Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) gene polymorphism - 866 G/A in the promoter region is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus among Kashmiri population of Northern India.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the association of UCP2 gene polymorphism - 866 G/A and its expression with diabetes predisposition in the North Indian population.

Methods: The study involved 850 subjects, including 425 each T2DM and control subjects. The serum metabolic and clinical parameters were estimated using standard protocols.

AT-rich Interaction Domain 1A Gene Variations: Genetic Associations and Susceptibility to Gastric Cancer Risk.

AT-rich interaction domain containing protein 1A (ARID1A), has recently emerged as a novel class of gene which acts as a potent tumor suppressor in numerous types of cancers such as Gastric, Breast, Ovarian, Colorectal, Lung cancers. ARID1A is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and DNA repair, yet its association with the susceptibility of cancer remains unknown. Here, we aimed to analyse the association of the ARID1A variants (Pro912Thr, Gln944Lys and Gln920Ter) with the risk of Gastric cancer (GC) in Kashmiri population.
