Uterine leiomyomas (UL) are prevalent benign tumors, especially among women of African ancestry. The disease also has genetic liability and is influenced by risk factors such as hormones and obesity. This study investigates the haplotypes of the Cytochrome P450 1B1 gene (CYP1B1) related to hormones and coiled-coil domain containing 57 gene (CCDC57) related to obesity in Afro-Caribbean females. Each haplotype was constructed from unphased sequence data using PHASE v.2.1 software and Haploview v.4.2 was used for linkage disequilibrium (LD) studies. There were contrasting LD observed among the single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP1B1 and CCDC5. Accordingly, the GTA haplotype of CYP1B1 was significantly associated with UL risk (P = 0.02) while there was no association between CCDC57 haplotypes and UL (P = 0.2) for the ATG haplotype. As such, our findings suggest that the Asp449Asp polymorphism and GTA haplotype of CYP1B1 may contribute to UL susceptibility in women of Afro-Caribbean ancestry in this population.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein changes are associated with the pathogenesis and complications of atherosclerosis, leading to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Tenascin-C (TNC), an ECM protein, has been implemented in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. The study aimed to compare the genetic variants of the gene (rs13321, rs2104772, and rs12347433) between South Indians with ACS and healthy participants.

The chemoattractant Receptor23 (ChemR23) plays an essential role in triggering and resolving acute inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the association between four potentially functional SNPs of the chemR23 gene (rs4373981 G > C, rs73201532 C > T, rs35121177 G > A, and rs4964676 G > A) with susceptibility to Allergic rhinitis (AR). 130 patients with allergic rhinitis and 130 healthy individuals were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.
