INTRODUCTION

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects diarthrodial joints. RA affects ∼1% of the world’s population and is characterized by synovial hyperplasia, infiltration of large numbers of inflammatory cells into the joints, production of autoantibodies, systemic inflammation, and cardiovascular complications (McInnes and Schett, 2011; Arend and Firestein, 2012).

Analysis of polymorphisms in codons 11, 72 and 248 of TP53 in Brazilian women with breast cancer

B. C. Almeida, Kleine, J. P. F. O., Camargo-Kosugi, C. M., Lisboa, M. R., França, C. N., França, J. P., Silva, I. D. C. G., Almeida, B. C., Kleine, J. P. F. O., Camargo-Kosugi, C. M., Lisboa, M. R., França, C. N., França, J. P., and Silva, I. D. C. G., Analysis of polymorphisms in codons 11, 72 and 248 of TP53 in Brazilian women with breast cancer, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The association between TP53 gene polymorphisms and breast cancer (BC) in Brazilian women is a controversial topic. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the association between clinical pathological variables and three polymorphisms (TP53*11, TP53*72, and TP53*248) in BC patients and controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood cells of 393 participants; the cancer-free control subjects were 26-72 years old (41 ± 11.03) and the BC patients were 28-80 years old (51 ± 10.70).

Genetic polymorphisms in very important pharmacogenomic (VIP) variants in the Tibetan population

T. B. Jin, Xun, X. J., Shi, X. G., Yuan, D. Y., Feng, T., Geng, T. T., and Kang, L. L., Genetic polymorphisms in very important pharmacogenomic (VIP) variants in the Tibetan population, vol. 14, pp. 12497-12504, 2015.

Genetic polymorphisms of very important pharmacogenomic (VIP) variants are important for personalized medicine. However, these have not been extensively studied in the Tibetan population. In this study, 82 VIP variants were detected in the Tibetan and Han (HAN) populations from northwestern China.

Analysis of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) multiplex markers related to sudden cardiac death in Brazilian families

D. F. Braganholi and Cicarelli, R. M. B., Analysis of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) multiplex markers related to sudden cardiac death in Brazilian families, vol. 14, pp. 14348-14348, 2015.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major public health concern worldwide, and genetic analysis may be useful in identifying the cause of death as well as in determining the possible genetic risk factors for SCD. This study analyzed eight SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) highly correlated with cardiac sudden death in samples (blood and bone) from six Brazilian families with a history of cardiovascular diseases. Individuals with no family history of cardiovascular diseases were recruited as controls.
