Alteration of -656(G/T) and -607(C/A) polymorphisms in interleukin-18 (IL-18) gene in house dust mite-sensitive allergic rhinitis patients in Thailand
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an IgE-mediated inflammation of the nasal membranes, which is naturally triggered by aeroallergens. House dust mites (HDM) are the most common inhalant allergens. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) has been established as an essential cytokine that can activate the generation of IgE. This randomized controlled study aimed to identify the possible relat.. Read More»

Exome sequencing in Thai patients with familial obesity
Obesity is a major worldwide health issue, with increasing prevalence in adults and children from developed and developing countries. Obesity causes several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, osteoarthritis, hypertension, stroke, type II diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, and several types of cancer. Previous genome-wide association.. Read More»

Genetic variant screening of MC3R and MC4R genes in early-onset obese children and their relatives among a Thai population: family-based study
MC3R (melanocortin-3 receptor) and MC4R (melanocortin-4 receptor) play important roles in energy homeostasis. Severe early-onset obesity, known as monogenic obesity when it is the consequence of a mutation in a single-gene product, may result when energy homeostasis is disrupted. The purpose of our study was to screen for variations of the MC3R and MC4R genes and observe the mode of inheritance.. Read More»

Association between rs155971 in the PCSK1 gene and the lipid profile of obese Thai children: a family-based study
Genetic variants of the POMC and PCSK1 genes cause severe obesity among patients in the early stages of childhood. This family-based study analyzed the links between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in either the POMC or PCSK1 genes and obesity, as well as obesity-related traits among obese Thai children and their families. The variants rs1042571 and rs6713532 in the POMC gene in a sample.. Read More»

Association of T869C gene polymorphism of transforming growth factor-�²1 with low protein levels and anthropometric indices in osteopenia/osteoporosis postmenopausal Thai women
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease; it is an important health problem among postmenopausal women. We evaluated the association of three polymorphisms, T869C, C-509T and G915C, of the TGF-β1 gene with bone mineral density (BMD) serum TGF-β1 levels in 278 postmenopausal female osteopenia/osteoporosis subjects and 95 postmenopausal female ..

Association of HTTLPR and 5-HT2A T102C polymorphisms with smoking characteristics and anthropometric profiles of Thai males
Nicotine increases serotonin release in the brain. Gene polymorphisms in the serotonergic system have been suggested to be associated with smoking behavior. We investigated a possible association between two polymorphisms in the serotonergic system - HTTLPR of a serotonin transporter gene and 5-HT2Aat position T102C - with biochemical and anthropometric parameters, and with cigarette smoking in..
