Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible progressive chronic inflammatory disease that causes shortness of breath in consequence of a decrease in pulmonary functions. The pulmonary inflammatory pathogenesis is multifactorial. We have too little up-to-date information about the relation between COPD and genetics. In our study, the relation with the SIRT1 gene's mononucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs7895833, rs7069102 and rs2273773 was analyzed through various laboratory data.
Material And Methods: One hundred COPD patients from the archive records of the Chest Diseases Department of Muğla Sitki Kocman University Medical Faculty were included in the study. A control group was constituted from 100 healthy individuals who live in the same geographical region. The SIRT1 genotypes for these patients were determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and confronting two-pair primers (CTPP) methods. The SIRT1 gene polymorphisms rs7895833, rs7069102 and rs2273773 were analyzed. GG, AG, AA genotypes and G and A alleles of rs7895833, TT, TC, CC genotypes and T and C alleles of rs2273773, and CC, CG, GG genotypes and C and G alleles of rs7069102 were examined. The data in both groups were compared.
Conclusions: A significant difference between GG, AG and AA genotypes of rs7895833 was found. Especially, the AG genotype was observed more in the group with COPD, with a significant difference. A significant difference between TT, TC and CC genotypes of rs2273773 was found. There was a significant difference between two groups with regards to C and G alleles of rs7069102. A significant difference was not found between the groups with regards to G and A alleles of rs7895833. A difference was not found for both groups between T and C alleles of rs2273773. It shows that these polymorphisms of the SIRT1 gene may be associated with COPD.

Background: This study investigates the association of single nucleotide polymorphism in glutathione S transferase P1 (rs1695 and rs1138272) and phosphatase and TENsin homolog (rs701848 and rs2735343) with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Patients And Methods: In this case-control study, 250 healthy controls and 200 CRC patients were enrolled. All subjects were divided into 3 groups: healthy control, patients, and overall (control + patients).

Ibiza (Eivissa) is one of the main Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean. Recent studies have highlighted the genetic distinctiveness of present-day Eivissans within the region and suggested it could be attributed to the genetic drift caused by recent demographic events. Whether this distinctiveness emerged from a differential demographic history, or rather from a bias for sampling in a small geographic region such as Eivissa, remains an open question, together with the understanding of the functional consequences of demography in the island.

Central obesity is associated with higher risk of developing a wide range of diseases independent of overall obesity. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified more than 300 susceptibility loci associated with central obesity. However, the functional understanding of these loci is limited by the fact that most loci are in non-coding regions.

Background: Sweetpotato is a vegetatively propagated crop cultivated worldwide, predominantly in developing countries, valued for its adaptability, short growth cycle, and high productivity per unit land area. In most sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, it is widely grown by smallholder farmers. Niger, Nigeria, and Benin have a huge diversity of sweetpotato accessions whose potential has not fully been explored to date.
