Nevertheless, the results obtained in these studies are inconsistent, which could be explained by the limitations of single-locus main effect evaluations to detect joint effects of multiple genetic variants, reflected in statistical epistases. Therefore, we conducted the analysis of potential epistatic interactions between variants located in microRNA genes and in genes encoding the components of RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) in relation with PCa risk/aggressiveness. Raw data on genotyping results from our previous studies involving four microRNA polymorphisms and five variants in RISC genes were subjected to the exclusion of samples based on missing data criterion, followed by the re-evaluation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Afterwards, these genotyping results were included in the Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis. Permutation testing was conducted in order to assess statistical significance of the best models from MDR tests. MDR tests on the risk of developing PCa yielded statistically insignificant results. Nevertheless, the MDR results for comparison of PCa patients with high and low cancer progression risk were statistically significant for the analysis that included rs11614913, with the 3-locus best model comprising this genetic variant, rs7813 and rs784567. We conclude that statistical epistasis between rs11614913 in hsa-miR-196a2, rs7813 in GEMIN4 and rs784567 in TARBP2 shows association with the invasiveness of PCa.","PeriodicalId":50423,"journal":{"name":"Genetika-Belgrade","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68297767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to describe the expression profiles of miRNAs in Turkish pCD patients based on the clinical and pathological findings. This study was conducted on 33 pCD patients and 33 pediatric control subjects with normal biopsy results. Four most common mutations (DQA1*05, DQB1*02, DQA1*03, DQB1*03:0.2) on HLA gene in pCD were screened. Paraffin-embedded biopsy tissue samples were used in miRNA isolations followed by cDNA synthesis. Expression of miRNAs were evaluated in the groups with qRT-PCR array-method. Significant underexpression of hsa-miR-194-5p gene was detected in pCD patients compared to the control group. The hsa-miR-194-5p gene was significantly underexpressed in anemic or short stature pCD patients compared to the control. The genes of hsa-miR-29b-3p, hsa-miR-30e-5p, and hsa-miR-146a-5p were significantly overexpressed in the patients with constipated celiac patients. Significant overexpression of hsa-miR146a-5p gene was detected in the Marsh2 and Marsh3a groups. The hsa-miR-29b-3p, hsa-miR-30e-5p, hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-miR-27a-3p, hsa-miR141-3p, hsa-miR143-3p, and hsa-miR-146a-5p miRNA genes were significantly overexpressed in the Marsh3b group. Also, the hsa-miR-194-5p and hsa-miR-26a-5p genes were significantly underexpressed in the comparison of Marsh3c group to the control. These results suggest that miRNA expressions are likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of pCD. It is believed that the current results present valuable inferences that may help understand the genetic boundaries on pCD, which might be further supported by follow up studies on other miRNAs.","PeriodicalId":50423,"journal":{"name":"Genetika-Belgrade","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68297842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Camel has adapted itself to harsh and draught climate of desert. ?his quality of camel makes it the best choice in racing industry. Pakistani breed Dromedarius camels are as good as Omani and Sudanese camel breeds in their racing potential. Myostatin (Growth differentiation factor 8) is a protein coded by MSTN gene. Polymorphism in MSTN play a significant role in growth of muscle, increasing fast glycolysis Type IIB muscle fiber, forming tubular aggregates in type IIB fiber by increasing the body strength and racing ability. This gene is also responsible for double muscle phenotype in bovines. In present study, Marecha and Brela camel breeds of Pakistan were studied for genomic characterization of MSTN gene. Blood samples were collected from the healthy animals between the age group of 2-4 years. Genomic DNA was extracted, amplified by using specific sets of primers, purified and sequenced by Sanger?s dideoxy chain termination method. No single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in the exon-3 of MSTN of Marecha & Brela, which shows that the gene is highly conserved among species while phylogenetic data of the dromedarius MSTN gene showed highest similarity with Bos taurus and least similarity with Gallus gallus. Genes that are similar to the camel MSTN are myostatin of Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, Bos taurus, Canis lupus, Rattus norvegicus. The significance of this study was to identify the genetic potential of Pakistani camel for racing that will help in the socioeconomic uplift of the local community. It will also help the camel breeders to select the best breed of camel & enhance their genetic potential by using least operating cost. That will in turn provide opportunity to the camel breeders to produce the best breed that will be selected by the trainers for racing that will provide another source of income for the local community and Pakistan?s camels will also be used in the racing industry.","PeriodicalId":50423,"journal":{"name":"Genetika-Belgrade","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68298165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Macedonia has a large number of autochthonous or domestic varieties (cultivars) of grapevine that are grown as individual vines or in small, limited plantations. Until the beginning of the 20th century and before the phylloxera attack in our country, native varieties were much more represented. Autochthonous varieties existed and were cultivated for a long time in several vineyards and were characterized by stable and significant properties. These varieties are adapted to the environmental conditions where they are grown and are carriers of stable genes that can be used in further selection and hybridization to obtain new grape varieties. Therefore, it is very important for a country (region) to have autochthonous varieties in its assortment.In this paper, we considered four autochthonous grape varieties - two table varieties (Konchanka and white winter) and two wine varieties (Ohrid white, Ohrid black). We tried, according to the ampelographic description and certain characteristics of the reproductive system, to determine their origin. According to the phenotypic characteristics that refer to the centers of origin of the varieties, the studied varieties - Konchanka and White winter belong to the Eastern varieties convarietas orientalis, subconvarietas antasiatica, and the studied varieties Ohrid white and Ohrid black variety belong to the Black Sea - Balkan varieties convarietas. pontica, subconvarietas balcanica. Among the examined varieties, the properties from the second group of descriptors are described in detail according to the proposals of O.I.V. According to some codes (characteristics) there is a big difference between varieties. Also, for a more detailed differentiation of the varieties, cytological properties were examined - pollen germination and vitality, number of chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis, ploidy level, percentage of fertilization (fecundation), self-fertilization (autogamy) and cross-fertilization (xenogamy). The statistical processing of the ampelography data is according to a cluster program (SPSS) that works on the binary similarity or dissimilarity as measures used to group the data and further form a clear dendogram display.","PeriodicalId":50423,"journal":{"name":"Genetika-Belgrade","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68298190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
