Immune Profiling of SARS-CoV-2; What We Know and What We Don’t Know
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), described as World War 3, is the current worldwide health challenge and nearly all countries have so far faced this disaster. There is still no cure because of the complicated pathogenesis, however, there are several studies on track investigating different aspects of the immune response to the virus. In this review, we will provide an overview of recent investigations that have analyzed immune cells in patients with COVID-19. We will then discuss the differences in immune profiles between healthy controls and various clinical presentations, including asymptomatic, mild, moderate, and severe cases
DFNB59 Gene Mutation Screening Using PCR-SSCP/HA Technique in Non-syndromic Genetic Hearing Loss in Bushehr Province
Background: Hearing impairment (HI) is the most prevalent Neurosensory disorder which is
heterogenous and can also occur due to environmental causes. The majority of hearing
deficiencies are of genetic origin affecting about 60% of the HI cases. A novel gene DFNB59
encodes pejvakin has been recently shown to cause deafness. This study aims to determine
the frequency of DFNB59 gene mutations in coding region the gene in Bushehr province.
Methods: In this descriptive experimental study, we investigated the presence of DFNB59
