Authors: J.D. Souza Neto, T.C.B. Soares, L.B. Motta, P.D.S. Cabral and J.A. Silva
We characterized single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) molecular markers from 20 genotypes of Anthurium andraeanum Lind., including 3 from commercial varieties and 17 from 2 communities in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Twenty-four SPAR, consisting of 7 random amplified polymorphic DNA and 17 inter-.. Read More»

Esterase polymorphisms for analysis of genetic diversity and structure of soybean (Glycine max) cultivars
Authors: L.C. Valentini, C.A. Mangolin, S.A.O. Collet and M.F.P.S. Machado
We used native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to identify polymorphism levels in a- and b-esterase loci from leaf tissues of Brazilian soybean cultivars for the analysis of population genetic diversity and structure, and to investigate relationships between conventional and genetically modified cultivars. The cultivars inc.. Read More»

Genetic variability of an endangered Bromeliaceae species (Pitcairnia albiflos) from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest
Authors: R. Domingues, M.A. Machado, R.C. Forzza, T.D. Melo, S. Wohlres-Viana and L.F. Viccini
Pitcairnia albiflos is a Bromeliaceae species endemic to Brazil that has been included as data-deficient in the extinction risk list of Brazilian flora. We analyzed genetic variability in P. albiflos populations using RAPD markers to investigate population structure and reproductive mechanisms and also to evaluate the actual e.. Read More»

Population genetic structure of wild and hatchery black rockfish Sebastes inermis in Korea, assessed using cross-species microsatellite markers
Authors: H.S. An, E.-M. Kim, J.-H. Lee, J.K. Noh, C.M. An, S.J. Yoon, K.D. Park and J.-I. Myeong
The population structure of the black rockfish, Sebastes inermis (Sebastidae), was estimated using 10 microsatellite loci developed for S. schlegeli on samples of 174 individuals collected from three wild and three hatchery populations in Korea. Reduced genetic variation was detected in hatchery strains [overall number of alle.. Read More»

Two novel NPHS1 mutations in a Chinese family with congenital nephrotic syndrome
Authors: L.Q. Wu, J.J. Hu, J.J. Xue and D.S. Liang
Congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (CNF) is a lethal, autosomal recessive disorder mainly caused by mutations in the NPHS1 gene; it is found at a relatively high frequency in Finns. We investigated the disease-causing mutations in a Chinese family with CNF and developed a prenatal genetic diagnosis for their lat.. Read More»

Effects of MMP-1 and MMP-3 gene polymorphisms on gene expression and protein level in lumbar disc herniation
Authors: B. Eser, O. Eser, Y. Yuksel, H. Aksit, E. Karavelioglu, M. Tosun and Z. Sekerci
The aim of this study was to identify the possible correlation between polymorphisms in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-3 and their corresponding protein levels in disctissues obtained from patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) using biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses. Blood and disc samples were obtained from 100 patients with LDH.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci in Aleurodicus dispersus (Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae)
Authors: G.-C. Ma, X. Wu, C.-L. Ma, H.-L. Wu, H.-Y. Hu, L.-M. Niu and Y.-G. Fu
Ten microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized from Aleurodicus dispersus, the spiraling whitefly, an exotic pest species that is considered to be one of the most serious agricultural pests on Hainan Island, China. The polymorphism of these loci was examined in individual whiteflies from Hainan Island and from the .. Read More»

Efficiency of circulant diallels via mixed models in the selection of papaya genotypes resistant to foliar fungal diseases
Authors: M. Vivas, S.F. Silveira, A.P. Viana, A.T. Amaral Jr., D.L. Cardoso and M.G. Pereira
Diallel crossing methods provide information regarding the performance of genitors between themselves and their hybrid combinations. However, with a large number of parents, the number of hybrid combinations that can be obtained and evaluated become limited. One option regarding the number of parents involved is the adoption o..

Common ABCB1 polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to infantile spasms in the Chinese Han population
Authors: L. Dong, M. Mao, R. Luo, Y. Tong and D. Yu
Infantile spasms are a severe epileptic encephalopathy with a variety of etiologies that occur in infancy and early childhood. Subjects with infantile spasms are at a higher risk for evolving into intractable epileptic spasms, tending to be refractory to conventional antiepileptic drugs. Genetic polymorphisms of the P-glycopro.. Read More»

FAS -670A>G promoter polymorphism is associated with soluble Fas levels in primary Sj�¶grenâ��s syndrome
Authors: B.A. TreviÃ?±o-Talavera, C.A. Palafox-SÃ?¡nchez, J.F. MuÃ?±oz-Valle, G. Orozco-Barocio, R.E. Navarro-HernÃ?¡ndez, M. VÃ?¡zquez-Del Mercado, I. GarcÃ?Âa de la Torre and E. Oregon-Romero
Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands. Soluble Fas receptor (sFas) has been suggested as a Fas-mediated apoptosis blocker that could impair clonal deletion in infiltrated autoreactive cells. The FAS -670A>G promoter p.. Read More»
