Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the chief causes of death in the world. Several
hypotheses have been promoted as for the origin of the disease, among which are genetic
predispositions and/or environmental factors. The aim of this study was to determine the
effect of factor V (FV) gene polymorphisms (Leiden, G1691A [FVL] and HR2 A4070G) and to
analyze their association with traditional risk factors in assessing the risk of CAD. Our
study population included 200 Tunisian patients with symptomatic CAD and a control group
of 300 participants matched for age and sex. All participants were genotyped for the FVL
and HR2 polymorphisms. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to analyze independent
factors associated with the risk of CAD. Our analysis showed that the FVL A allele
frequency (P < 10–3, odds ratio [OR] = 2.81, 95% confidence
interval [CI] = 1.6-4.9) and GA genotype (P < 10–3, OR =
4.03, 95% CI = 2.1-7.6) are significantly more prevalent among patients with CAD compared
to those controls and may be predisposing to CAD. We further found that the FVL mutation
is an independent risk factor whose effect is not modified by other factors (smoking,
diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and a family history of CAD) in increasing the risk
of the disease. However, analysis of FV HR2 variation does not show any statistically
significant association with CAD. The FVL polymorphism may be an independent risk factor
for CAD. However, further investigations on these polymorphisms and their possible
synergisms with traditional risk factors for CAD could help to ascertain better
predictability for CAD susceptibility.

Abstract
During the last decade genetic factors affecting coumarin therapy have been extensively investigated. The most important genes appear to be CYP2C9 and VKORC1, and different studies have shown that DNA testing can dramatically improve the safety and effectiveness of the therapy. However, the implementation of pharmacogenetic testing in everyday practice is still not a reality. Facilities and ability to get results before the start of therapy are very important. The implementation of specific methodology and equipment for particular type of diagnostics can represent a serious, even impossible, financial hurdle to overcome (especially in developing countries). For this reason, the use of every tool that contributes to rationalization of the existing methods can be a considerable asset. Therefore, we set the goal to rationalize our current DNA sequencing based protocol for analysis of the VKORC1 c.-1639G> A, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 variant alleles, in order to obtain shorter and easier procedure. Simplification of the protocol was achieved by setting up multiplex PCR and omitting DNA extraction. This rationalization of the existing DNA sequencing based procedure allows getting results in 12 hours. The new protocol was tested on 118 samples. Obtained results have shown full accordance to those obtained with previous, non-modified protocol. Therefore, given the circumstances, we consider that protocol for pharmocogenetic testing should be made more accessible - both to doctors and patients. It is one of the prerequisites in order to make genotyping prior to the therapy common practice.

Abstract
During the past decade many new molecular methods for DNA and RNA analysis have emerged. The most popular thus far have been SSCP, HET, CMC, DGGE, RFLP or ASA, which have now been replaced by methods that are more cost effective and less time consuming. Real-time amplification techniques and particularly those with the capacity of multiplexing have become commonly used in laboratory practice. Novel screening methods enable the very rapid examination of large patients series. Use of liquid handling robotics applied to the isolation of DNA or RNA, the normalisation of sample concentration, and standardization of target amplification by PCR have also contributed to a reduced risk of sample contamination and have resulted in laboratory analysis being easier and faster. The aim of this study is the introduction of a few modern techniques, most commonly used in detection of genetic predisposition to cancer.

Awad NS, El-Tarras AES. Prevalence of H1299R polymorphism in the Factor V gene among the Taif-Saudi Arabia population using polymerase chain reaction-reverse hybridization technique. Mol Biol Rep 2011; 39:439-43.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a major health hazard worldwide. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) represent a part of risk factors that contributes to cardiovascular disease. SNP in the coagulation factor V genes have been shown to play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Coagulation Factor V is an enzyme cofactor of the coagulation system and contributes to a normal haemostatic balance. The His1299Arg polymorphism in the Factor V gene has been identified and linked to hereditary thrombophilia. The aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of HR2 haplotype and allele frequency of His1299Arg polymorphism in the Factor V gene among randomly selected healthy individuals from Taif population which belonging to western region of Saudi Arabia. Genotyping of this SNP was carried out via CVD StripAssay, which based on a polymerase chain reaction-reverse hybridization technique. Two hundred healthy unrelated individuals were included in the study. Seventeen out of the studied population (8.5%) had the HR2 haplotype; 14 (7%) were heterozygous (R1/R2), and three (1.5%) were homozygous (R2/R2), with an allelic frequency of 0.05. This is the first report for a Saudi Arabian population that estimates the prevalence of HR2 haplotype and its allele frequencies. In conclusion, the His1299Arg mutant was noticeable within population of western Saudi Arabia. Further larger studies are needed to (1) estimate the prevalence of this mutant among individuals belonging to different KSA locations (2) assess the relative contribution of this mutational event separately and in combination with other thrombophilic polymorphisms in the etiology of cardiovascular disease in KSA.

[PMID: 21071160 DOI: 10.1016/j.forsciint.2010.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2010] [Revised: 09/14/2010] [Accepted: 10/02/2010] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
One of the major challenges in the near future is the identification of genes that affect the metabolism of different drugs. Large scale association studies that utilise single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been considered a valuable tool for this purpose. CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 were found to be involved in the majority of hepatically cleared drugs. To determine the allele frequencies of some SNPs that may have great potential value in forensic science, we screened 50 SNPs in these 5 CYP genes in Chinese Han people using an accurate, high-throughput, cost-effective method. Primers were designed using the MassARRAY Assay Design software. Genomic DNA was prepared from blood samples obtained from individuals of Chinese Han origin. Multiplex PCR was performed to amplify the relevant gene fragments, and the polymorphisms were analysed by allele-specific primer extension followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A panel of genomic DNA samples previously genotyped by other methods were analysed simultaneously for quality control, and the results demonstrated that this assay was 100% accurate. A total of 17 of the analysed SNPs were polymorphic. Of these 17 SNPs, 8 (rs16947, rs28371725, rs1800754, rs4244285, rs4986893, rs12248560, rs3758580, rs2242480) had an allele frequency that was significantly different between this Chinese Han population and Caucasians (p<0.01). In addition, the frequencies of two of these SNPs (rs1800754, rs3758581) in our Chinese Han population differed significantly from the existing Chinese frequency data (p<0.01). The described method thus provides reliable results and enables the genotyping of up to thousands of samples by taking advantage of the high-throughput MALDI-TOF technology. The results herein are now included as a supplement to the P450 database.
