Publication Open Access Effects of MC4R, FTO, and NMB Gene Variants to Obesity, Physical Activity, and Eating Behavior Phenotypes(WILEY, 2016-10) GÜNEY, AHMET İLTER; Kirac, Deniz; Cakir, Ozgur Kasimay; Avcilar, Tuba; Deyneli, Oguzhan; Kurtel, Hizir; Yazici, Dilek; Kaspar, Elif Cigdem; Celik, Nurgul; Guney, Ahmet IlterObesity is a major contributory factor of morbidity and mortality. It has been suggested that biological systems may be involved in the tendency to be and to remain physically inactive also behaviors such as food and beverage preferences and nutrient intake may at least partially genetically determined. Consequently, besides environment, genetic factors may also contribute to the level of physical activity and eating behaviors thus effect obesity. Therefore the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of various gene mutations on obesity, physical activity levels and eating behavior phenotypes. One hundred patients and 100 controls were enrolled to the study. Physical activity levels were measured with an actical acceloremeter device. Eating behaviors were evaluated using Three-Factor Eating questionnaire (TFEQ). Associations between eating behavior scores and physical characteristics were also evaluated. The information about other obesity risk factors were also collected. Mutations were investigated with PCR, direct sequencing and Real-Time PCR. rs1051168, rs8050146-2778C>T mutations were found statistically significant in patients, rs1121980 was found statistically significant in controls. 21 mutations were found in MC4R and near MC4R of which 18 of them are novel and 8 of them cause amino acid change. In addition, it was found that, some obesity related factors and questions of TFEQ are associated with various investigated gene mutations. Any relation between gene mutations and physical activity levels were not detected. It is thought that, due to the genotype data and eating behaviors, it may be possible to recommend patients for proper eating patterns to prevent obesity.

Chordoma can occur along the axial skeleton, predominantly in the sphenooccipital, vertebral, and sacrococcygeal regions. Although most chordomas are sporadic, familial cases have also been reported. The most common molecular cytogenetic abnormalities in these tumors are monosomy of chromosome I and gain of chromosome 7. In addition, a variety of other chromosomal changes, which are associated with losses and gains of different chromosomes, have also been described in chordomas, such as 1q, 2p, 3p, 5q, 9p, 10, l2q, 13q, 17, and 20q. Methods: In this study, using molecular cytogenetics (iFISH), we have studied 1p36, 1q25, 3p13p14, 7q33, 17p13.1 (p53 gene locus), 2p13 (TGF-alpha locus), 6p12 (VEGF locus), and 4q26-q27 (bFGF/FGF2 locus) loci in chordoma tissues from seven patients with 7 primary tumors and 11 recurrences. Results: We found that chromosomes 1p36, 1q25, 2p13, and 7q33 are affected in primary chordomas, and these aberrations persist in recurrences. However, the chromosome 6p12 aberration was seen only in primary chordomas, but not in recurrences, indicating that this locus may be associated with chordoma genesis. Conclusions: Our descriptive data from interphase FISH analyses suggest that future studies should incorporate a larger number of patients and should focus on identifying the candidate genes in chordoma pathogenesis. Such studies may use a whole-genomic approach, in addition to the regions identified in this study and others. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.

The major aim of the present study is to investigate the association between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and p53 gene mutations in bladder carcinoma. A total of 30 patients with transitional cell carcinoma and 27 controls were recruited for the study. Bladder cancer tissues were obtained by radical cystectomy or transurethral resection. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood. mtDNA and p53 genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced directly. A total of 37 polymorphisms were identified, among which, 2 mutations were significant in the patient group, and 1 mutation was significant in the control group. Additionally, 5 different moderate positive correlations between mtDNA mutations and 3 different positive correlations between p53 gene and mtDNA mutations were detected. The high incidence of mtDNA and p53 gene mutations in bladder cancer suggests that these genes could be important in carcinogenesis.Publication Open Access Autosomal recessive idiopathic epilepsy in an inbred family from Turkey: Identification of a putative locus on chromosome 9q32-33(WILEY, 2004-05) GÜNEY, AHMET İLTER; Baykan, B; Madia, F; Bebek, N; Gianotti, S; Guney, AI; Cine, N; Bianchi, A; Gokyigit, A; Zara, FPurpose: The study describes the clinical features of an inbred family from Turkey with three members affected by seizures and tests possible autosomal recessive (AR) inheritance by means of linkage analysis. Methods: Personal and family history was obtained from each subject, and general physical, neurologic, and EEG examinations were performed. A set of 382 fluorescence-labeled markers was used for the initial genome-wide search. A further set of 83 markers was used to map the locus precisely and to exclude the remaining genome. Results: Twelve individuals from three generations were examined. Two subjects were affected by idiopathic epilepsy, whereas, their brother experienced a single unprovoked generalized seizure. Two siblings affected by idiopathic epilepsy and their unaffected sister showed a photoparoxysmal response to photic stimulation. Nine family members reported migraine. The genome-wide search led to the identification of a unique homozygous, 15.1-cM region shared by subjects with seizures on chromosome 9q32-33 and providing a lod score of 2.9. This locus, however, was not associated with migraine in this pedigree. Conclusions: The study suggests that idiopathic epileptic traits with AR inheritance might be underestimated in the general population and that inbred pedigrees may represent powerful tools for the identification of AR genes.Publication Metadata only LMNA Gen Mutasyonu Saptanan Nadir Mandibuloakral Displazi Olgusu(2020-01-11) GEÇKİNLİ, BİLGEN BİLGE; GÜNEY, AHMET İLTER; ARMAN, AHMET; GEÇKİNLİ B.

The aim of the present study was to examine the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism in elite Turkish wind surfers. The genotyping procedure was carried out by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Five male and three female wind surfers, eight elite wind surfers in total, were enrolled in the study. Five of the surfers had RX, two had XX and one had RR genotypes. Previous findings indicated that the X allele was the endurance allele. Our findings were in agreement with the previous reports. Seven of our subjects had at least one copy of the X allele that was considered to have a tendency to prolong endurance. Our preliminary results must be supported with further studies in greater numbers of subjects to clarify the effect of gene polymorphism.Publication Metadata only A recurrent HPS1 gene mutation in a Hermansky-Pudlak patient with uncommon clinical presentation(2020-02-22) SÖYLEMEZ, MEHMET ALİ; GEÇKİNLİ, BİLGEN BİLGE; GÜNEY, AHMET İLTER; ATA, PINAR; ARMAN, AHMET; ALAVANDA C., ARSLAN ATEŞ E., POLAT H., İlker A., Yıldırım Ö., SÖYLEMEZ M.
