Investigation of the Relationship Between ACTN3 rs1815739 Polymorphism and Openbite Cases: A Prospective Study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether ACTN3 rs1815739 polymorphism, which causes the deficiency of the alpha-actinin-3 muscle protein, is related to the formation of open bite malocclusion.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-eight participants (18.5 ± 3.

The Effects of MMP3 (rs679620) and VDR (rs731236) Gene Polymorphisms on Dental Caries: A Pilot Study.

Objective:  Caries formation is a process affected by various factors. Studies have shown that genetic factors also play a role in caries formation. The aim of our study is to examine the effects of matrix metalloproteinase ( (rs679620) and vitamin D receptor () (rs731236) gene polymorphisms on caries formation.

PPARA and IL6: exploring associations with athletic performance and genotype polymorphism.

This study aims to investigate the Interleukin (IL)-6 rs1800795 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA) rs4253778 polymorphism distributions in the relatively faster and slower subgroups of national cross-country skiing athletes and to identify advantageous genotypes for endurance performance. IL-6 is an inflammatory mediator that is effective in muscle tissue hypertrophy, repair, and the immune system. On the other hand, PPARA transcription factor is a molecule associated with fatty acid, sugar metabolism and inflammation formation.

Comparison of potential biomarker, ACTN3 rs1815739 polymorphism, for athletic performance of Turkish athletes.

α-Actinin-3 is one of the key components of the Z-line structure of sarcomeres and also have importance in muscle cell signaling processes. Therefore, α-Actinin-3 gene rs1815739 polymorphism is one of the most analysed potential genetic biomarkers in sports genetic studies. We aimed to evaluate the genotypic and allelic distribution of α-Actinin-3 gene rs1815739 polymorphism in Turkish athletes.

Apoptotic effects of acacetin in human colon cancer HT-29 and HCT 116 cells.

Aim: Acacetin is a natural flavone compound, which is found in several plants as Robinia pseudoacacia and is demonstrated to have anticancerogenic activities in many types of cancer (e.g., human nonsmall cell lung cancer, and prostate).
