Association between polymorphisms in ADAM33, CD14, and TLR4 with asthma in the Uygur population in China

J. Wang, Simayi, M., Wushouer, Q., Xia, Y., He, Y., Yan, F., Zhang, J., Cui, S., and Wen, H., “Association between polymorphisms in ADAM33, CD14, and TLR4 with asthma in the Uygur population in China”, vol. 13, pp. 4680-4690, 2014.

We evaluated the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the genes encoding a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 33 (ADAM33), cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the susceptibility of developing specific adult phenotypes of bronchial asthma in a Chinese Uygur population.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in immunity-related genes and their association with mastitis in Chilean dairy cattle

A. M. Carvajal, Huircan, P., and Lepori, A., “Single nucleotide polymorphisms in immunity-related genes and their association with mastitis in Chilean dairy cattle”, vol. 12, pp. 2702-2711, 2013.

Mastitis remains a major cattle disease with great global economic implications. Various approaches are currently employed in attempts to improve understanding of mastitis resistance and develop phenotypic markers for use in breeding programs (e.g., somatic cell score), including QTL discovery, wide-genome association studies, and identification of candidate genes related to immune function.
