Cytokine gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are involved in the genesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We hypothesized that combined effects of cytokine gene SNPs and SNP-SNP interactions are associated with HCC risk. Six SNPs in cytokine genes (IL-2, IFN-${\gamma}$, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, and IL-10) were genotyped in a study of 720 Chinese HCC cases and 784 cancer-free controls. Although none of these SNPs individually had a significant effect on the risk of HCC, we found that the combined effects of these six SNPs may contribute to HCC risk (OR=1.821, 95% CI=1.078-3.075). This risk was pronounced among smokers, drinkers, and hepatitis B virus carriers. A SNP-SNP interaction between IL-2-330 and IFN-${\gamma}$-1615 was associated with an increased HCC risk (OR=1.078, 95% CI=1.022-1.136). In conclusion, combined effects of SNPs and SNP-SNP interactions in cytokine genes may contribute to HCC risk.

In accordance with the opening of the Korean rice market, this study was focused on establishment of database for discriminating the Korean rice varieties and imported brand rices using DNA markers. In this study, the SNP markers were developed using single nucleotide polymorphisms between the reference sequences of japonica and them of 40 brand rices which collected in Australia, China, Thailand, United States and Vietnam. The developed SNP markers were screened to a total of 360 rices including 320 Korean rice varieties and 40 imported brand rices. We selected polymorphic markers among Korean bred rive varieties and imported brand rices. The selected markers were classified into 3 grades. The markers of A grade produced DNA band in 360 rices of 30~40%, B grades produced in 40~60%, and C grades produced bands over 60% rices. First, we tried to set-up the discriminating system using the minimum SNP markers of A grade. Especially, a set of sixteen SNP markers could identify among Korean bred rice varieties and imported brand rices. Additionally, some SNP markers like NSb for Pib gene, JJ80-T for Pi5 and YL155/YL87 for Pita which linked to resistance genes to blast were used to fingerprinting system. These markers were set-up as multiplex set for enhancing the identification efficiency among rice varieties. Finally, the selected SNP markers would be used to the fluidigm assay to construct the database for elaborate discrimination of rice varieties.

A major aim of cattle genome research is to identify candidate genes associated with meat quantity and quality through QTL analysis for application in the livestock industry. Therefore, this study focused on discovery of useful SNPs within the LOC534614 gene, containing 12273_165 SNP which is located on the same site as the QTL on chromosome 6, and evaluation of the association between SNP and body weight and cold carcass weight in Hanwoo (Korean cattle) As a result of a BLAST search of the NCBI web site, we discovered that the mRNA sequence of the LOC534614 gene was similar to that of the coiled-coil domain containing 158 (CCDC158) for dog and human. According to the direct DNA sequence from the CCDC158 gene, we identified 19 polymorphic SNPs within exons and their flanking regions. Among them, 17 polymorphic SNPs were selected for genotyping in Hanwoo (n = 476) and seventeen marker haplotypes containing 12273_165 SNP (frequency >0.1) were identified. As a result of the association between 17 polymorphic SNPs and Hanwoo (n = 476), g.8778G>A SNP in exon 6 was found to be a non-synonymous SNP, and was significantly associated with body weight and cold carcass weight (p<0.05). We discovered 19 polymorphic SNPs in the CCDC158 gene on the QTL region of BTA 6 in Hanwoo and identified that the g.8778G>A SNP was significantly associated with body weight and cold carcass weight (p<0.05), which causes an amino acid variation from valine to methionine. Furthermore, statistical analysis demonstrated that the CCDC158 gene is strongly associated with body weight and cold carcass weight in Hanwoo. In this regard, the g.8778G>A SNP in the CCDC158 gene can be useful as a positional candidate for body weight and cold carcass weight for marker-assisted selection in Hanwoo.

