Volume 8, Issue 4 , December 2011, , Pages 244-250

Abstract
  Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is caused by Leishmania infantum in Mediterranean basin and is an endemic disease in some parts of Iran. Canines are the main reservoirs of VL in most of the endemic areas. Different serological methods have been introduced for diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis ...  Read More

Null Allele Frequencies at HLA-G Locus in Iranian Healthy Subjects

Roghayeh Rahimi; Ahmad Zavaran Hosseini; Fatemeh Yari

Volume 5, Issue 4 , December 2008, , Pages 207-211

Abstract
  Background: HLA-G gene contains 15 alleles including a null allele, HLA-G*0105N. Previous studies have shown that HLA-G*0105N does not encode the complete HLA-G1 or HLA-G5 isoforms but encodes a functional HLA-G protein with the ability to in-hibit NK cell cytolysis. Thus, although the biological functions ...  Read More

Analysis of Human Leukocyte Antigen class II Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Patients with Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome: a Family Study

Shirin Farjadian; Mehrdad Lotfazar; Abbas Ghaderi

Volume 5, Issue 3 , September 2008, , Pages 171-176

Abstract
  Background: Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and early development of aggressive pe-riodontitis. Although cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations have been established in about 70-80% of PLS patients, it is assumed that the ...  Read More
