

文摘A DH population derived from C49S-87/01Y1-1069 was used to study the inheritance of wheat haploid embryo production frequency(EPF) in wheat × maize cross with the mixed major gene and polygene inheritance model of quantitative traits. The results showed that the EPF of wheat × maize cross was controlled by two dominant epistatic genes and polygene with gene effects of 1.95 for the first major gene, 6.69 for the second one and 2.80 for the polygene. The inheritability of major genes was as high as 72.09%, suggesting that the differences in EPF among wheat materials were mainly influenced by genotype. However, non-genetic factors were still important, especially for wheat materials with low EPF.

文摘Grain weight is one of the key components of wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)yield.Genetic manipulation of grain weight is an efficient approach for improving yield potential in breeding programs.A recombinant inbred line(RIL)population derived from a cross between W7268 and Chuanyu 12(CY12)was employed to detect quantitative trait loci(QTLs)for thousand-grain weight(TGW),grain length(GL),grain width(GW),and the ratio of grain length to width(GLW)in six environments.Seven major QTLs,QGl.cib-2D,QGw.cib-2D,QGw.cib-3B,QGw.cib-4B.1,QGlw.cib-2D.1,QTgw.cib-2D.1 and QTgw.cib-3B.1,were consistently identified in at least four environments and the best linear unbiased estimation(BLUE)datasets,and they explained 2.61 to 34.85%of the phenotypic variance.Significant interactions were detected between the two major TGW QTLs and three major GW loci.In addition,QTgw.cib-3B.1 and QGw.cib-3B were co-located,and the improved TGW at this locus was contributed by GW.Unlike other loci,QTgw.cib-3B.1/QGw.cib-3B had no effect on grain number per spike(GNS).They were further validated in advanced lines using Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR(KASP)markers,and a comparison analysis indicated that QTgw.cib-3B.1/QGw.cib-3B is likely a novel locus.Six haplotypes were identified in the region of this QTL and their distribution frequencies varied between the landraces and cultivars.According to gene annotation,spatial expression patterns,ortholog analysis and sequence variation,the candidate gene of QTgw.cib-3B.1/QGw.cib-3B was predicted.Collectively,the major QTLs and KASP markers reported here provide valuable information for elucidating the genetic architecture of grain weight and for molecular marker-assisted breeding in grain yield improvement.

文摘Rice is sensitive to salinity stress at both the seedling and reproductive stages.The present study used 145 rice genotypes comprising of 100 landraces and 45 advanced breeding lines collected from different regions of India.These genotypes were evaluated in hydroponics under control[electrical conductivity(ECe)~1.2 dS/m]and saline(ECe~10.0 dS/m)environments along with susceptible(IR29)and tolerant(FL478)checks.The stress susceptibility index for eight morphophysiological traits was estimated.Analysis of variance showed significant differences among the genotypes for all the parameters studied in control,stress and relative stress conditions.We identified 3 landraces(Kuttimanja,Tulasimog and IET-13713I)as tolerant and 14 lines as moderately tolerant to salt stress.Strong correlations in the morphological(root and shoot lengths)and physiological traits(shoot Na^(+),Ca^(2+)and Mg^(2+)contents,and Na^(+)/K^(+)ratio)were observed under all the conditions.The hierarchical cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into five clusters,among which cluster Ⅱ comprised salt-tolerant lines.Haplotyping of Saltol region using 11 simple sequence repeat markers on 17 saline tolerant and moderately tolerant lines was conducted.Markers AP3206F,RM10793 and RM3412b,located close to SKC1 gene(11.23‒12.55 Mb),displayed diverse allelic variations and they were not related to the FL478 type.In this region,tolerant lines like Kuttimanja,IET-13713I and Tulasimog have new alleles.As a result,these lines may be suitable candidates for novel genomic regions governing rice salinity tolerance.Salt-tolerance ability of Kuttimanja,Tulasimog and IET-13713I was validated in two years in three salinity stress environments.These promising lines can be used in breeding programs to broaden the genetic base of salinity tolerance in rice,and it may help to dissect key genomic regions responsible for salinity tolerance.

文摘Following acute cerebral ischemia in rats, plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide decreased and the level of serum neuron specific enolase and the volume of the infarction increased. Square-wave and triangular-wave electrical stimulation with low or high intensities could increase the plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide, decrease the serum neuron specific enolase and reduce the infarction volume in the brain in rats with cerebral ischemia. There was no significant difference between different wave forms and intensities. The experimental findings indicate that low-frequency electrical stimulation with varying waveforms and intensities can treat acute cerebral ischemia in rats.

