Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastalardan alınan kan ve kemik iliği örneklerinden total RNA/mRNA izolasyonunu takiben cDNA'ları elde edilerek revers-transkriptaz-polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (RT-PCR) yöntemiyle inv16 kantitasyonu LightCycler2 cihazında gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Dört yüz iki olgu, inv(16) CBFBETA-MYH11 inversiyonu açısından değerlendirildi. Yapılan analiz sonucunda 12 (% 4) erişkin ve 7...

We describe a family case of homozygous factor V Leiden mutation in two siblings presenting with acute myocardial infarction as a rare cause of myocardial infarction in the young.

Several studies have shown that polymorphisms in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and apolipoprotein-E (Apo-E) are effective in developing the insulin resistance and also in increasing the risk of coronary heart disease. In present study, the frequencies of ACE, Apo-E gene polymorphisms, apolipoprotein-B (Apo-B) mutation and lipid compositions were determined in full-term newborn infants with IUGR. Forty-four newborn infants who had completed 36 weeks of gestational age, 24 healthy infants and 20 with IUGR, were taken into the scope of the study. While total cholesterol (TC) and Apo-B concentrations in infants with IUGR was found to be significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and Apo-A1 levels were ...

Cardiac catheterization revealed subtotal occlusion and a thrombus-like filling defect in the right coronary artery. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous tirofiban. Essential thrombocythemia was diagnosed based on bone marrow findings, clinical presentation and laboratory analysis. The relationship between intracoronary thrombus and essential thrombocythemia is discussed.

FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion was assessed with two protocols at RNA level. The fusion transcript was found positive at the RNA level with both PCR methods in two cases. In this study, the efficiency of imatinib treatment and a dramatic response in two HES cases with multisystemic involvement showing the characteristics of a chronic myeloproliferative disease were presented. Both cases showed complete responses confirming that imatinib mesylate treatment could be successful even in patients with advanced HES having myeloproliferative disease.

The disposable pencil graphite electrode (PGE) is designed as a “kit” and the probe DNA covered PGE can detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from real samples based on the guanine oxidation signal even after 5 months of kit preparation (150 days durability).The detection limit (S/N=3) of the biosensor was calculated as 1.18 pmol of synthetic target sequence and 6.09×105 molecules of real samples in 30 min detection time.
