An Evolutionarily Young Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) Endogenous Retrovirus Identified from Next Generation Sequence Data.

Abstract Transcriptome analysis of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) tissues identified sequences with similarity to Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERV). Based on these sequences, four proviral copies and 15 solo long terminal…

The synergistic effect between the Mediterranean diet and GSTP1 or NAT2 SNPs decreases breast cancer risk in Greek-Cypriot women.

Abstract Xenobiotic metabolism is related to the interplay between diet and breast cancer (BC) risk. This involves detoxification enzymes, which are polymorphic and metabolise various dietary metabolites. An important characteristic…

A novel variant in male siblings with intellectual disability and microcephaly in the absence of cobalamin disorder.

Abstract Approximately 10-15% of intellectual disability (ID) cases are caused by genetic aberrations affecting chromosome X, a condition termed X-linked ID (XLID). Examination by whole-exome sequencing of two male siblings…
