polymorphisms in pregnant women and an increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction in …

Based on titration microcalorimetry and Caco-2 cell line transfection studies, it has been
suggested that the A54T of the FABP2 gene plays a significant role in the assimilation of …

Objectives: To describe the characteristics of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-deficient patients seen
in infancy and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of severe fat restriction. Methods: Children< …

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are etiological agents of cervical cancer. In order to address
clinical demand for HPV detection and sequence typing, mostly in pre‐cancerous cervical …

Background. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a dominantly-inherited disorder
attributable to a defect in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene. Five mutations at …

An in-house polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing (PCR-DS) approach for HPV
detection and typing was developed, taking advantage of two widely used pairs of human …

The wide variability in the biochemical expression of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is
only partly explained by mutational heterogeneity in the low density lipoprotein receptor …

Papillomaviruses consist of more than 130 viral types described so far. Most of them are
human papillomaviruses (HPV) of supergroup A, demonstrating ano-genital tropism and …

Papillomaviruses of supergroup A exhibit genital tropism and are best known as etiologic
agents for benign and malignant cervical lesions in women. A polymerase chain reaction …

This study of specimens of human papillomaviruses (HPV) through HPV-specific
polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by direct sequencing, resulted in 11%(38/354) …
