Association between genetic variants of (rs1396409 and rs9883258) and treatment outcomes in Schizophrenic Egyptian patients.

Background And Aim: This study evaluated the association between rs1396409 and rs9883258 and the risk of schizophrenia (SCZ) and treatment outcomes in Egyptian patients.

Methods: This study included 88 patients with SCZ and 88 healthy controls. Lipid profile was assayed.

The relation between mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and different genes expression in patients with beta Thalassemia.

Background: β-thalassemia is an inherited hemoglobinopathy resulting in quantitative changes in the β-globin chain. Understanding the molecular basis of that disorder requires studying the expression of genes controlling the pathways that affect the erythropoietic homeostasis especially the MAPK pathway. The MAPKs are a family of serine/threonine kinases that play an essential role in connecting cell-surface receptors to DNA in the nucleus of the cell.
