The application of gene expression profiling in predictions of occult lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer patients (2018)
Journal Article
Peyravian, N., Larki, P., Gharib, E., Nazemalhosseini-Mojarad, E., Anaraki, F., Young, C., …Zali, M. (2018). The application of gene expression profiling in predictions of occult lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer patients. Biomedicines, 6(1), 27. https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines6010027

A key factor in determining the likely outcome for a patient with colorectal cancer is whether or not the tumour has metastasised to the lymph nodes-information which is also important in assessing any possibilities of lymph node resection so as to i...

GJA4/connexin 37 mutations correlate with secondary lymphedema following surgery in breast cancer patients (2018)
Journal Article
Hadizadeh, M., Mohaddes Ardebili, S., Salehi, M., Young, C., Mokarian, F., McClellan, J., …Bonab, M. A. (2018). GJA4/connexin 37 mutations correlate with secondary lymphedema following surgery in breast cancer patients. Biomedicines, 6(1), 23. https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines6010023

Lymphedema is a condition resulting from mutations in various genes essential for lymphatic development and function, which leads to obstruction of the lymphatic system. Secondary lymphedema is a progressive and incurable condition, most often manife...

An old dog and new tricks: Genetic analysis of a Tudor dog recovered from the Mary Rose wreck (2014)
Journal Article
Zouganelis, G. D., Ogden, R., Nahar, N., Runfola, V., Bonab, M., Ardalan, A., …Scarlett, G. (2014). An old dog and new tricks: Genetic analysis of a Tudor dog recovered from the Mary Rose wreck. Forensic Science International, 245, 51-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2014.10.001

© 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. The Tudor warship the Mary Rose sank in the Solent waters between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight on the 19th of July 1545, whilst engaging a French invasion fleet. The ship was rediscovered in 1971 and between 1979 and... Read More about An old dog and new tricks: Genetic analysis of a Tudor dog recovered from the Mary Rose wreck.

Influences of history, geography, and religion on genetic structure: The Maronites in Lebanon (2010)
Journal Article
Zalloua, P. A., Soria-Hernanz, D. F., Youhanna, S. C., Badro, D. A., Platt, D. E., Haber, M., …Zalloua, P. A. (2011). Influences of history, geography, and religion on genetic structure: The Maronites in Lebanon. European Journal of Human Genetics, 19(3), 334-340. https://doi.org/10.1038/ejhg.2010.177

Cultural expansions, including of religions, frequently leave genetic traces of differentiation and in-migration. These expansions may be driven by complex doctrinal differentiation, together with major population migrations and gene flow. The aim of...

Distribution of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and their HLA-C ligands in two Iranian populations (2009)
Journal Article
Hiby, S. E., Ashrafian-Bonab, M., Farrell, L., Single, R. M., Balloux, F., Carrington, M., & Moffett, A. (2010). Distribution of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and their HLA-C ligands in two Iranian populations. Immunogenetics, 62(2), 65-73. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00251-009-0408-5

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) gene frequencies vary between populations and contribute to functional variation in immune responses to viruses, autoimmunity and reproductive success. This study describes the frequency distribution of... Read More about Distribution of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and their HLA-C ligands in two Iranian populations.

Geographical structure of the Y-chromosomal genetic landscape of the levant: A coastal-inland contrast (2009)
Journal Article
El-Sibai, M., Platt, D. E., Haber, M., Xue, Y., Youhanna, S. C., Wells, R. S., …The Genographic Consortium, . (2009). Geographical structure of the Y-chromosomal genetic landscape of the levant: A coastal-inland contrast. Annals of Human Genetics, 73(6), 568-581. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-1809.2009.00538.x

We have examined the male-specific phylogeography of the Levant and its surroundings by analyzing Y-chromosomal haplogroup distributions using 5874 samples (885 new) from 23 countries. The diversity within some of these haplogroups was also examined.... Read More about Geographical structure of the Y-chromosomal genetic landscape of the levant: A coastal-inland contrast.

Is urbanization scrambling the genetic structure of human populations? A case study (2006)
Journal Article
Handley, L. J., Ashrafian-Bonab, M., Lawson Handley, L. J., & Balloux, F. (2007). Is urbanization scrambling the genetic structure of human populations? A case study. Heredity, 98(3), 151-156. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.hdy.6800918

Recent population expansion and increased migration linked to urbanization are assumed to be eroding the genetic structure of human populations. We investigated change in population structure over three generations by analysing both demographic and m... Read More about Is urbanization scrambling the genetic structure of human populations?
