Antibacterial and Antimutagenic Effects of Synthetic Histidine

This study was accomplished to determine the Histidine behaviors toward two pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) toward exposed to various conditions, as well as to test their susceptibility toward related antibiotics. The method of His measurement in colostrum and natural Iraqi breast milk was modified  by transferring the separation column of  Amino Acid Analyzer (AAA) to a High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) that contains a fluorescent detector.

Detection of Mutations in Exon 10 and 13 of ATP7B Gene among Iraqi patients with Wilson Disease

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.

Genetic Polymorphism in MTHFR and PCO genes associated with the incidence of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in A sample of Iraqi Women

    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.
