Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers compared 100 control participants to 100 patients with obesity, half of whom had type 2 diabetes, using methods like PCR and Sanger sequencing to analyze genetic data.
  • * Results indicated that two SNVs (rs1207568 and rs9527025) are significantly associated with obesity in this population, highlighting the genetic influence on obesity susceptibility among Saudis.

Introduction: Non-diabetic women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) often have abnormal insulin regulation. Calpain 10 (CALP10) is a biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus, with some of its single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influencing PCOS development.

Methods: In this case-control study on 90 women each with and without PCOS, we explored the molecular role of five CALP10 SNPs using biochemical parameters and Sanger sequencing analyses.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex disorder defined by the Rotterdam criteria. Insulin resistance is a common factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus among women with PCOS. The gene has been identified as a T2DM gene by genome-wide association studies in the rs8192675 SNP.

Background: Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is one of the leading causes of infectious disease in the global population, and its prevalence has been increasing globally. Human HBV infection is complex, involving both innate and adaptive immune systems. Cytokines play a role in both physiologic and pathologic processes in the liver.

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an ovarian health condition as well as a long-term endocrine dysfunction that affects reproductive-aged women. Toll-like receptor 2 () gene was linked to PCOS and chronic inflammation, and the prevalence of obesity was rising in Saudi women. Previous studies on rs5743708 polymorphism were documented in the obesity as well as in PCOS women.

The traditional definition of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the leading cause of carbohydrate intolerance in hyperglycemia of varying severity, with onset or initial detection during pregnancy. Previous studies have reported a relationship among obesity, adiponectin (), and diabetes in Saudi Arabia. is an adipokine that is produced and secreted by adipose tissue involved in the regulation of carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic and metabolic disorder that affects the adult population. Chemokines are proinflammatory cytokines that play a role in the development of chronic diseases such as obesity, gestational diabetes, and T2DM. The C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 5 () gene plays a role in antiviral immunity, tumor development, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, and T2DM.

Article Synopsis
  • Mitochondrial quality declines with age, affecting female fertility, prompting a study on mitochondrial RNA transcripts in mouse oocytes and cumulus cells across different age groups.
  • No significant age-related differences in mitochondrial transcripts were found, but variations were more frequent in cumulus cells compared to oocytes.
  • The findings suggest either oocytes experience less post-transcriptional modification or they have a lower mtDNA mutational load compared to cumulus cells.
