Lysosome associated protein transmembrane 4beta (LAPTM4B) contribute to the risk of numerous cancers. The present study focused on the possible association between LAPTM4B polymorphism and the risk of breast cancer (BC) in an Iranian population in southeast Iran. This case control study includes 311 BC patients and 225 healthy women. Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole blood by salting out method and LAPTM4B genotype was investigated using polymerase chain reaction. Our findings showed that LAPTM4B genotype was not associated with the risk of BC in any inheritance model tested. The minor allele frequency in case and control group was 0.297 and 0.278, respectively. The minor allele (LAPTM4B*2) was not associated with BC risk in comparison with LAPTM4B*1 allele (odds ratio 1.10, 95 % confidence intervals 0.84-1.44, p = 0.495). Moreover, LAPTM4B polymorphism was not associated with clinical and pathological characteristics in the patient group. In conclusion, the findings of our study suggested that the polymorphism of LAPTM4B gene was not associated with susceptibility to BC and clinicopathological characteristics in an Iranian population.

Midwifery and Reproductive Health Department, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Background: Infertility as a distressing condition, is associated with numerous psychological and social consequences for couples. In addition, there is evidence to suggest that infertility may contribute to the occurrence of violence against women. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence and factors associated with violence against Iranian women with infertility.

Molecular data should be combined with morphological data to enhance the reliability of phylogenetic and diagnostic studies on nematodes. In this study, the citrus nematode collected from citrus orchards in different localities in Fars province, southern Iran, was characterized using the partial sequencing of ITS rDNA, D2-D3 of 28S rDNA and COI mtDNA genes. We also morphometrically characterized the second-stage juveniles (J2) and male specimens.

Article Synopsis
  • - A survey in Iran found a large population of sheathoid, migratory, root-ectoparasitic nematodes in a tea plantation for the first time.
  • - The nematodes were identified through morphological and molecular methods, aligning with their original description.
  • - Phylogenetic analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) revealed significant variability within and between nematode species and populations.

Background: Whether new anthropometric indicators are superior to conventional anthropometric indicators and whether they can better identify MetS in apparently healthy people needs further research. Thus, this study aimed to estimate the efficiency of novel indicators in predicting the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the Iranian adult population.

Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 800 subjects were selected by clustered random sampling.