Growth rate is one of the economically important quantitative traits that affect carcass quantity in beef cattle. Two genes, bovine insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and myogenic factor 5 (MYF5), were chosen as candidate genes for growth traits due to their important role in growth and development of mammals. The objectives of this study were to determine gene-specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers of the IGF-I and MYF5 positional candidate genes and to investigate their associations with growth traits in Korean cattle. Genotyping of the SNP markers in these candidate genes was carried out using the single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. The frequencies of A and B alleles were 0.72 and 0.28 for IGF-I gene and 0.39 and 0.61 for MYF5 gene, respectively, in Korean cattle population examined. The gene-specific SNP marker association analysis indicated that the SNP genotype in IGF-I gene showed a significant association (p<0.05) with weight at 3 months (W3), and cows with AB genotype had higher W3 than BB genotype cows. The SNP genotype of MYF5 gene was found to have a significant effect (p<0.05) on the weight at 12 months (W12) and average daily gain (ADG), and cows with BB and AB genotypes had higher W12 and ADG compared with cows with AA genotype, respectively. However, no significant association between the SNP genotypes and any other growth traits was detected. The gene-specific SNP markers in the IGF-I and MYF5 candidate genes may be useful for selection on growth traits in Korean cattle.

Artemisinin resistance (ART) has been confirmed in Greater Mekong Sub-region countries. Currently, C580Y mutation on Pfkelch13 gene is known as the molecular marker for the detection of ART. Rapid and accurate detection of ART in field study is essential to guide malaria containment and elimination interventions. A simple method for collection of malaria-infected blood is to spot the blood on filter paper and is fast and easy for transportation and storage in the field study. This study aims to evaluate LAMP-SNP assay for C580Y mutation detection by introducing an extra mismatched nucleotide at the 3' end of the FIP primer. The LAMP-SNP assay was performed in a water bath held at a temperature of 56℃ for 45 min. LAMP-SNP products were interpreted by both gel-electrophoresis and HNB-visualized changes in color. The method was then tested with 120 P. falciparum DNA from dried blood spot samples. In comparing the LAMP-SNP assay results with those from DNA sequencing of the clinical samples, the 2 results fully agreed to detect C580Y. The sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP-SNP assay showed 100%. There were no cross-reactions with other Plasmodium species and other Pfkelch13 mutations. The LAMP-SNP assay performed in this study was rapid, reliable, and useful in detecting artemisinin resistance in the field study.

포유동물의 혈장 지단백의 일종인 apolipoprotein E (APOE)는 인지질 및 트리글리세라이드와 같은 지질과 콜레스테롤의 대사와 운반에 중요한 기능을 담당한다. 본 연구는 지질대사조절 관련 후보유전자로서 APOE 유전자를 대상으로 한우에서 이 유전자의 SNP를 탐색 발굴하고 SNP 유전자형이 육량 및 육질 등 도체형질에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 수행하였다. 먼저 혈연관계가 없는 한우 60두의 pooled DNA를 제작하여 APOE 유전자의 exon 4 영역을 포함하는 primer를 설계하여 PCR로 증폭한 결과 exon 4 영역내 2034번째 T>C 염기치환에 의한 SNP를 검출하였다. 후대검정우 총 309두에 대한 검정 개체별 SNP 유전자형을 판정하기 위하여 Acc I 제한효소를 이용하여 PCR-RFLP기법으로 분석한 결과 SNP 유전자형 출현빈도는 TT형 10.9%, TC형 46.9% 및 CC형 42.2%로 나타났으며, T와 C 대립유전자빈도는 각각 0.344와 0.656으로 추정되었다. 또한 APOE 유전자의 SNP 유전자형과 육량 및 육질 등 도체형질과의 연관성을 통계 분석한 결과 도체율 및 육색형질과의 유의적 연관성이 입증되었다. 즉, TT형을 가진 개체들이 CC형을 가진 개체들에 비해 도체율 값이 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 또한 육색에서도 TT형을 가진 개체들이 CC형을 가진 개체들에 비해 좀 더 바람직한 육색을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 검출한 한우 APOE 유전자의 SNP 유전자형은 한우의 육량지수 평가 및 도체율이 높은 개체선발을 위한 DNA marker로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

