Objectives: genetic polymorphism is commonly found in human malignancies, indicating its key role in cancer cell transformation. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the functional genetic polymorphism on the outcomes of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study on the relationship between and clinicopathological outcomes of PTC in 500 patients (378 females and 122 males) aged 43.8 ± 11.4 years (range 15-74 years) with a median follow-up of 60 months (range, 1-455 months).
Results: genetic polymorphism (TG/GG vs. TT) was significantly associated with several high-risk clinicopathological features such as tumor spread, extrathyroidal extension, central/lateral lymph node metastases, and Stage T III or IV disease. However, in Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, the mutation was unrelated to overall disease-free survival with a log-rank value of > 0.05. In Cox-regression analyses, the overall survival rate of recurrence/neo-metastasis was related to a larger tumor size, younger age, and tumor spread but unrelated to the mutation.
Conclusions And Significance: genetic polymorphism mutation is more likely to manifest with aggressive clinicopathological characteristics but cannot worsen prognosis in PTC.

Background: Disruptions in proteostasis are recognized as key drivers in cerebro- and cardiovascular disease progression. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), essential for maintaining protein stability and cellular homeostasis, are pivotal in neuroperotection. Consequently, deepening the understanding the role of HSPs in ischemic stroke (IS) risk is crucial for identifying novel therapeutic targets and advancing neuroprotective strategies.

Background: Uterine fibroids (UF) is the most common benign tumour of the female reproductive system. We investigated the joint contribution of genome-wide association studies (GWAS)-significant loci and environment-associated risk factors to the UF risk, along with epistatic interactions between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
Methods: DNA samples from 737 hospitalised patients with UF and 451 controls were genotyped using probe-based PCR for seven common GWAS SNPs: rs117245733 , rs547025 rs2456181 , rs7907606 , , rs58415480 , rs7986407 , and rs72709458 .

Background: The Japanese quail () is a small migratory bird whose main habitats are located in East Asia, Russia, China, Japan, Korea, and India. The Japanese quail was first introduced into the Iraqi research sector in the early 1980s. This investigation aimed to identify the genetic divergence between the available genetic lines of the Japanese quail in Iraq as a first step to conducting further conservation and breeding, benefiting from studying the genetic diversity related to productivity, adaptation, and immune susceptibility.

Background: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with distinct clinical subtypes, categorized by hormone receptor status, which exhibits different prognoses and requires personalized treatment approaches. These subtypes included luminal A and luminal B, which have different prognoses. Breast cancer development and progression involve many factors, including interferon-gamma ().

Background: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a critical role in the molecular mechanisms of ischemic stroke (IS). A possible role for HSP40 family proteins in atherosclerosis progression has already been revealed; however, to date, molecular genetic studies on the involvement of genes encoding proteins of the HSP40 family in IS have not yet been carried out.
Aim: We sought to determine whether nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding HSP40 family proteins (, , , , and ) are associated with the risk and clinical features of IS.
