Genetic Polymorphism of Mismatch Repair Genes and Susceptibility to Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: Mismatch repair (MMR) is one of the DNA repair systems that correct mispaired bases during DNA replication errors. Polymorphisms in genes can increase susceptibility to the development of prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, we investigated mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) -93G>A (rs1800734) and mutS homolog 3 (MSH3) (rs26279) polymorphisms with the risk of PCa.

Kallikarein-related peptidase 3 common genetic variant and the risk of prostate cancer.

Kallikarein-related peptidase 3 (KLK3) gene polymorphisms seem to play a role in susceptibility to prostate cancer (PC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between rs2735839 polymorphism of KLK3 gene and risk of PC in an Iranian population. In this case-control study, rs2735839 was genotyped in 532 patients with PC and 602 controls with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay.

Association of and gene polymorphisms as a genetic risk factor in gestational diabetes in Iranian women.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most popular metabolic disease during pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to investigate any possible association between Glu298Asp and I/D gene polymorphisms and the risk of GDM in a group of Iranian pregnant women.

Methods: In this case-control study 204 pregnant women were recruited (94 cases and 110 controls).

Association between matrix metaloproteinases 2-1306C/T polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery disease in Iranian population.

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) represents the most important cause of sudden cardiac death. Interaction between genetic and environmental factors, individual susceptibility of the development of CAD is one of the MMP2 genes. Genetic variants' dysfunction of the MMP2 gene associated with the risk of CAD.