14개의 microsatellite (MS) marker를 사용 할 경우 무작위 교배 집단(PI) 가정 하에 $3.43{\times}10^{-27}$의 판별율을 보여 60 개의 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker에 비해 약 1,000배의 높은 판별 효과를 나타내는 것으로 파악되었다. 그러나, 60개의 SNP marker의 경우 반형매 교배 집단($PI_{half-sibs}$)으로 가정할 경우 $4.69{\times}10^{-20}$과 전형매 교배 집단($PI_{sibs}$)으로 가정 할 경우 $8.02{\times}10^{-12}$으로 14개의 MS marker에 비해 약 10배와 10,000배의 높은 판별 효과를 나타내는 것으로 추정되었다. 이러한 결과는 무작위 교배집단에서는 사용된 marker의 전체 대립유전자수(MS : SNP = 146 : 120)에 의하여 판별효율이 결정되는 반면, 혈연관계가 높은 반형매와 전형매 집단에서는 비슷한 총 대립유전자수일 경우 marker의 수(MS : SNP = 14 : 60)가 많은 경우가 더 높은 판별율을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 한육우의 경우 소수의 보증 종모우를 이용해 인공수정을 통해 형성 된 거대한 반형매 집단으로 가정하였을 경우 MS와 SNP marker의 판별율은 10배 정도의 차이로 큰 차이를 보이지 않을 것으로 예견되나, likelihood rato를 이용 하는 inclusion 방법에 의하여 부모를 동시에 찾을 확률은 MS marker가 1,000 배 정도 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. SNP marker의 장점인 변이의 안정성, 유전자형 분석의 자동화 및 대용량화 등을 한육우의 동일성 검사에 활용하기 위해서는 분석비용 절감 방안과 분석방법 및 장비의 국산화 등 실용 및 상용화적 측면에서의 연구개발이 필요하다고 사료된다.

It is commonly believed that diseases of human or economic traits of livestock are caused not by single genes acting alone, but multiple genes interacting with one another. This issue is difficult due to the limitations of parametric-statistic methods of gene effects. So we introduce multifactor-dimensionality reduction(MDR) as a methods for reducing the dimensionality of multilocus information. The MDR method is nonparametric (i. e., no hypothesis about the value of a statistical parameter is made), model free (i. e., it assumes no particular inheritance model) and is directly applicable to case-control studies. Application of the MDR method revealed the best model with an interaction effect between the SNPs, SNP1 and SNP3, while only one main effect of SNP1 was statistically significant for LMA (p < 0.01) under a general linear mixed model.

인간(human)에게 나타나는 다양성(variation)은 인체의 유전체(genome) 안에서 발생된 SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)에 의해 나타난다고 알려져 있다. 유전체내의 SNP과 다양성에 대한 연관 연구(Associate study)를 할 때에 약 30여 억 개로 추정되는 염기서열(DNA sequence)물 모두 분석한다면 많은 비용과 시간을 필요로 할 것이다. 이런 비용과 시간을 줄이기 위친 적은 수의 대표 SNP(=tagSNP)을 찾는 연구가 현재 진행 중이다. 우리는 LD계수｜D;｜을 block 분할에 이용하여 생물학적인 의미를 부여한 후, 전산적인 최적해를 찾는 접근을 이용했다. 또한, 기존 연구에서는 large-scale data에 대한 처리가 불가능해서 chromosome의 일부분의 데이터에 대해서안 분석이 시도되었다. 더욱 광범위한 분석을 위해서 chromosome 단위의 처리가 필요하다. 우리는 chromosome단위의 SNP data를 한 번에 처리가 가능한 시스템인 MarSel를 구현하였다

The role of 3' exonuclease excision in DNA polymerization was evaluated for primer extension using inert allele specific primers with exonuclease-digestible ddNMP at their 3' termini. Efficient primer extension was observed in amplicons where the inert allele specific primers and their corresponding templates were mismatched. However, no primer-extended products were yielded by matched amplicons with inert primers. As a control, polymerase without proofreading activity failed to yield primer extended products from inert primers regardless of whether the primers and templates were matched or mismatched. These data indicated that activation was undertaken for the inert allele specific primers through mismatch proofreading. Complementary to our previously developed SNP-operated on/off switch, in which DNA polymerization only occurs in matched amplicon, this new mutation detection assay mediated by $exo^+$ DNA polymerases has immediate applications in SNP analysis independently or in combination of the two assays.
