Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the link between two variants (rs4705342 and rs4705343) in the promoter of the miR-143/145 cluster with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. Methods:A total of 1200 subjects were genotyped using the ARMS-PCR method. Results: The rs4705342 variant enhanced the risk of T2DM under codominant CC (OR = 3.24; 95% CI: 1.89-5.60), recessive TT+TC (OR = 3.02; 95% CI: 1.77-5.17), and dominant TC+CC (OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.08-1.71) genetic models. Individuals carrying the C allele of rs4705342 conferred a 1.43 fold increased risk of T2DM. As regards rs4705343, decreased risk of T2DM was observed under codominant TC (OR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.42-0.67), over-dominant TT+CC (OR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.40-0.64), and dominant TC+CC (OR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.48-0.75) models. Haplotype analysis of the variants showed a 1.941-fold increased risk of T2DM regarding the C T combination. Significant associations were noticed between different haplotypes and lipid indices of T2DM patients. There were no notable changes in p-values after adjustment for BMI. Computational analysis revealed that miR143 and/or miR145 target important genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Conclusions: Functional miR-143/145 variants might influence the risk of T2DM. Hence, clarifying the precise regulatory mechanisms of gene expression in the development of T2DM will significantly guide researchers to find a novel target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Infertility is one of the main social and health problems among young couples. Although a noticeable ratio of infertilities are asymptomatic, about half of the cases are observed among males. Various environmental factors such as life style, dietary patterns, and pathogens are associated with male infertility. Mutations and chromosomal abnormalities are also the most important genetic risk factors of male infertility. Similar to other populations, there is a dramatically rising trend of male infertility among Iranian. Regarding the high ratio of asymptomatic cases, it is required to clarify the molecular biology and cellular processes involved in male infertility in this population to suggest an efficient panel of diagnostic markers. In this review, we have summarized all of the cellular and molecular processes which have been reported among Iranian infertile males to clarify the molecular biology of male infertility in this population. It was observed that the stress response, cellular detoxification, and DNA repair processes were the most common aberrant cellular mechanisms among Iranian infertile males. This review paves the way of introducing a population-based diagnostic panel of genetic markers among Iranian infertile males.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The DNA non-homologous end-joining repair gene XRCC6 (Ku70) plays an essential role in the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repairs. Defects in the DSB repair pathway results in genomic instability. Varicocele is characterized by high pressure and stasis in the veins of the testis. There is little knowledge about the molecular mechanisms underlying varicocele. One of the reasons for increased spermatozoa DNA damage is high concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to DNA-DSBs. We assumed that a promoter T-991C (rs5751129) polymorphism in the XRCC6 gene was associated with susceptibility to varicocele in infertile men. Therefore, 63 infertile varicocele men and 150 healthy controls were recruited in our study. The healthy controls had no history of varicocele, and they were matched with patients by age.
Results
Our results showed that infertile varicocele patients and control groups had significant differences in the distribution of their genotypic and allelic frequency (p = 0.00) in the XRCC6 promoter T-991C polymorphism. Men who carried CC genotype had a 5.22-fold increased odds ratio of developing infertile varicocele compared to those who carried the wild-type TT genotype (95% CI 2.31–11.81, P < 0.001).
Conclusions
Our results suggested that the CC genotype and the C allele in the promoter region of XRCC6 gene might play an important role in developing infertility in the varicocele men. Further research is needed to provide the effect of this polymorphism.

