Investigation of the impacts of linkage disequilibrium on SNP selection studies
Kantar Özçırpan, Ekin; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; İyigün, Cem; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015)
In many Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), the relation between SNPs and complex diseases has being tried to reveal. Moreover it is known that, in GWAS there exist a high amount of data which include relations between SNPs, phenotypes and diseases, etc. Many algorithms have been used to be able to reach the desired information from this huge data. Therefore, in this study, an algorithm one of whose important steps is based on linkage disequilibrium(LD), was constructed to eliminate the redundant inform...
Increased Serum Interleukin-23 Levels In Patients With Behcet Disease-Associated Uveitis
Gurses, Ozlem; Koc, Elcin Kartal (2014-04-01)
Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the serum interleukin (IL) levels between the patients with extraocular manifestations of Behçet disease and Behçet disease-associated uveitis. Methods: This is a prospective study involving 12 patients with extraocular manifestations of Behçet disease and 16 patients with Behçet disease-associated uveitis. The patients are involved in this study according to declaration of Helsinki. Inclusion criteria for all patients consist of a positive HLA B51 tissue typing...
Upregulation of multi drug resistance genes in doxorubicin resistant human acute myelogeneous leukemia cells and reversal of the resistance
BARAN, YUSUF; Guer, Bala; Kaya, Pelin; Ural, Ali Ugur; Avcu, Ferit; Gündüz, Ufuk (2007-12-01)
The major problem in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients results from multidrug resistance to administered anticancer agents. Drug resistance proteins, MDR1 and MRP1, which work as drug efflux pumps, can mediate the multidrug resistance of human leukemia cells. In this study, the mechanisms of resistance to doxorubicin-induced cell death in human HL60 AML cells were examined.
Importance of NOS3 Genetic Polymorphisms in the Risk of Development of Ischemic Stroke in the Turkish Population
ÖZÇELİK, AYSUN; CAN DEMİRDÖĞEN, BİRSEN; Demirkaya, Seref; Adalı, Orhan (2014-12-01)
In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) G894T, T-786C, and intron 4 variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) variants, alone or in combination, and the risk of incidence of ischemic stroke in the Turkish population. The genotypes for all polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques on 245 ischemic stroke patients and 145 controls. In the case-control analysis, no signifi...
A multi-layered graphical model of the relation among SNPS, GENES, and pathways based on subgraph search
Ersoy, Gökhan; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Can, Tolga; Department of Bioinformatics (2015)
The analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) through Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) presents great potential for describing disease loci and gaining insight into the underlying etiology of diseases. Recently described combined p-value approach allows identification of associations at gene and pathway level. The integrated programs like METU-SNP produce simple lists of either SNP id/gene id/pathway title and their p-values and significance status or SNP id/disease id/pathway information. In...
