Genetic variation at the CYP2C19 gene associated with metabolic syndrome suscep...

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Since pathways implicated in different diseases reveal surprising insights into shared genetic bases underlying apparently unrelated traits, we hypothesize that there are common genetic components involved in the clustering of MetS traits. With the aim of identifying t...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of conditions — increased blood pressure, high blood glucose level, excess body fat around the waist and abnormal cholesterol levels — that occur together, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. In Portugal, the MetS prevalence is estimated to be 27,5% with regional variations, being highest in the Alentejo (30,99%) and lowest in the Algarve (24,42%), c...

Severe acute respiratory infections in the 2012/2013 season studied by the Port...

During the 2009/10 influenza pandemic, a network of 14 laboratories located in the main reference hospitals from Portugal mainland, Madeira and Azores was established for the diagnosis of the new influenza A(H1N1)2009 pandemic strain. Since then, the network performs laboratory diagnosis of influenza as well as other respiratory pathogens, thus contributing to the laboratory diagnosis of respiratory disease in ...

Prevalence of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and hereditary hemochromatosis gen...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) are two of the most fatal genetic disorders in adult life, affecting million individuals worldwide. They are often under-diagnosed conditions and diagnosis is only made when the patient is already in the advanced stages of damage. AAT deficiency results from mutations in one highly pleiomorphic gene located on chromosome 14, SERPINA 1, bei...

Abstrat disponível em: http://www.ichg2011.org/cgi-bin/showdetail.pl?absno=11013 ; The objective of the National Health Examination Survey (NHES), which corresponds to the Portuguese component of the European Health Examination Survey (EHES), is to collect health data, related risk factors and biological samples of the Portuguese population, using the EHES recommended methodology. These surveys involve an inte...
