copper metabolism due to mutations in copper transport gene ATP7B resulting in hepatic and neuropsychiatric manifestation. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which mutations in gene ATP7B involved in development of WD and assessment of parameters related to copper metabolism in patients with Wilson disease. Accordingly, blood samples were obtained from 35 patients with WD (20 male and 15 female) with a mean age of 9.12 years and age range of 5 – 40 years old Other 10 apparently, healthy individuals were also included.

    This study was constructed to investigate Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) related infertility through a biochemical and molecular base associated with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and Poly cystic ovary (PCO) gene in Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Patients. The study included fifty blood samples of patients women suffering from Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during the period from November 2015 to January 2016, collected from Kamal al-Samarrai Hospital in Baghdad governorate.

Recently, the increase of the pathogens resistant to recent antimicrobial agents has become a health problem. Accordingly, the current study aimed at the isolation of local actinomycetes spp. that is capable of producing novel bioactive compounds, as well as investigating their biological (antimicrobial and anticancer) activities, in addition to, characterizing and partial purifiying the antimicrobials  metabolites. Forty soil samples were collected in Garmian area,during the period from 2 nd  to 15 th Feb. 2015.
