These tests can help pregnant mothers to have informed decisions. In this study we gathered relevant scientific and governmental/official data about uptake rate of these screenings in different developed countries and Iran. We have tried to use the latest articles and reports, and also consider to the global trend of screening and abortion policies in developed countries. Also, some pitfalls when comparing prenatal screening of different countries will be explained. These data can help to have a better insight about Iran’s prenatal screening status when compared with developed countries to improve public health policies.","PeriodicalId":322022,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics and Genomics","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115451304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: In this study, the association between polymorphism of the ERBB4 gene with breast cancer was investigated. Methods: In the present study, 110 patients with breast cancer and 110 healthy individuals were selected as controls. DNA extraction was performed on patients’ samples. The tetra-ARMS-PCR method was used to study rs13393577 polymorphism. Finally, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software using t-test. Results: The results of the study in the patients' group showed that the frequencies of TT, CT, and CC genotypes were 73, 15, and 1.8%, and allelic frequency in this group for T and C alleles were 95 and 5%, respectively. In addition, the results of the study in the control group showed that the frequencies of TT, CT, and CC genotypes were 86, 11, and 0.9%, respectively. The allelic frequencies in the control group for the T and C alleles were 97 and 3%, respectively. In addition, the risk ratio and allelic reliability were obtained for T allele was OR: 3.06: and CI = 0.31 – 29.94 and for C allele was OR: 0.32: and CI: 0.03 - 3.19, respectively. Finally, statistical analysis showed that no significant difference was observed between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that rs13393577 polymorphism in the EGFR gene (ERBB4) is not a genetic predisposing factor for breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":322022,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics and Genomics","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116065885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disease is most prevalent in the western Mediterranean population, but today it is widespread in the world due to the large ethnic migrations of Turks, Jews, Arabs and Armenians. The MEFV gene is the only gene known to be associated with the disease. Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize pathogenic mutations in patients with typical FMF symptoms by sequencing the entire MEFV gene. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study that was performed during ten years from 2009 to 2019. On 252 patients after clinical diagnosis based on existing criteria to determine mutations referred to Tehran Medical Genetics Laboratory and the whole sequencing method for MEFV gene was used to determine mutations. Results: Out of 252 patients, 143 (56.7%) had pathogenic variants, and 109 (43.3%) had no variants reported as pathogenic mutations. Variants were identified as fallow: (1) 8.7% as homozygous; (2) 22.2% as compound heterozygous; (3) 25.7% as heterozygous. The most common variants were M694V (c.2080A > G) and E148Q (c.442G > C). Conclusions: This study showed that the age of onset of the disease was in the first and second decades of life amongst our patients and the most common complaints of patients were periodic fever and abdominal pain. The most frequent allele was M694V (c.2080A > G) followed by E148Q (c.442G > C) allele.","PeriodicalId":322022,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Genetics and Genomics","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124945506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
