Abstract The relationship between six different isolates of BTV was analyzed by cross-hybridization of genomic dsRNA using blotting and probe techniques (using an alkali fragmented probe made from BTV dsRNA).…
Abstract The Portuguese type of familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP type I), a disabling autosomal dominant disorder with onset in early adult life, is caused by a point mutation in the…
Abstract The polymorphic sites across the beta gene cluster (restriction haplotypes) in association with specific thalassaemic mutations were analyzed in representative samples of normal and thalassaemic Greeks in comparison to…
Abstract We have identified the beta-thalassaemia alleles in nearly all known Turkish Cypriot beta-thalassaemia homozygotes and in over 700 Greek Cypriot beta-thalassaemia heterozygotes living on the island of Cyprus. The…
Abstract DNA sequences encoding the C2 to V3 region of envelope glycoprotein gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were amplified by PCR from uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells…
Abstract Zinc finger genes represent a large multigene family present in mammalian and other genomes. A subgroup of these genes contain a conserved motif, the KRAB domain, at the NH2-terminal…
Abstract Apolipoprotein E (APOE) plays an important role in the multifactorial etiology of both cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to investigate the APOE gene…
