Objectives: The aim of the current study was to determine the contribution of interleukin (IL)1
gene cluster polymorphisms previously implicated in susceptibility for ankylosing spondylitis …

The A/H1N1 influenza strain isolated in Mexico in 2009 caused severe pulmonary illness in
a small number of exposed individuals. Our objective was to determine the influence of …

… Regarding ACE I/D polymorphisms, the frequencies observed in our study were similar to
those reported in the Mexican Mestizo population by Vargas-Alarcón et al. They indicated that …

The applications of serology tests to the virus SARS-CoV-2 are diverse, ranging from
diagnosing COVID-19, understanding the humoral response to this disease, and estimating its …

The human leukocyte antigen DRB1 locus (HLA-DRB1) was typed in genomic DNA extracted
from whole blood samples of 34 Mexican dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients and …

Background A consistent line of investigation suggests that autonomic nervous system
dysfunction may explain the multi-system features of fibromyalgia (FM); and that FM is a …

… Vargas-Alarcón and colleagues [21] analyzed the HLA allele distribution in 69 populations
around the world, including Mexicans and Spaniards. Genetic distances with corresponding …

Background ABCA1 genetic variation is known to play a role in HDL-C levels and various
studies have also implicated ABCA1 variation in cardiovascular risk. The functional ABCA1/…

We studied HLA class I and class II alleles in 191 Mexican families (381 non-related individuals)
to directly obtain the HLA-A/B/DRB1/DQB1 haplotypes and their linkage disequilibrium (…

Objective: To investigate the role of HSP70 genes as contributors to genetic susceptibility of
the spondyloarthropathies (SpA) in the Mexican population. Methods: The study included …
