High impact information on Population Groups

  • Low plasma beta-carotene levels averaging 8-12 micrograms/dl were observed among the population groups [11].
  • The average plasma retinol levels ranged from 24 to 27 micrograms/dl among the population groups, with 20-35% of the individuals having levels under 20 micrograms/dl [11].
  • SETTING: 2 public health department clinics in North Carolina. Participants: 121 adults who had recently emigrated from Vietnam to North Carolina and who were ethnic Vietnamese and ethnic Dega, a minority population group from the central highlands region of Vietnam [12].
  • In the same population group we have studied extensively in the past, we found a higher association of a TAP1 allele with IDDM than with any single HLA-DP allele but the risk was lower than with HLA-DQB1*0302 [13].
  • Apo J revealed a common two-allele polymorphism only in populations with African ancestry and was found to be monomorphic in all other population groups tested [14].

Gene context of Population Groups

  • BACKGROUND: Although CYP2D6 has been studied extensively in different population groups, relatively little is known for black Americans [34].
  • MICA, HLA-B haplotypic variation in five population groups of sub-Saharan African ancestry [35].
  • This approach allowed extrapolation of the recombinant clearance data to specific population groups and investigation of the role of "minor" forms like CYP3A5 and CYP2C19 in comparison to the most prolific CYP3A4 [36].
  • C4A alleles A*4, A*45, A*58, A*12, A*14, A*19 and the C4A*3 A*91 duplication were only found in the San/Khoi population group [37].
  • DNA samples of 2303 individuals from nine different population groups were screened for variant -175g-->t in the promoter region of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene [38].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Population Groups

  • HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR, -DQ typing in a population group of Senegal: distribution of HLA antigens and HLA-DRB1*13 and DRB1*11 subtyping by PCR using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) [39].
  • A randomized, double-blind study used 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring to compare the effects of 2 beta blockers, bisoprolol (10 to 20 mg; n = 107) and atenolol (50 to 100 mg; n = 96), administered once daily in 4 population groups [18].
  • When different population groups of tropical Venezuela were evaluated using ELISA based upon Toxocara excretory-secretory antigen (TcESA), solid-phase adsorption of the sera with extracts of a wide variety of non-homologous parasites revealed the existence of significant cross-reactivity [40].
  • A simple nonradioactive method of DNA typing for subsets of HLA-DR4: prevalence data on HLA-DR4 subsets in three diabetic population groups [41].
  • OBJECTIVE: To characterize the carotenoid content of selected components of the Mediterranean diet commonly eaten by Greek migrants to Melbourne, a population group maintaining a traditional dietary regimen, and who exhibit relatively high circulating carotenoid concentrations and low cardiovascular disease mortality [42].
