A genome-wide pleiotropy scan for prostate cancer risk.

Abstract No single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) specific for aggressive prostate cancer have been identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). To test if SNPs associated with other traits may also affect the…

Poor embryo development and preimplantation genetic diagnosis outcomes of translocations involving chromosome 10: Do we blame genetics?

Abstract Balanced reciprocal translocation carriers are usually phenotypically normal. Although the reproductive risk of these carriers varies, they generally have a lower chance to produce normal or balanced gametes. Preimplantation…

Interplay between GST and nitric oxide in the early response of soybean (Glycine max L.) plants to salinity stress.

Abstract Glutathione-s-transferases (GSTs) and nitric oxide (NO) have both been implicated in the response of plants to salinity stress. However, their interplay and underlying mechanisms are relatively unknown. The present…
