Investigating the relationship between the VNTR variant of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene and coronary in-stent restenosis
This study aimed to examine the association between the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL-1RN) and coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) through the analysis of the VNTR variant based on the previously r...

Association of ACE gene polymorphisms with in-stent restenosis by stent type (biomime, supraflex, xience)
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme or ACE is an exo-peptidase that causes the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, vasoconstriction, and aldosterone production. ACE gene polymorphism (I/D) affects enzyme ...

ADA gene haplotype is associated with coronary-in-stent-restenosis
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common and the first cause of death worldwide. While some studies have investigated the association of the Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) gene with CDVs, its roles on in-ste...

Association of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Gene polymorphisms and expression with the risk of endometriosis: a case–control study
Endometriosis is a polygenic and multifactorial gynecology situation which might be associated with angiogenesis. In the current study we assess the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) − 2578 A/C, a...

VEGF gene polymorphism association with diabetic neuropathy
Vascular factors beside metabolic problems are involved in both etiopathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy, and more remarkably, later in “repair” phase, that governs the net balance between neuro-regenerative/de...

In vitro modulation of TCF7L2 gene expression in human pancreatic cells
Several studies have recently reported strong association between type 2 diabetes and variation in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene, which has been confirmed by several other genome-wide studies. H...
