Disease relevance of Czech Republic

  • To prove whether the interaction between insertion/deletion (I/D) angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) and M235T angiotensinogen (AGT) gene polymorphic alleles could contribute to causing essential hypertension, we examined subjects from the Czech Republic (365 Caucasians total; 202 normotensives and 163 hypertensives) [1].
  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal types in the Czech Republic [2].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Urine screening was an efficient and accurate method for identifying groups at risk for STDs in the Czech Republic and Slovakia because sample collection was fast and noninvasive, and potential participation bias was reduced by high acceptability [3].
  • We analyzed the genetic diversity of HIV-1 strains circulating in the Czech Republic. Phylogenetic analysis of the env and gag gene sequence fragments from 39 isolates revealed that the majority of these strains (32 of 39, 82%) were of subtype B; other genetic subtypes identified were A, C, F, and recombinant circulating form CRF01_AE [4].
  • Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (298/85) was isolated from the extensively inflamed conjunctiva of a neonate in a regional hospital in Ostrava, Czech Republic. It was resistant to all available antibiotics except cefepime and trimethoprim [5].
 

High impact information on Czech Republic

  • The Czech Republic is among the most aggressive of the former Warsaw Pact countries in encouraging competition and free-market reform [6].
  • Here we report the first comprehensive study of eight unrelated families with NPC2, originating from France, Algeria, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Turkey [7].
  • The first is a 7-bp deletion (del5985-5991) found in a Caucasian family from Ohio. The second mutation (5967insT) was found in a Caucasian family from the Czech Republic. In both cases the EPO dose responses of the erythroid progenitors of the affected subjects were examined to confirm the diagnosis of PFCP [8].
  • Genetic epidemiology of MODY in the Czech republic: new mutations in the MODY genes HNF-4alpha, GCK and HNF-1alpha [9].
  • Prevalence of resistance mechanisms against macrolides and lincosamides in methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci in the Czech Republic and occurrence of an undefined mechanism of resistance to lincosamides [10].

Associations of Czech Republic with chemical compounds

  • Using this system, we assessed 245 clinical isolates of Candida from patients in the hospital of the Faculty of Medicine, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic, for the presence of secreted aspartic proteases (Saps) [23].
  • One hundred and thirty-five patients from Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Spain, and the United States were selected for this study on the basis of abnormal EMA excretion ranging from 18 to 1185 mmol/mol of creatinine (controls < 18 mmol/mol of creatinine) [24].
  • METHODS: Prostitutes working in night clubs and in the streets and roads of three districts in the West Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic bordering on Germany were studied [25].
  • Genotoxicity of urban air pollutants in the Czech Republic. Part I. Bacterial mutagenic potencies of organic compounds adsorbed on PM10 particulates [26].
  • The genetic population structure of Polyommatus coridon (Poda, 1761) (Chalk-hill blue) was studied by means of allozyme electrophoresis in north-eastern Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary [27].
 

Gene context of Czech Republic

  • We show that in the Czech Republic the Delta(GJB6-D13S1830) is not the second most common causal factor in deafness patients heterozygous for a single GJB2 mutation, and that Delta(GJB6-D13S1830) is very rare in central Europe compared to reports from Spain, France and Israel [28].
  • The aim of this study was to analyse the BRCA1 gene in the ovarian cancer risk group to characterize the spectrum of its mutations in the Czech Republic. Five overlapping fragments amplified on both genomic DNA and cDNA were used to screen for the whole protein-coding sequence of the BRCA1 gene [29].
  • Based on our results, genotyping of CHEK2 c.1100delC mutation in clinical settings in the Czech Republic could not be recommended [19].
  • COL6A1 was examined for susceptibility in DISH patients from Japan and the Czech Republic. METHODS: Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms of COL6A1 were genotyped by direct sequencing [30].
  • BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in women with familial or early-onset breast/ovarian cancer in the Czech Republic [31].