Abstract
PURPOSE Converging evidence has recently established the significance of γ-aminobutyric acid neurotransmitter (GABA) system in the development of schizophrenia (SCZ). We aimed to determine the association of two markers of the GABAA receptor β2 subunit gene (GABRB2), rs12187676 G/C and rs1816072 T/C, with the risk of SCZ in Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this case-control study, 190 patients with SCZ and 200 healthy controls were recruited from December 2018 to February 2020. Genotyping was done using the Tetra-ARMS-PCR technique. In silico analyses were performed to determine the potential effects of the variants. RESULTS The C allele and genotypes of codominant CC vs.TT and CT vs.TT, dominant TT vs. TC + CC, recessive TT + TC vs. CC of rs1816072 polymorphism, as well as codominant CC vs. GG and recessive GG + GC vs. CC genetic models of rs12187676 polymorphism were significantly associated with SCZ susceptibility. Compared to the TC/GC model, we have found that the TC/CC combination significantly increased the risk of SCZ by 4.32 fold while the TT/GG combination conferred a protective role against SCZ. Haplotypes analysis indicated that GABRB2 polymorphisms are in weak linkage disequilibrium with each other (LD = 0.1). However, bioinformatics analyses predicted that these polymorphisms do not have significant effects on the secondary structure and the splicing of GABRB2-mRNA. CONCLUSIONS We found that intronic GABRB2 polymorphisms were associated with SCZ risk in a sample of the Iranian population. These findings provided proof of concept for the involvement of the GABAergic neurotransmission system in SCZ development. These observations should be validated across other ethnicities and clinical subtypes.

Abstract
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy. PE is associated with neonate mortality and morbidity. Overexpression of IL-27 and its receptor have been reported frequently in the trophoblast cells of patients with PE. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of IL-27 rs153109, and rs17855750 in an Iranian cohort of 170 PE patients and 170 normal pregnant women using the PCR-RFLP method. In the total PE, the frequency of heterozygous and mutant homozygous genotypes of rs153109 was significantly higher, severe, and mild PE groups. The genotypes and alleles frequencies of rs17855750 gene polymorphism were associated with PE susceptibility in total, severe and early-onset sub-group patients. Haplotype analysis of IL-27 rs153109 and rs17855750 polymorphisms revealed that the mutant GG haplotype frequencies significantly increased the risk of preeclampsia in total PE and different sub-group patients, while the wild AT haplotypes were associated with decreased risk of pre-eclampsia in total and sub-group patients. The in-silico analysis showed the transition of allele A to allele G in rs153109 SNP, would lead to create a new binding site and consequently may lead to changes in IL-27 gene expression. We found that rs17855750 A>G polymorphism might be influence the function of IL-27 protein. The data attained in our study propose the incidence of IL-27rs153109 and rs17855750 SNPs might be capable to be utilized as indicators for the genetic susceptibility to PE.

Abstract
The current study examined the effects of BAX and BCL2 polymorphisms and methylation as well as mRNA expression on susceptibility to PE. After delivery, the placentas were collected from 92 women with PE, as well as 106 normotensive pregnant women. The BAX rs4645878 and BCL2 rs2279115 polymorphisms were genotyped by the PCR-RFLP method. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was used for analysis of promoter methylation. mRNA expression was assayed by Quantitative RT-PCR. In addition, in silico analysis was performed by bioinformatics tools. There was no relationship between PE and placental BAX rs4645878 and BCL2 rs2279115 polymorphisms. The groups were not significantly different regarding the promoter methylation of BAX gene. Nonetheless, the MM status of BCL2 promoter had a significantly higher frequency in the PE group and was associated with 2.7-fold higher risk of PE (OR = 2.7, 95% CI = 1.3-5.6; P = 0.01). The relative mRNA expression of BCL2 was decreased in the placentas of PE women (P < 0.0001). The expression of BAX gene was not significantly different between the two groups. There was no association between placental BAX rs4645878 and BCL2 rs2279115 polymorphisms and mRNA expression levels. In silico analysis indicated that BAX rs4645878 and BCL2 rs2279115 polymorphisms were located in the core recognition site of different transcription factors and these substitutions of wild allele resulted in the loss and/ or change of these binding sites and subsequently may alter BCL2 and BAX expression. This study showed that the BAX and BCL2 polymorphisms and BAX promoter methylation were not associated with PE risk. The BCL2 promoter methylation was associated with lower BCL2 expression and higher PE susceptibility.

