Lack of Evidence of the Role of APOA5 3'UTR Polymorphisms in Iranian Children and Adolescents with Metabolic Syndrome.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex and multifactorial disorder characterized by insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, hyperglycemia, abdominal obesity, and elevated blood pressure. The apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene variants have been reported to correlate with two major components of MetS, including low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high levels of triglyceride. In the present study, we explored the associations between five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of APOA5 gene and the MetS risk.

Identification of a New Single-nucleotide Polymorphism within the Apolipoprotein A5 Gene, Which is Associated with Metabolic Syndrome.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common disorder which is a constellation of clinical features including abdominal obesity, increased level of serum triglycerides (TGs) and decrease of serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), elevated blood pressure, and glucose intolerance. The apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) is involved in lipid metabolism, influencing the level of plasma TG and HDL-C. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the associations between four INDEL variants of APOA5 gene and the MetS risk.

Altered expression of LINC-ROR in cancer cell lines and tissues.

According to GLOBOCAN 2012, the worldwide burden of cancer increased and is expected to worsen within the next decades. Therefore, universal combat against cancer will not succeed with treatment solely; effective prevention and early detection are urgently needed to tackle the cancer crisis. Emerging data demonstrate that long non-coding RNAs are involved in numerous biological and pathological processes like development and differentiation and in a variety of human diseases including cancer.
