TL;DR: The findings suggest that there is an association of IL-4 gene intron 3 VNTR polymorphism with susceptibility of a person for development of knee OA, which could be a genetic marker in OA in a Turkish study population.

Investigation of associations between obesity and LEP G2548A and LEPR 668A/G polymorphisms in a Turkish population.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the LEP G2548A polymorphism is not a relevant obesity marker and that the LEPR 668A/G polymorphism may be related to obesity in a Turkish population.

Association between fibromyalgia syndrome and polymorphism of the IL-4 gene in a Turkish population
TL;DR: There is an association of IL-4 gene 70 bp VNTR polymorphism with susceptibility of a person for development of FM, and further studies are necessary to determine whetherIL-4 may be a genetic marker for FM in the Turkish population.

The combined QF-PCR and cytogenetic approach in prenatal diagnosis.
TL;DR: QF-PCR aneuploidy test is the fastest diagnostic test for prenatal diagnosis and so it provides less stressful period for pregnant women and it has a limitation of not to able to scan full genome.

Sister chromatid exchanges in breast cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy.
TL;DR: If patients are exposed to any cytostatic and clastogenic drugs, the increase in the exchange values was considered remarkable and reinforced the availability of sister chromatid exchange technique in directing of treatment and monitoring the genetic abnormalities caused by genomic instability which may occur due to the drugs used for treatment.
