Abstract

The polymorphism of excision repair genes XPD Asp312Asn, XRCC1 Arg399Gln, OGG1 Ser326Cys, and ERCC6 Met1097Val was analyzed by PCR-RFLP in 370 representatives of the Belarusian population of average, old, and elderly ages. Correlation analysis showed that the frequencies of wild-type homozygous combinations significantly increase with age in the group of subjects over 70 years old in the case of the interaction of two genes, XPD 312 and XRCC1399, or three genes, XPD312, XRCC1399, and ERCC6 1097. In a subgroup of the long-lived, this relationship is manifested in case of a pairwise interaction of gene XPD 312 with XRCC1 399 or ERCC6 1097, as well as an interaction of three genes, XPD 312, XRCC1 399, and ERCC6 1097. The data suggest that the optimum activity of repair processes may favor longevity. It is shown that the frequency of the Asp/Asp genotype is reduced, and the frequency of the Asn allele of the XPD 312 gene is increased in the subgroup of smokers as compared with nonsmokers, which apparently indicates an association of this gene polymorphism with an inclination to smoke. The problem requires further study.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
