In this issue, Gryshchenko et al 1 report that a known single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter region of MDM2 is associated with treatment-free and overall survival in chronic lymphocytic ...

Human α-adducin gene is mapped to chromosome 4p16.3 and comprises 16 exons. Animal models using the Milan hypertensive rat strain suggested that the α-adducin point mutation could affect renal sodium ...

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers reported the association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs9984273 in the interferon-alpha/beta receptor (IFNAR2) gene ...

Several reports have found a relation between polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) and the development of type 1 diabetes. We have examined the ...

1982 The Human Polymorphism Study Center, the first academic institution to propose the systematic study of polymorphisms, is founded in Paris. Its primary objective: to make an inventory of all ...

Background: The measles virus (MV) interacts with two known cellular receptors: CD46 and SLAM. The transmembrane receptor CD209 interacts with MV and augments dendritic cell infection. Methods: 764 ...

This new study, which will appear in the June 2005 issue of The American Naturalist, asserts that an individual could use his/her genotype as an informative cue when "deciding" which phenotype ...

Traditionally, chromosome polymorphisms have been considered normal variants without clinical significance. However, the study is the first to find a significantly higher prevalence of chromosome ...

Your genetic makeup can help determine how well your body will respond to weight loss efforts aimed at controlling high blood pressure, a new study confirms. Your genetic makeup can help determine how ...
