Growth Hormone Gene Polymorphism and its Relation to Quail Growth and Carcass by Fatma İlhan

“…In this study, it was aimed to determine the polymorphism of GH (growth hormone) gene in Japanese quails and the relationships between these genes and body weight and carcass traits. 3 genotypes (AA, AB and BB), 2 (A and B) alleles were detected by cutting the GH intron 1 region with restriction enzyme MspI. As a result of variance analysis, it was determined that the hatching weights of the animals with B allele and liver weights were higher. …”

Association between serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms and heroin dependence: a meta-analytic study by Lin PY, Wu YS

“…The purpose of current study is to determine the overall effect of these polymorphisms on the risk for heroin dependence through a meta-analytic method.Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the association of heroin dependence with two common polymorphisms of serotonin transporter gene, in the promoter (5-hydroxytryptamine transporter-linked promotor region [5-httlpr]) and intron 2 (a various number tandem repeat in serotonin transporter intron 2 [STin2]). …”

The CFTR Met 470 allele is associated with lower birth rates in fertile men from a population isolate. by Gülüm Kosova, Joseph K Pickrell, Joanna L Kelley, Patrick F McArdle, Alan R Shuldiner, Mark Abney, Carole Ober

“…Here, we studied the fertility effects of three CBAVD-associated CFTR polymorphisms, the (TG)m and polyT repeat polymorphisms in intron 8 and Met470Val in exon 10, in healthy men of European descent. …”

Transcriptome-wide assessment of human brain and lymphocyte senescence. by Mun-Gwan Hong, Amanda J Myers, Patrik K E Magnusson, Jonathan A Prince

“…Variance in gene expression itself has been theorized to change with age due to accumulation of somatic mutations and/or increasingly heterogeneous environmental exposures, but we found no evidence for such a trend here.…”
