Association of -75G/A and +83C/T polymorphic variation with acute coronary syndrome patients in Kashmir (India).

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) comes under the ambit of cardiovascular disease.APOA-1 gene plays a vital role in lipid metabolism and has been observed to have plausible role in ACS. This cross sectional case-control study was conducted to evaluate association between 1-75G/A(rs1799837), +83C/T (rs5069) genotypes and risk for ACS.

Favorable role of 1/2 mutations aided with promoter gene methylation in the outcome of patients with malignant glioma.

Aim: The implications of molecular biomarkers 1/2 mutations and gene promoter methylation were evaluated for prognostic outcome of glioma patients.

Materials & Methods: Glioma cases were analyzed for 1/2 mutations and promoter methylation by DNA sequencing and methylation-specific PCR, respectively.

Results: Mutations found in 1/2 genes totaled 63.
