Article Abstract

The T-allele in the GNB3 C825T polymorphism has been associated with increased cell migration, a prerequisite for metastasis. In this study we investigated a potential association of the C825T-allele status and disease progression in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCC). Genotyping of the GNB3 C825T polymorphism was performed in 389 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and in 104 control subjects and clinical follow-up was worked up in 339 patients. Genotype distribution in 389 patients with bladder cancer was comparable to genotype distribution of the control group. There was no association of GNB3 C825T genotype with tumor stage or grade, but follow-up analysis in the subgroup of non-smokers revealed a shorter time to metastasis in 825T-allele carriers compared to individuals homozygous CC. The genotype of the GNB3 C825T polymorphism appears to influence the biological behavior of tumor disease in non-smoking TCC patients.

Background And Aim: Herbal products are widely used to treat patients with disorders of gut brain interaction but clinical efficacy and safety data for treatments lasting >4 weeks are widely lacking. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of 8 weeks of treatment with the herbal combination product STW 5-II for patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) meeting Rome II criteria. We also conducted a post hoc analysis including patients meeting Rome IV criteria for FD and evaluated the effect of the G-protein beta 3 (GNB3) subunit polymorphism (C825T) on therapeutic response.

Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a potentially life-threatening pregnancy-related heart disease. Genetic roles such as gene polymorphisms may relate to the etiology of PPCM. This study analyzes the association between single nucleotide gene polymorphism (SNP) guanine nucleotide-binding protein beta-3 subunit () C825T and insertion/deletion (I/D) of the angiotensin-converting enzyme () gene with the incidence of PPCM.

Objective: Introduction: All components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) are the risk factors for the cardiovascular diseases, and their combination a great deal accelerates and complicates development of the diseases. Phenotypic expression of MS depends on the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The aim: The aim is to study the association of metabolic syndrome components with the genotypes of the C825T polymorphism in the GNB3 gene, which allows predicting the risks and determining individual lifestyle and treatment program for the future.
