Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker associated with T2DM, obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease.
Aim: The present study evaluates the association of CRP +1059 G/C polymorphism of the gene in 100 T2D cases and 100 healthy controls.
Methods: Present study was done by allele specific PCR method to study the gene polymorphism in study subjects.
Results: Study found that (+1059 G/C) genotype distribution among case and controls was found to be significant (p=0.001), Higher C allele frequency (0.16) was observed compared to controls (0.04). +1059 GC and CC had 2.72 (1.12-6.61), 20.56 (1.16-362.1) risk for T2D. It has been observed, HTN, Obesity, Smoking and alcoholism was found to be associated with increased risk of T2D, and a significant difference was observed in biochemical parameters.
Conclusion: Study concluded that gene polymorphism was found to be associated with risk of Type 2 Diabetes and risk was linked with heterozygosity and mutant homozygosity. Hypertension, Obesity, Smoking and alcoholism increases the risk of occurrence of Type 2 Diabetes.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the genetic link between psoriasis and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).
Methods: From a genetic standpoint, this study further highlighted the connection between psoriasis and SSNHL. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) connected to SSNHL could be found using a genome-wide association study from the IEU OpenGWAS project website.

The tumor virus A receptor (TVA), a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, serves as an entry receptor for Avian Leukosis Virus (ALV) subgroups A and K, as well as a receptor for vitamin B bound to transcobalamin. Naturally occurring genetic variants in the TVA gene determine susceptibility or resistance to ALV-A and -K, but the effects of these mutated TVA on vitamin B uptake have not been investigated systemically. We found four TVA variants comprising the wild type (TVA), a single nucleotide polymorphism variant (TVA), and two partial deletions in the splicing branch point region (TVA).

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).

HLA-E is a nonclassical, nonpolymorphic, class Ib HLA molecule. Its primary function is to present a conserved nonamer peptide, termed VL9, derived from the signal sequence of classical MHC molecules to the NKG2x-CD94 receptors on NK cells and a subset of T lymphocytes. These receptors regulate the function of NK cells, and the importance of this role, which is conserved across mammalian species, probably accounts for the lack of genetic polymorphism.
