Dopamine D2 receptor gene polymorphisms and externalizing behaviors in children and adolescents
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2018)
Background: Dopamine is involved in several cerebral physiological processes, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) have been associated with numerous neurological and mental ...
Genetic polymorphism, molecular characterization and relatedness of Macrobrachium species (Palaemonidae) based on RAPD-PCR.
(2010-12-01)
The prawn genus Macrobrachium belongs to the family Palaemonidae. Its species are widely distributed in lakes, reservoirs, floodplains, and rivers in tropical and subtropical regions of South America. Globally, the genus ...
Kappa-casein gene study with molecular markers in female buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
(2005-12-01)
Caseins comprise make up about 80% of the total protein content of milk and present polymorphism with change in the amino acid sequence. Within this abundance of proteins, kappa-casein is noteworthy, since it has been ...
Analysis of the association of polymorphism in the osteoprotegerin gene with susceptibility to chronic kidney disease and periodontitis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-10-01)
Background and Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex disorder, which results in several complications involving disturbance of mineral metabolism. Periodontal disease is an infectious disease that appears ...
Genetic markers between Biomphalaria glabrata snails susceptible and resistant to Schistosoma mansoni infection
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2002-10-01)
The analysis of the genetic variability related to susceptibility to Schistosoma mansoni infection in the vector of the genus Biomphalaria is important in terms of a better understanding of the epidemiology of schistosomiasis ...
Effects of CSN3 and LGB gene polymorphisms on production traits in beef cattle
(2005-12-01)
The objective of the present study was to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of the CSN3/Hinfl and LGB/HaeIII gene polymorphisms in beef cattle belonging to different genetic groups, and to determine the effects ...
Hemoglobin and HFE gene polymorphisms in Brazilian populations in regions endemic for malaria
(Funpec-editora, 2006-01-01)
Our objective was to determine how the distribution of red blood cell diseases is related to malaria occurrence in north Brazil, a region endemic for malaria. We evaluated the incidence of two mutations in the HFE gene, ...
Evaluation of DNA polymorphisms amplified by arbitrary primers (RAPD) as genetically associated elements to differentiate virulent and non-virulent Paracoccidioides brasiliensis isolates
(2002-07-12)
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of 35 Paracoccidioides brasiliensis isolates was carried out to evaluate the correlation of RAPD profiles with the virulence degree or the type of the clinical manifestations ...
Effects of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the leptin gene on the productive traits of dairy buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
(2013-08-01)
The gene responsible for coding the leptin hormone has been associated with productive and reproductive traits in cattle. In dairy cattle, different polymorphisms found in the leptin gene have been associated with several ...
