- 遗传流行病学遗传流行病学
- 痛风病变的发生因子
背景情况:
- 肠道微生物群在痛风中的作用越来越被认可,但尚未完全理解.
- 肠道细菌和痛风之间的具体因果关系尚不清楚.
- 研究微生物组介导的痛风机制对于临床应用至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 使用孟德尔随机化研究肠道微生物群和痛风之间的因果关系.
- 阐明微生物组参与痛风发展的潜在机制.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
13.3K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

Mismatch Repair
4.8K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
