Evaluation of the relationship between and gene polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients with and without lung involvement.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus produces severe acute respiratory syndrome. The severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is determined by a number of factors, including inherited ones.

Objectives: Our goal is to investigate the link between (rs2285666) and (rs14035430) gene polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients with and without lung involvement.

Resistin Gene Promoter -420C>G (rs1862513) and +299 G>A (rs3745367) Polymorphisms in Psoriasis.

Background: The pro-inflammatory adipokine resistin is known to be related to obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Resistin's significance in the etiology of inflammatory illnesses, such as psoriasis, is explored herein. We examined the link between resistin gene polymorphisms (-420 C>G and +299 G>A) and psoriasis in the Turkish population.

MTHFR 677 C > T Gene Polymorphism is Associated with Large for Gestational Age Infants.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677 C > T gene polymorphism in term infants born small (SGA), appropriate (AGA), and large for gestational age (LGA).

Methods: The study comprised 165 newborns with SGA, LGA and AGA. Genomic DNA was isolated from the peripheral blood.

Evaluation of the relationship between neonatal serum asprosin levels and anthropometric measurements in newborns of mothers with and without gestational diabetes mellitus.

Background: Asprosin is a newly identified adipokine that is expressed in the placenta. Its production is increased in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and it is a factor related to insulin resistance. This study aimed to determine whether neonatal serum asprosin levels are associated with anthropometric characteristics of newborns born to mothers with and without GDM.

Serum adiponectin levels and adiponectin +276 G/T gene polymorphism in newborns with large and small birth weights.

Purpose: Adiponectin may be an important indicator in the regulation of fetal and neonatal growth due to its metabolism, energy balance, and insulin-sensitizing action. The current study's goal was to determine if there is a link between adiponectin +276 G/T gene polymorphism and serum adiponectin level in newborns classified as appropriate for gestational age (AGA), small for gestational age (SGA), or large for gestational age (LGA).

Methods: The study included newborns classified as AGA ( = 65), SGA ( = 65), or LGA ( = 65) according to their gestational age or birth weight.
