ADIPOQ polymorphisms Sample Clauses

ADIPOQ polymorphisms. The ADIPOQ gene is very polymorphic; several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been detected. From the known polymorphisms in the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and in the literature, 53 SNPs of ADIPOQ have been identified (Xxxx et al, 2006). Some of these polymorphisms have been associated with the expression of adiponectin, suggesting their determination of circulating concentrations (Xxxx & Xxxxxx, 2006). Associations were found between +276 G- allele and lower adiponectin concentrations in the Spanish population, healthy Caucasians, nondiabetic Koreans and obese Japanese subjects (Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx et al, 2005; Xxxxxxxxx et al 2006; Xxxx et al, 2005; Xxxx et al, 2002). An association was also reported in healthy young Finnish subjects where the +276 T-allele was associated with elevated adiponectin concentrations (Mousavinasab et al, 2006). Woo et al. (2006) showed a significant association between SNP alleles -11391A, +267T and -10066G with higher adiponectin concentrations in White Americans. A similar association with -11391 A and +267 T-alleles was found in African Americans. They also showed that three SNP haplotypes +45, +276 and +349 T/T/A and T/G/G were significantly associated with higher adiponectin in White American, but not Africans. In the same study the strongest association with serum adiponectin was found with haplotypes from the promoter through to the second intron SNPs -11391 to +349 in White Americans and SNPs -11391 to + 45 in African Americans (Woo et al, 2006). In a more recent study, SNP association with adiponectin was tested in two independent populations of Caucasian females. In the Chingford cohort (n = 808), the common allele of -10066 G/A and the rare alleles of 11391 G/A, -7734 C/A, +276 G/T and +3228 C/T were significantly associated with higher adiponectin concentrations. In the Twins UK cohort (n = 2718), the same association was found with all SNPs except for +3228 C/T (Xxxxxxxx et al, 2008). In the CARDIA study, -10066 G/A, -11391 G/A and +276 G/T were strongly associated with serum adiponectin concentrations in White subjects, with dose – response relationship of mean adiponectin concentrations across genotypes. This study also reported that only -11391 G/A was significantly associated with serum adiponectin in African Americans (Xxxxxx et al, 2010) similar association was reported by (Xxxx et al 2006; Xxxxxxx et al, 2002).

  • Preceptor A per diem Registered Nurse 2 may serve as a preceptor after successfully completing a preceptor workshop or equivalent documented training and agreeing to and being appointed to be specifically responsible for planning, organizing, and evaluating the new skill development of one or more RNs as appropriate enrolled in a defined orientation program, the parameters of which have been set forth in writing by the Employer. This includes teaching, clinical supervision, role modeling, feedback, evaluation (verbal and written) and follow up of the new or transferring employee. The per diem RN 2 preceptor is eligible to receive preceptor premium pay when actually engaged in preceptor role responsibilities with/on behalf of the orienting RN. A per diem RN 2 substituting for the original preceptor during a period of absence and who has been designated to carry out the preceptor's complete responsibility (including following and/or adjusting the plan to meet learning needs and providing oral and written evaluation input) will receive preceptor pay. A preceptor may be assigned to a student when it is determined by the Employer that the employee has completed the required preceptor training or has agreed to and been appointed a preceptor. The employee is specifically responsible for planning, organizing, and evaluating the new skill development of the student as appropriately enrolled in a defined program, the parameters of which have been set forth in writing by the Employer. This includes teaching, clinical supervision, role modeling, feedback, evaluation (verbal and written) and follow up of the student.
