Association of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis
Yigit, Serbulent; Inanir, Ahmet; Tural, Sengul; Ates, Omer (Elsevier, 2012)We sought to determine the frequency of I/D polymorphism genotypes of angiotensin converting enzyme gene in Turkish patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Genomic DNA obtained from 256 individuals (110 patients with rheumatoid ... -
Association of IL-4 gene VNTR variant with deep venous thrombosis in Behcet's disease and its effect on ocular involvement
Inanir, Ahmet; Tural, Sengul; Yigit, Serbulent; Kalkan, Goknur; Pancar, Gunseli Sefika; Demir, Helin Deniz; Ates, Omer (Molecular Vision, 2013)Purpose: Behcet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by inflammatory lesions of the urogenital mucosa, eyes, skin, central nervous system, and joints. Vein thrombosis constitutes the most frequent vascular ... -
Association of MEFV Gene Mutations With Rheumatoid Factor Levels in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inanir, Ahmet; Yigit, Serbulent; Karakus, Nevin; Tekin, Saban; Rustemoglu, Aydin (Bmj Publishing Group, 2013)Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the joints. Arthritis disorders are associated with mutations of the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene. This gene has already been ... -
Common Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene mutations associated with ankylosing spondylitis in Turkish population
Yigit, Serbulent; Inanir, Ahmet; Karakus, Nevin; Kesici, Esra; Bozkurt, Nihan (Hindawi Ltd, 2012)Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory rheumatic disease. Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene, which has already been identified as being responsible for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), is also a suspicious ... -
DD genotype of ACE gene I/D polymorphism is associated with Behcet disease in a Turkish population
Yigit, Serbulent; Tural, Sengul; Rustemoglu, Aydin; Inanir, Ahmet; Gul, Ulker; Kalkan, Goknur; Ates, Omer (Springer, 2013)Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic, multi-systemic and inflammatory disorder. The local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the vessel wall plays a role in the endothelial control and contributes to inflammatory processes. ... -
