Items for "single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)"
Background: The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I), designated as DNASE1 (NCBI SNP number; 1053874), in exon 8 (A2317G) is considered to be one of the susceptibility genes for gastric and colorectal carcinoma and myocardial infarction...

Background: Genes correlated with nicotine may be important in obesity because of the role of nicotine in food intake.
Methods: To determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ?2 subunit gene (CHRNA2) are associated with overweight/obesity, 156 non-obese and 200 overweight/obese Koreans were genotyped for four CHRNA2 SNPs using an Affymetrix Array Chip.
Results: Of four SNPs, only one, rs2043063, was associated with overweight/obesity in the study population (co-dominant, p=0.049; dominant, p=0.027)...
