Article Synopsis
- Celiac disease (CD) triggers harmful immune responses to gluten, leading to intestinal damage, and is closely associated with specific HLA genotypes, mainly DQ2 and DQ8, but this study investigates DQ4 and DQ5 genotypes in Iranian children with CD.
- In a case-control study of 100 participants, researchers extracted DNA from oral samples to analyze the frequency of HLA-DQ4/5 alleles, finding a notable prevalence of the DQ4a*4b allele in CD patients (78%).
- The study highlights a significant association between HLA-DQ4/5 and CD, particularly in older female patients, suggesting that DQ genotyping could aid in understanding the genetic background
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a life -long neurodevelopmental disorder and significantly influences the quality of life in children. The screening of ASD in children aged between 16-30 months to early detection and early intervention for better prognosis.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the southwest of Iran (Yasuj) with dominant Lore ethnicity in 2017.
Objectives: Teaching of clinical pathology to medical students has been ignored in many countries such as Iran. We aim to introduce a practical brief course and its proper timing.
Materials And Methods: Three groups of medical students from consecutive years of entrance passed a 1.
