Previous studies on the relationship between ACE I/D, ACE2 G8790A and CYP11B2-344T/C gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension (EH) were inconsistent. Moreover, few studies have reported the combined effec...
The “allergic march” refers to changes in the frequency and intensity of allergic diseases with age. Classically, the allergic march begins with atopic dermatitis in infancy and leads to asthma and rhinitis as...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children. Most often it affects the age group between 2 and 5 years of age. Studies have shown an improvement in general survivability, more th...
SOX3 is essential for pituitary development normally at the earliest stages of development. In humans, variants of SOX3 can cause X-linked hypopituitarism with various clinical manifestations, with or without men...
Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) is a common heterogeneous disorder affecting all ages, ethnicities, and genders. The most common form of HHL is autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL), in which t...
Although differential expression of genes is apparent during the adipogenic/osteogenic differentiation of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), it is not known whether this is associated with changes in chromo...
Roberts syndrome (RBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variations in the ESCO2 gene; however, prenatal diagnosis of RBS has never been reported in Chinese families. Additionally, fetal-specific p...
Determining the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is challenging. The present study aimed to identify prognostic ferroptosis-related long noncoding RNAs (FRLs) and construct a prognostic model. Moreover,...
This study investigated the role of TP73 gene polymorphism, rs1801173on risk of gastric cancer.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a spectrum of non-progressive motor disorders caused by brain injury during fetal or postnatal periods. Current diagnosis of CP mainly relies on neuroimaging and motor assessment. Here, ...
