Association of the polymorphism in DNA repair enzymes and E-Cadherin gene with ...
Pereira, Eliane dos Santos; Silva-Fernandes, Isabelle Joyce de Lima; Costa, Débora Menezes da; Burbano, Rommel Mario RodriguezSNPs have been associated with gastric cancer susceptibility. Thus, we evaluated the influence of SNPs in DNA repair genes APE1 2197(T>G) and MLH1 -93(G>A), as well as in CDH1 at positions -160 (C>A) and -347 (G>GA) in gastric cancer risk. Analyses were performed on 264 GC patients and 391 healthy controls matched by age and sex from two regions in Brazil, Ceará and Pará. In the general analysis, a protective w...
Molecular analysis of oral bacteria in dental biofilm and atherosclerotic plaqu...
Fernandes, Clarissa Pessoa; Oliveira, Francisco Artur Forte; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de Barros; Alves, Ana Paula Negreiros NunesBackground: Oral bacteria have been detected in atherosclerotic plaques at a variable frequency; however, the connection between oral health and vascular and oral bacterial profiles of patients with vascular disease is not clearly established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of oral bacterial DNA in the mouth and atherosclerotic plaques, in addition to assessing the patients’ caries and perio...
