DNA barcoding of invasive Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859 and Atherina boyeri Risso, 1810 inhabiting Upper Euphrates River Basin, Türkiye.

The main contributor to Türkiye's abundant freshwater fish biodiversity is its geographic location. This fauna consists of endemic, native, and non-native fish species. The introduction of Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859 to Lake Amik in the 1920s for the biological control of malaria was the first introduction of nonnative species to Türkiye.

Does Genetic Variation in PNPLA3, TM6SF2 and HSD17B13 have a Role in the Development or Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Turkish Patients with Hepatitis B?

Background And Aims: Progression to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is restricted by viral suppression in chronic hepatitis B (CHB); however, some patients still progress despite antiviral therapy. Presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) such as PNPLA3 rs738409 and TM6SF2 rs58542926 are associated with the development and progression of steatotic liver disease to HCC, whereas a splice variant in HSD17B13 rs72613567:TA has been shown to be protective. We investigated the role of these SNPs in the development or prognosis of HCC in pure CHB etiology, in the absence of hepatic steatosis, remains unknown.
