Peculiaritie of Distribution of Polymorphic Variants of IL1Β Gene in Patients with Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Syndrome
Conclusion: The risk of development of AS in the background of MS is increased in carriers of combinations of SNPs (-31)TT/(+3953)CT IL1В gene responsible for hyperproduction of this cytokine. In this connection, further studies of the association of genes with MS and AS components should focus on intergenic interactions. (Source: Current Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine)

The Promise of Whole-exome Sequencing for Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis
Prenatal genetic diagnosis provides information for pregnancy and perinatal decision- making and management. Cytogenetic testing methods, including chromosomal microarray analysis and gene panels, have evolved to become a part of routine laboratory testing, providing valuable diagnostic and prognostic information for prenatal diagnoses. Despite this progress, however, cytogenetic analyses are limited by their resolution and diagnosis is only possible in around 40% of the dysmorphic fetuses. The advent of nextgeneration sequencing (NGS), whole-genome sequencing or whole-exome sequencing has revolutionized prenatal diagnosis...

HLA-B27 is a Risk Factor for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Suggestion for an Evidence-based Update
Previously, the association of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 with ankylosing spondylitis has been investigated as original and meta-analysis studies. However, the association of HLA-B27 with rheumatoid arthritis is not currently investigated as a meta-analysis. Hence, in this letter, a brief meta-analysis on this association will be performed. Although there were some studies on the association of RA and HLA-B27, however, there was not a pooled odds ratio reported in textbooks. Based on this brief metaanalysis, number 2.687 can be reported as the odds ratio of this association. It shows that this association is neither...

Association between Paraoxonase 1(PON1) Gene Polymorphisms and PON1 Enzyme Activity in Indian Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Conclusion: The study shows that the PON1-192R allele is strongly associated with CAD patients and affects serum PON1 activity toward paraoxon, implying a higher likelihood of development and/or progression of CAD among Indians. (Source: Current Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine)

Computational Studies of Molecular Targets Regarding the Adverse Effects of Isoniazid Drug for Tuberculosis
Conclusion: The results of this study are consistent with and rationalize earlier biochemical, molecular and clinical studies that relate prevalence of isoniazid induced adverse effects to genetic polymorphisms in NAT2, GSTT1, GSTM1 and CYP*. The computational results of this study indicate that MAO, COMT and NNMT are additional potential targets related to variation in isoniazid induced adverse effects.