文摘Objective:To analyze the association between Siglec-1 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)in the population of the Luohe area.Methods:A case-control study(150 COPD patients and 150 healthy controls)was conducted to analyze the Siglec-1 allele in two groups of individuals using single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)high-throughput detection technology,and the frequencies of each allele were compared.Results:The frequency of rs611847 heterozygous A/G genotype in COPD patients was significantly lower in females than in healthy controls(OR=0.282,95%CI=0.085-0.938,P=0.039);among smokers,the frequency of rs3859664 and rs6084444 genotypes in COPD patients was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group(OR=2.028,95%CI=1.111-3.704,P=0.021;OR=1.836,95%CI=1.033-3.262,P=0.038).Conclusion:Among the COPD population in the Luohe area,there is a significant correlation between the genotypes of three SNPs loci,rs3859664,rs6084444,and rs611847 and susceptibility to COPD in different subgroups of the population.The rs3859664 A/G-A/A and rs6084444 A/G-G/G genotypes can increase the risk of COPD in smokers;the rs611847 heterozygous A/G genotype can reduce the risk of COPD in both female and smoking populations.

文摘Objective To investigate HLA-A,-B and -DRB1 allele and HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotype frequencies in Mongolia ethnic group. Methods HLA-A, -B, -DRB1 allele and haplotype in the Mongolia ethnic group were investigated based on 93 individuals by PCR- sequence-based typing (SBT) method. Results Twenty-one alleles were detected for HLA-A, 44 for HLA-B, and 26 for HLA-DRB1. The most frequent alleles were HLA-A*2402(0.2097), HLA-B*1302(0.0699), and HLA-DRB1*0701(0.1237). The most common HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotype were A*3001-B*1302-DRB1*0701, A*0101-B*3701-DRB1*1001, followed by the A*0201-B*4601-DRB1*0901, A*2402-B*4801-DRB1*1101, A*2402-B*5201-DRB1*1501, A*3201-B*3503-DRB1*1301, and A*3303-B*5801-DRB1*0301, which were also presented in Chinese populations. Conclusion The data can be used in forensic and paternity tests to estimate the frequency of a DNA profile or anthropologic research. The characteristics of the distribution of HLA alleles revealed that Mongolia ethnic group is characterized by northern Mongolian Chinese.
文摘BACKGROUND Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of panic disorder(PD).However,the effect of genetic variants on PD remains controversial.AIM To evaluate the associations between glutamate decarboxylase 1(GAD1)gene polymorphisms and PD risk and assess the effect of GAD1 gene polymorphisms on the severity of clinical symptoms in PD.METHODS We recruited 230 PD patients and 224 healthy controls in this study.All participants were assessed for anxiety and panic symptom severity using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAM-A)and Panic Disorder Severity Scale(PDSS).GAD1 gene polymorphisms(rs1978340 and rs3749034)were genotyped and assessed for allele frequencies.RESULTS There were no significant differences between cases and controls in the genotype distributions or allele frequencies of GAD1(rs1978340 and rs3749034).In addition,the effect of GAD1(rs1978340 and rs3749034)on PD severity was not significant.However,regarding respiratory symptoms,patients with the GAD1 rs1978340 A/A genotype had significantly higher scores than those with the A/G or G/G genotype.CONCLUSION Here,we showed that the A/A genotype of GAD1 rs1978340 was associated with increased severity of respiratory symptoms in patients with PD.

文摘This study analyzed nueleotide sequences from the mitochondrial eytochrome oxidase submit (COI) gene region (450 bp) to investigate the genetic structure of the oriental river prawn ( Macrobrachium nipponense ) among nine populations from the Yangtze and Lancang Rivers. A total of 79 individuals were collected for this work. Eighty-nine nucleotides were found to be variable, resulting in 46 haplotypes. Among the nine populations, the population from Kunming shows the greatest level of variability (h = 1.000, π = 0.028), whereas the population from Cbongqing exhibits the lowest level of variability (h = 0.700,π = 0.008). Analysis of molecular variance suggested that of the total genetic diversity, 9.66% was attributable to inter-population diversity and the remainder (90.34%) to differences within populations. A molecular phylogenetic tree constructed using the Neighbor-joining (N J) method showed that the 46 haplotypes were assigned to two clades associated with geographic regions. These results provide basic information for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of this species.
