The prevalence of diabetes has reached alarming levels in India, making it essential to understand the concentration of nutritional-trace elements (Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr. and Se) in blood samples from diabetic adults. In this study, 208 whole blood samples from diabetic (n = 104) and non-diabetic (n = 104) adults across various age groups were analyzed using total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectroscopy with a sample dilution method.

Clinical profile of hemophilia B patients from Karnataka.

J Family Med Prim Care

June 2022

Department of Anatomy, Human Genetics Laboratory, Shri B.M Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, BLDE (Deemed to be University), Vijayapura, Karnataka, India.

Background: The most prevalent severe inherited hemorrhagic condition is hemophilia, which means "love of blood." Hemophilia A and B are caused by a lack or malfunction of the factor VIII and factor IX proteins.

Objective: The present study is to determine the prevalence and clinical profile of hereditary coagulation disorder, particularly hemophilia B, in Karnataka.

Background: The isolation of nucleic acids is a frequently performed procedure in the molecular biology area. Although several rapid DNA isolation techniques from human peripheral blood and saliva have been developed, there are still some disadvantages - volume, time, cost, and yield are a few notable ones.

Objective: We aim to develop a rapid and inexpensive method to isolate high-molecular-weight genomic DNA from human peripheral blood and saliva that can be used for molecular biology experiments.

Trace elements are essential for the human body's various physiological processes but if they are present in higher concentration, these elements turn to be toxic and cause adverse effect on physiological processes. Similarly, deficiency of these essential elements also affects physiological processes and leads to abnormal metabolic activities. There is a lot of interest in recent years to know the mystery behind the involvement of trace elements in the metabolic activities of autistic children suspecting that it may be a risk factor in the aetiology of autism.

Interplay of Oxidative Stress and Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression on Cardiovascular Responses in Preeclampsia.

Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet

March 2022

Department of Physiology, Shri B. M. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, BLDE (Deemed to be University), Vijayapur-586103, Karnataka, India.

Objective:  To assess the influence of oxidative stress on the gene expression of nitric oxide synthases (NOS 3 and NOS 2) and, hence, the cardiovascular responses in preeclampsia.

Methods:  This was a case control study in which patients with preeclampsia (PE group) and normal pregnancy controls (NP group) were included according to the guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity, and nitric oxide (NO) were estimated, and the heart rate and mean arterial pressure were recorded.

Genetic analysis of the postsynaptic transmembrane X-linked neuroligin 3 gene in autism.

Genomics Inform

December 2021

Laboratory of Vascular Physiology and Medicine, Department of Physiology, Shri B.M Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, BLDE (Deemed to be University), Vijayapura, Karnataka 586101, India.

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, the prevalence of which has increased drastically in India in recent years. Neuroligin is a type I transmembrane protein that plays a crucial role in synaptogenesis. Alterations in synaptic genes are most commonly implicated in autism and other cognitive disorders.

Mutation analysis and characterisation of gene in haemophilia- B population of India.

Blood Res

December 2021

Human Genetics Laboratory, Department of Anatomy, Shri B.M Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, BLDE (Deemed to be University), Vijayapura, India.

Background: Hemophilia B (HB) is an X-linked bleeding disorder resulting from coagulation factor IX defects. Over 3,000 pathogenic, HB-associated mutations in the gene have been identified. We aimed to investigate the role of variants in 150 HB patients using sequencing technology.

Molecular alteration in the Gap Junction Beta 2 () gene associated with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing impairment.

Intractable Rare Dis Res

February 2021

Human genetics laboratory, Department of Anatomy, Shri B. M. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research centre, BLDE (Deemed to be University), Vijayapura, India.

Non-syndromic sensory neural hearing defect is one of the genetic diseases inherited from parents to offerings. The autosomal recessive form affects a large population worldwide and has become a major concern in the social and professional lives of many people. There are many factors and genes which are involved in hearing loss but the Gap Junction Beta 2 () gene which encodes the connexin 26 protein, is a major cause of non-syndromic recessive deafness (NSRD).
