The following genetic polymorphisms were studied: three point mutations in the promoter region at position −550 (H/L variants), −221 (X/Y variants), −70 (nt C or T), one point mutation in the 5′ untranslated (UT) region at position +4 (P/Q variants) and three point mutations located at codons 52, 54 and 57 in exon 1 of the MBL gene, at nucleotide positions 223, 230 and 239, respectively.
Morphological examination of museum specimens by Marchant and Higgins (1993) [2], suggests the existence of as many as seven polytypic variants and three subspecies of C. ypsilophora.
In their original report on the C2/CFB locus in ARM, Gold et al. [60] did not include LOC387715 variants and, using a genetic algorithm search approach, they arrived at a genetic risk model of two CFH variants and three C2/CFB variants.
Seven probands (FMS45, 127, 254, 316, 495, 501, 549) had one heterozygous rare mutation; five probands (FMS52, 248, 321, 411, 435) had two rare variants; and three probands and one affected sibling had three or more rare variants (FMS51, 53, 512, 540).
We identified 13 previously reported mtDNA mutations, 13 unreported variants, and three novel deletions (Fig. 1).
Of the 83 BRCA-negative patients, we identified four exonic variants and three intronic variants in TP53.
MRSA has many variants, and one of the more benign forms now is widespread in hog barns and among people who deal with hogs.
The experimental results are compared with other six PSO variants and four genetic algorithms.
The simulation results confirmed that BTPLPSO significantly outperforms eight well-established PSO variants and six cutting-edge metaheuristic search algorithms.
Consequently, one 7M variant (plate) evolves into one NM plate consisting of two twin-related fine variants, and four differently oriented 7M variants in one variant group result in a total of eight NM variants.
Twenty-seven new variants of unknown significance, 21 disease-causing variants, and two CNVs were detected among the 176 patient samples analyzed in diagnosis routine.