Abstract
Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) represents the most severe expression of male infertility, involving around 1% of the male population and 10% of infertile men. This condition is characterised by the inability of the testis to produce sperm cells, and it is considered to have an important genetic component. During the last two decades, different genetic anomalies, including microdeletions of the Y chromosome, karyotype defects, and missense mutations in genes involved in the reproductive function, have been described as the primary cause of NOA in many infertile men. However, these alterations only explain around 25% of azoospermic cases, with the remaining patients showing an idiopathic origin. Recent studies clearly suggest that the so-called idiopathic NOA has a complex aetiology with a polygenic inheritance, which may alter the spermatogenic process. Although we are far from a complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NOA, the use of the new technologies for genetic analysis has enabled a considerable increase in knowledge during the last years. In this review, we will provide a comprehensive and updated overview of the genetic basis of NOA, with a special focus on the possible application of the recent insights in clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose Breast cancer (BC) is a complex disease that is governed by several different environmental and inherited factors. There are many genes have been linked with BC development by screening specific genetic variants within these genes. In this study, we aim to investigate the correlation between Variable Number Tandem Repeat (VNTR) in XRCC5 gene and BC. Materials and methods Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Gel electrophoresis were used to genotype the XRCC5 gene polymorphism in 200 cases with breast cancer and 200 healthy individuals. All participants were Jordanian women from Arab descents. Clinical and pathological characteristics for BC patients were summarized and categorized according to their medical records. Results In this study, we found a strong correlation between the VNTR polymorphism in the XRCC5 gene and BC risk (P-value<0.0001). Remarkably, three different genotypes (2R\2R, 3R\2R and 3R\3R) showed significant association with BC (P-value<0.0001). This study also reported a significant difference in the distribution of allele frequencies between BC patients and healthy individuals (3R; P-value<0.0001 and 2R; P-value<0.001). However, we propose that VNTR of XRCC5 gene did not interfere with BC prognosis. Conclusion We speculate that the VNTR of XRCC5 gene may influence BC development. More investigations are needed in this regard to clarify the underlying role of the XRCC5 genetic variant in tumorgenesis including BC development.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in northern Iran. The DNA repair genes X-ray repair cross-complementing (XRCC) group 5, XRCC6, which are important members of non-homologous end-joining repair system, play an important role in repairing the DNA double-strand breaks. Chronic exposure to heavy metals has long been recognized as being capable of augmenting gastric cancer incidence among exposed human populations. Since trace elements could directly or indirectly damage DNA, and polymorphism in DNA DSBs-repair genes can alter the capacity of system repair, we assumed that XRCC5 VNTR and XRCC6-61C >G polymorphism also impress the DSBs-repair system ability and contribute to gastric cancer. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the tissue accumulation of Selenium (Se), Cadmium (Cd) and Arsenic (As), and XRCC5 VNTR, XRCC6-61C >G polymorphisms in cancerous and non-cancerous tissues in Golestan province. The study population included 46 gastric cancer patients and 43 cancer-free controls. Two polymorphisms of XRCC5, XRCC6 were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Further employed was atomic absorption spectroscopy so as to determine the levels of Se, Cd and As. Finally, the data were analyzed by SPSS (version 16) statistical software. The Se level was significantly higher in tumors as compared to non-tumor tissues, but there was no significant correlation between As and Cd in cancerous and noncancerous tissues. Allele frequencies of the selected genes were not statistically different between groups regarding XRCC6 (-61C>G). XRCC5 0R/0R, 0R/1R, 1R/1R, and 0R/2R genotypes were more common in cancerous group. High levels of Se in cancerous tissues vs. non-cancerous tissues may be one of the carcinogenic factors; in Golestan province, unlike other