1. How diseases became “genetic”
Resumo O presente artigo tem o objetivo de examinar as origens do termo “doença genética. No final do século XIX e início do XX, a vaga ideia que a doença manifesta entre familiares refletia uma “predisposição” familiar, foi substituída pela visão que essas doenças possuem causas específicas, enquanto a genética mendeliana forneceu as pista

2. Risk perception for cancer and preventive behaviors in a sample of clients attending an outpatient cancer genetic counseling clinic / Percepção de risco para câncer e comportamentos preventivos em uma amostra de usuários de um ambulatório de aconselhamento genético oncológico
This study researched the perception of risk for developing cancer and preventive behaviors of individuals with suspect of hereditary cancer syndromes. It aimed to describe the perception of risk and causes of the main neoplasms related to hereditary cancer syndromes in a sample of users of a genetic counseling service for cancer; to associate behaviors adop

3. Análise do gene AIP na acromegalia familial isolada / Analysis of the AIP gene in familial isolated acromegaly
Acromegaly is a rare disfigurating and insidious disease characterized by enlargement of hands, feet and skull bones due to excess of growth hormone (GH) secreted by a pituitary tumor (somatotropinoma). The majority of the cases with acromegaly is sporadic, however it may occur in association with inherited disorders as Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (M

4. TCF7L2 gene rs7903146 polymorphism role in the brazilian population e its application in type 2 diabetes risk prediction / Papel do polimorfismo rs7903146 do gene TCF7L2 na população brasileira e sua aplicação na predição de risco de diabetes tipo 2
Os polimorfismos do gene TCF7L2 têm sido fortemente associados com risco de desenvolvimento de diabetes mellitus em populações de diversas origens étnicas. No presente estudo, investigou-se se esta associação se confirma em diferentes populações brasileiras e qual seu efeito sobre o desempenho de um modelo de predição de risco de diabetes mellitus

5. Estudo do poliformismo genético na hepatite auto-imune na infância: busca de genes e haplótipos de suscetibilidade / Study of genetic polymorphism in children: searching for susceptibility genes and haplotypes
A hepatite auto-imune (HAI) é uma doença inflamatória crônica do fígado, de etiologia desconhecida, que acomete preferencialmente mulheres, com destruição progressiva do parênquima hepático e que, sem tratamento imunossupressor, evolui freqüentemente para cirrose. É uma doença rara na infância, com menos de 10% dos pacientes com doença hepátic

6. Herdabilidade dos fatores envolvidos na síndrome metabólica / The heritability of metabolic syndrome factors
Many studies have been conducted in different populations aiming at the identification of the proportion of total phenotypic variance that is attributable to genetic effects. The heritability of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) factors is expected to differ between populations because of the different distribution of environmental risk factors, as well as the genetic

7. A hipertensão arterial refrataria : caracterização fenotipica, avalliação cardiovascular morfo-funcional e correlação com polimorfismos geneticos de sistema renina-angiotensina e da sintase endotelial do oxido nitrico / Refractory hypertension : phenotypic characterization, cardiovascular morpho-functional assesssment and correlation with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterene and endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms
Refractory hypertension (HAR) is defined, according to the Seventh Joint National Committee (JNC VII), when the systolic arterial pressure remains above 140 mmHg and the diastolic arterial pressure above 90 mmHg even when taking three or more classes of anti-hypertensive agents including full-dose of a diuretic and the other agents at sub maximum doses with

8. Pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli, nitrogen fertilization and common bean yield. / Patogenicidade de Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli, adubação nitrogenada e produtividade de feijão.
Brazil is one of the biggest world growers and consumers of common bean, that is one of the main protein sources in the feeding habits of the significantly population plot. Even if present prominence in the world common bean production, the Brazilian yield is very low. In the spring-summer 2002 the yield was about 926 kg.ha-1, a value much lower than the cro

9. Parental Genotypes in the Risk of a Complex Disease
Our understanding of the genetic etiology of complex disorders is still elusive. According to the common-variant/common-disease hypothesis, frequent functional polymorphisms are the best candidates for disease-susceptibility alleles. Implicitly, we also assume that disease-susceptibility alleles are preferentially transmitted from parents to the affected off

10. Moderate- to low-risk variant alleles of cutaneous malignancies and nevi: lessons from genome-wide association studies
Cutaneous malignancies, especially malignant melanoma, exhibit great genetic heterogeneity. As a result, some individuals and families have particularly increased risk due to genetic predisposition to the disease. The susceptibility alleles range from rarely occurring, heritable, high-risk variants to ubiquitously occurring low-risk variants. Although until

11. The genetics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant cause of global morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have shown that COPD aggregates in families, suggesting a genetic predisposition to airflow obstruction. Many candidate genes have been assessed, but the data are often conflicting. We review the genetic factors that predispose smokers to C

12. Genetic aspects of Sjögren's syndrome
Sjögren's syndrome is a multisystem inflammatory rheumatic disease that is classified into primary and secondary forms, with cardinal features in the eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) and mouth (xerostomia). The aetiology behind this autoimmune exocrinopathy is probably multifactorial and influenced by genetic as well as by environmental factors that are as
