Diabetes mellitus types: Key genetic determinants and risk assessment
Authors: Dhilleswara Rao Vana, Dattatreya Adapa, Prasad VSS, Amarendranath Choudhury and Garima Ahuja
The characteristic symptom of diabetes is consistently elevated levels of blood sugar. This is instigated either by complete lack of insulin production (type 1 diabetes), reduced level of insulin production (type 2 diabetes) or insulin resistance (inability of body cells to take up glucose). Other types of diabetes include maturity onset of diabetes of the young (MODY), a form of type 2 diabete.. Read More»

Novel polymorphisms in the PLIN2 gene of Nellore cattle
Authors: Heloisa Defant, Ariana N Meira, Luiz L Coutinho, Luciana CA Regitano, Mirele D Poleti, Gabriel CM Moreira, Marcela Paduan, Pilar Mariani, Adhemar Zerlotini, Gerson B Mourão, Aline SM Cesar
Genetic variations in genes involved in lipid storage, which also may interfere with important phenotypic traits such as intramuscular fat deposition in cattle, can represent useful markers in marker assisted selection programs. An important candidate gene is perilipin 2 (PLIN2) that plays a role in the capture of long chain fatty acids and in the formation and stabilization of lipid d.. Read More»
