Arylsulfatase A pseudodeficiency in Mexico: Enzymatic activity and haplotype analysis.

Background: Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD, OMIM 250100) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the ARSA gene (OMIM 607574) that lead to deficiency in Arylsulfatase A (ASA). ASA pseudodeficiency (PD-ASA) is a biochemical condition that substantially diminishes ASA activity but is not associated with clinical manifestations. PD-ASA is associated with the c.

Author Correction: Association between G1733A (rs6152) polymorphism in androgen receptor gene and recurrent spontaneous abortions in Mexican population.

The original version of this article unfortunately contained two mistakes in the Abstract and the Discussion sections that the authors would like to correct.

Association between G1733A (rs6152) polymorphism in androgen receptor gene and recurrent spontaneous abortions in Mexican population.

Introduction: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a multifactorial condition that occurs with a frequency of 0.2-5% in women of reproductive age. Among genetic factors, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) G1733A in the androgen receptor (AR) gene has been associated with its presence in Greek and Iranian populations.

Molecular thrombophilic profile in Mexican patients with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss.

Idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (IRPL) is defined by three or more consecutive miscarriages occurring before the twentieth week of gestation as a result of unidentified etiological factors. The results of previous studies have indicated that prothrombotic factors play a pathogenic role in early and late pregnancy. This study aimed to identify inherited prothrombotic and hypofibrinolytic risk factors in Mexican-Mestizo patients with IRPL.

[Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA)-G as a biomarker in cancer].

Human leukocyte antigen is a class I HLA classic molecule that is preferentially expressed in cytotrophoblast cells and participates in tolerance and immune system suppression. The expression of HLA-G is induced in viral infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancers. Currently, HLA-G is considered a biomarker in the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancer.
