The reference range of the ELF score overlap with the area defined as moderate fibrosis by the manufacturer. High biological variation of HA was diminished by the natural logarithm in the calculation of the ELF score. The use of the ELF score has suitable analytical and acceptable biological performance characteristics for clinical practice. Howeve...

We suggest that rs5471 is a strong genetic determinant of HP levels in Ghanaians, and this seems to be characteristic of Africans. Further investigation using large scale samples will help in understanding the genetic background of individual variability of the serum HP level.

Sex should be considered a confounding variable in association studies on the variants PON1-Q192R and PON2-A148G in T2D. Patients sharing the 55 M allele were prone to having good glycemic control. Our findings provide genetic evidence that the PON1-L55M variant may be a factor contributing to glycemic control.

This report is the first to comprehensively identify the antigens incorporated into ICs in CSF. There was limited overlap between the antigens we identified and the CSF proteome or the plasma proteome; therefore, our method can be distinguished from the conventional CSF proteome analysis. Although the sensitivity of disease-specific IC-antigens det...

Mitochondrial DNA is readily detectable in the urinary supernatant of non-diabetic CKD, and its level correlates with the rate of renal function decline and predicts the risk of doubling of serum creatinine or need of dialysis. Further studies are needed to determine the value of urinary supernatant mtDNA level as a prognostic indicator of non-diab...

Our meta-analysis shows no association between carbohydrate intake and prostate cancer risk. Nor is association detected about carbohydrate intake with advanced or non-advanced Pca risk. More studies are needed for a further dose-response meta-analysis.

The measurement of vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP) by immunoassay has been confounded by variable antibody recognition of the Gc1s, Gc1F and Gc2 phenotypes. This has led to spurious conclusions regarding vitamin D status in different ethnic groups. In order to overcome these problems there is a requirement for VDBP antibodies that are unaffected b...

High expression of ZEB1-AS1 was associated with advanced clinicopathological characteristics, and ZEB1-AS1overexpression may be a potential prognostic biomarker in human cancer. However, more studies involving various tumor types and large sample size are needed.