regions of Iran and the world, the level of Se is high, hence the higher risks of gastric cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pre-eclampsia is a relatively common pregnancy disorder. Serum concentrations of certain pro-inflammatory molecules and cytokines like interleukin-23 may affect the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. The interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene plays an important role in the progression of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and IL-23 polymorphisms might influence the susceptibility of pre-eclampsia. The aim of the recent study was to establish the association between IL-23R gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility for developing of pre-eclampsia. METHODS One hundred and fifty-eight pregnant patients with pre-eclampsia and 153 controls were genotyped using RFLP-PCR and AS-PCR. Also, an in silico analysis was performed to predict possible effects of these variations on IL-23R mRNA and protein structures. RESULTS The frequency of the AG genotype of rs11209026 is related to a higher risk of pre-eclampsia. The mutant C and A allele in rs10889677 and rs11209026 SNPs, respectively, are correlated with the risk of pre-eclampsia and they are more frequent in severe late onset PE. We found higher frequency of the haplotype CG in patients with pre-eclampsia in comparison to healthy controls, as well as, the CG haplotype frequency significantly increased the risk of PE in severe, early onset, and late onset sub-groups. The results of computational analysis predicted rs11209026 and rs10889677 SNPs as functional variations, which can influence IL-23R mRNA and protein. CONCLUSIONS The results of present study show positive association between polymorphisms in the IL-23R gene and pre-eclampsia. Therefore, the presence of IL-23R rs11209026, rs10889677 polymorphism might be markers for the genetic susceptibility to pre-eclampsia.

Abstract
HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) as a lncRNA involves in epigenetic regulation of various genes. Several studies have been suggested the effects of HOTAIR polymorphisms on different diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of maternal and placental HOTAIR polymorphisms on risk of preeclampsia (PE). The maternal blood of 203 preeclamptic and 202 nonpreeclamptic pregnant women as well as the placentas of 87 of preeclamptic and 95 nonpreeclamptic pregnant women were genotyped for HOTAIR polymorphisms. There was no association between maternal and placental HOTAIR polymorphisms (rs12826786, rs920778, and rs1899663) and PE risk. However, the maternal rs4759314AG and dominant model genotypes were associated with increased risk of PE. The maternal and placental HOTAIR rs10783618 polymorphism was associated with PE risk in recessive and allelic models. Haplotype analysis showed that, the maternal CTGAT and CCTAT and placental CTGAT haplotypes were significantly higher and maternal CTGAC, TCTAT, and TTGAT and placental CTGAC haplotypes were significantly lower in PE women. In silico analysis revealed that HOTAIR rs1899663 had a main effect on the secondary structure of mRNA, however, HOTAIR rs4759314 variant had potential alteration of splicing. In conclusion, the maternal and placental HOTAIR rs10783618 polymorphism might increase PE susceptibility. © 2019 IUBMB Life, 71(9):1367-1381, 2019.

Abstract
As with many other diseases, genetic testing in human azoospermia was initially restricted to karyotype analyses (leading to diagnostic chromosome rearrangement tests for Klinefelter and other syndromes). With the advent of molecular biology in the 1980s, genetic screening was broadened to analyses of Y chromosome microdeletions and the gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Decades later, the emergence of whole-genome techniques has led to the identification of other genetic defects associated with human azoospermia. Although TEX11 and ADGRG2 defects are frequently described in men with azoospermia, most of the causal gene defects found to date are private (i.e. identified in a small number of consanguineous families). Here, we provide an up-to-date overview of all the types of genetic defects known to be linked to human azoospermia and try to give clinical practice guidelines according to azoospermia phenotype. Along with homozygous mutations, polymorphisms and epigenetic defects are also briefly discussed. However, as these variations predispose to azoospermia, a specific review will be needed to compile data on all the particular genetic variations reported in the literature.

