Relationship of maternal grain intake and serum triglyceride levels with infant birth weight: Mothers and Children’s Environmental Health (MOCEH) study

Maternal serum triglyceride (TG) level is known to be associated with neonatal birth weight. Although Koreans traditionally consume relatively high amounts of grain and grain products, mainly in the form of wh...

Relationship between body-mass index and serum folate concentrations in pregnant women

The concentration of micronutrients impacts fetal development and pregnancy outcome and has been suggested to be negatively correlated with the body-mass index (BMI). We evaluated the relationship between BMI ...

Association of SMAD2 polymorphisms with bone mineral density in postmenopausal Korean women

In a candidate gene association study, we found that SMAD2 promoter alleles and haplotypes were significantly associated with bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and various proximal femur sites. Our r...

Association of TWIST1 gene polymorphisms with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women

A novel polymorphism (+1871A>G) in the 3′ flanking region and haplotypes were significantly associated with reduced osteoporosis risk and enhanced bone mineral density (BMD). These results suggest that TWIST1 may...

Cytogenetic clonal evolution alone in CML relapse post-transplantation does not adversely affect response to imatinib mesylate treatment

Good prognosis after imatinib mesylate treatment has been reported if cytogenetic clonal evolution (CE) is the only criterion of accelerated phase (AP) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). To evaluate the impac...
