TL;DR: The identification of NAT2 variants in Brazilian individuals from two different regions, Rio de Janeiro and Goiás, by direct sequencing, and on the characterization of new haplotypes after cloning and re-sequencing, found six new SNPs and seven new NAT2 alleles with different frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The prevalence of MDE was high among individuals with prolonged respiratory symptoms, independent of PTB diagnosis, consistent with other studies of depression in primary care in Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