Abstract
Sperm DNA damage is one of the associated factors of idiopathic male infertility and abnormal spermatogenesis. This study was conducted to assess possible association between risk of male infertility with X-ray repair cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln (G to A) and DNA ligase 4 (LIG4) Thr9Ile (C to T) gene polymorphisms which are involved in different DNA repair pathways. In this case-control study 191 fertile and 191 infertile men (29-40 years old) were enrolled. The single-nucleotide polymorphism genotypes and alleles of XRCC1 Arg399Gln and LIG4 Thr9Ile were assessed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. There was no significant association between XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and risk of male infertility. The frequency of LIG4 Thr9Ile genotypes and alleles were statistically different between fertile and infertile men (p<0.001). We found that the CT genotype increased infertility risk more than threefold (OR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.803-5.407). The LIG4 TT genotype carriers had decreased progressive motile sperm (p<0.05) and increased non-progressive motile sperm (p<0.001) compared with the CC genotype. Moreover, sperm concentration in subjects carrying the CT genotype was lower than that observed in CC carriers (p<0.05). The results revealed that the GG/CT and GA/CT combinations of genotypes increase the risk of infertility 3.5 and fourfold, respectively (p=0.021 and 0.004, respectively). This study demonstrated that there was an association between LIG4 Thr9Ile polymorphism and male infertility and suggests CT genotype as a risk factor for male infertility.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of the DJ-1 gene, g.-6_+10del, and g.168_185del with male infertility susceptibility. METHODS Four hundred and twenty-two male infertile patients and 285 fertile male controls were recruited. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction. In silico analysis was performed by EPD, ElemeNT, SNPnexus, and PROMO to predict the potential functions of rs901561484 and rs373653682 polymorphisms. RESULTS The Del (D) allele carriers of DJ-1 g.-6_+10del polymorphism were significantly associated with the risk of male infertility in total infertile, asthenozoospermia, and oligoasthenozoospermia patients. Moreover, the Del (D) allele of DJ-1 g.-6_+10del polymorphism significantly increased in total male infertile, asthenozoospermia, and oligoasthenozoospermia groups. In addition, the frequencies of different genotypes and the Del allele and Dup allele carriers of DJ-1 g.168_185del gene polymorphisms were associated with male infertility in total infertile and four different sub-group patients. Furthermore, haplotype analysis of DJ-1 g.-6_+10del and g.168_185del polymorphisms revealed that the D-Dup and I-Del haplotype frequencies significantly increased the risk of male infertility, while I-Ins haplotypes were associated with a decreased risk of male infertility in total and sub-group patients. The in silico analysis showed that the presence of Ins and/or Dup alleles of the DJ-1 g.-6_+10del and g.168_185del polymorphisms could provide additional binding sites of more nuclear factors and probably affect transcriptional activity. CONCLUSION(S) Our study presents evidence of a strong association between functional polymorphisms of the DJ-1 promoter, g.-6_+10del, and g.168_185del with the risk of male infertility.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) as a pregnancy-specific disorder is the major cause of mortality and morbidity of mothers and fetuses. This study attempts to investigate the possible association between the 2572C>A (rs4846049) and 4869C>G (rs1537514) polymorphisms in the 3'- untranslated region of MTHFR gene and the risk of PE. A total of 198 patients diagnosed with PE and 171 unrelated, age matched healthy pregnant women, were recruited for this case-control study. The MTHFR 2572C>A and 4869C>G genotyping was performed by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The CG genotype of MTHFR 4869C>G was associated with decreased risk of PE, and this genotype was found to be a protective factor for PE susceptibility. There was no significant difference in the genotypes of MTHFR 2572C>A polymorphism between PE patients and control group. The frequency of combined AC/CG genotypes of MTHFR 2572C>A and 4869C>G polymorphisms were less frequent in PE patients and were associated with a lower risk of PE. The C-G and A-G haplotypes of MTHFR 2572C>A and 4869C>G polymorphisms were significantly lower in PE patients. In conclusion, the CG genotype of MTHFR 4869C>G polymorphism was associated with a lower risk of PE. No association was found between MTHFR 2572C>A polymorphism and PE.
