Clinical features of Mexican patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis type I

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS-I) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency or absence of α-l-iduronidase, which is involved in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). This deficiency leads to the accumulation of GAGs in several organs. Given the wide spectrum of the disease, MPS-I has historically been classified into.. Read More»

Association of TP53 gene codon 72 polymorphism with endometriosis in Mexican women

    M.P. Gallegos-Arreola, L.E. Figuera-Villanueva, A.M. Puebla-Pérez, H. Montoya-Fuentes, A.E. Suarez-Rincon and G.M. Zúñiga-González

The TP53 tumor suppressor gene plays an important role in cell cycle regulation; polymorphisms of this gene have been associated with endometriosis. We examined the role of TP53 codon 72 polymorphism by comparing genotypes of 235 healthy Mexican women (controls with surgically excluded endometriosis) with the genotypes of 151 Mexican women with endometriosis. The ob.. Read More»

Association of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha -308G>A polymorphism with breast cancer in Mexican women

    L. Gómez Flores-Ramos1,2, A. Escoto-De Dios1, A.M. Puebla-Pérez3, L.E. Figuera-Villanueva4, A. Ramos-Silva1,5, R. Ramírez-Patiño1,2, J.I. Delgado-Saucedo3, E. Salas-González6, G.M. Zúñiga-González7, A. Alonzo-Rojo1,2, I. Gutiérrez-Hurtado1,2 and M.P. Gallegos-Arreola1

The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, coagulation, insulin resistance, and endothelial function. Polymorphisms of TNF-α have been associated with cancer. We examined the role of the -308G>A polymorphism in this gene by comparing the genotypes of 294 healthy Mexican women with those.. Read More»
