ASSOCIATIONS OF POLYMORPHISMS IN CYTOKINE GENES WITH THE INFECTIOUS GENESIS Of RECCURENT MISCARRIAGE

The associations of polymorphisms in cytokine genes with the infectious form recurrent miscarriage were investigated. Have established, that at the women a genotype AA of a gene TNFA (rs1800629) and combination of genotypes *1/*1 genes IL1RN and GG of a gene IL6 (rs1800795) are involved in pathogenesis recurrent miscarriage

THE ASSOCIATION OF IMMUNE RESPONSE TO XENOAND ENDOBIOTIKS AND THEIRS BIOTRANSFORMATION ENZYME GENE POLYMORPHISM WITH CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS OF THE FETUS

The correlation between immune response to benzo(a)pyrene and progesterone in combination with detoxification enzyme gene polymorphism (CYPIA2*1F and GSTTI) and the occurrence of congenital malformations of the fetus was revealed. It is shown that at high ratio of IgA-antibodies to benzo(a)pyrene and to progesterone in conjunction with the mutant allele of the gene CYPIA2*1F and the deletion genotype of the gene GSTTI chance of the reproductive pathology developing increases to 41 times

An analysis-ready and quality controlled resource for pediatric brain white-matter research

We created a set of resources to enable research based on openly-available diffusion MRI (dMRI) data from the Healthy Brain Network (HBN) study. First, we curated the HBN dMRI data (N = 2747) into the Brain Imaging Data Structure and preprocessed it according to best-practices, including denoising and correcting for motion effects, susceptibility-related distortions, and eddy currents. Preprocessed, analysis-ready data was made openly available. Data quality plays a key role in the analysis of dMRI. To optimize QC and scale it to this large dataset, we trained a neural network through the combination of a small data subset scored by experts and a larger set scored by community scientists. The network performs QC highly concordant with that of experts on a held out set (ROC-AUC = 0.947). A further analysis of the neural network demonstrates that it relies on image features with relevance to QC. Altogether, this work both delivers resources to advance transdiagnostic research in brain connectivity and pediatric mental health, and establishes a novel paradigm for automated QC of large datasets

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CYTOKINE GENE POLYMORPHISMS AND RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE

Associations between IL1B (rs1143634), IL1RN (VNTR, intron 2), IL4 (VNTR, intron 3), TNFA (rs1800629, rs361525), IL6 (rs1800795), and IL10 (rs1800896) genetic polymorphisms in women with recurrent miscarriage (RM) were analyzed. We studied DNA samples of 112 women with RM and 267 women with physiological pregnancy. The IL1RN, IL4 genotypes were identified by PCR techniques, the IL1B, IL6 gene polymorphisms were defined by means of RFLP approach. To detect TNFA and IL10 gene polymorphisms, TaqMan real-time PCR was used. The results have shown that polymorphic loci of IL1B, IL1RN, IL10, TNFA genes were not associated with RM, and early spontaneous abortion risk. The 2R allele of IL4 gene was found to be associated with higher RM risk (OR = 1.52; 95% CI = [1.08-2.14]; P-value (cor) = 0.05), and G allele of IL6 gene was associated with a risk for > 3 early spontaneous abortions (OR = 2.10; 95% CI = [1.24-3.56]; P-value (cor) = 0.05), in an additive inheritance model. Upon evaluation of the data obtained, one may conclude that the IL4 (VNTR intron 3) and IL6 (rs1800795) gene polymorphisms could influence the RM development. These results may be useful for assessment of molecular mechanisms underlying early spontaneous abortion
