Comparison between the HLA-B∗58 : 01 Allele and Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Chromosome 6 for Prediction of Allopurinol-Induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions by Niwat Saksit, Nontaya Nakkam, Parinya Konyoung, Usanee Khunarkornsiri, Wongwiwat Tassaneeyakul, Pansu Chumworathayi, Sirimas Kanjanawart, Chonlaphat Sukasem, Alisara Sangviroon, Oranuch Pattanacheewapull, Wichittra Tassaneeyakul

“…The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of these SNPs were comparable to those of the HLA-B∗58 : 01 allele. Although detection of the SNP is simpler and less expensive compared with that of the HLA-B∗58 : 01 allele, these SNPs were not perfectly linked with the HLA-B∗58 : 01 allele. …”

Association between IFN-γ +874A/T and IFN-γR1 (-611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T) Gene Polymorphisms and Chronic Periodontitis in a Sample of Iranian Population by Zahra Heidari, Hamidreza Mahmoudzadeh-Sagheb, Mohammad Hashemi, Somayeh Ansarimoghaddam, Bita Moudi, Nadia Sheibak

“…The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies for IFN-γR1 (-611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T) were similar among the groups and no differences in the frequencies of alleles or genotypes of IFN-γR1 genetic polymorphisms variants between case and control groups were detected. Conclusion. The finding of this study showed that IFN-γ +874A/T gene polymorphism may affect susceptibility to CP, whereas IFN-γR1 genetic polymorphisms at -611A/G, +189T/G, and +95C/T were not associated with this disease.…”
