TL;DR: The frequencies of the CYP2C19 alleles, genotypes and corresponding extensive, intermediate and poor metabolizer phenotypes studied here in the Hungarian population are similar to those of other European Caucasian populations, but display clear differences when compared to the Roma population.

TL;DR: It is shown that the susceptibility nature of this SNP is restricted to the APOA5*2 haplotype in pediatric obese subjects, and suggested that the APoa5*5 haplotype (1259C alone) can be protective against obesity.

TL;DR: The results show that Northwest India could play an important role in the South Asian ancestry of Roma, however, the origin of Romani people might include the area of Pakistan as well.

TL;DR: It is observed that while a specific haplotype can confer risk for rheumatoid arthritis, the same haplotype tended to protect against the development of the other two diseases, including Crohn’s disease and ankylosing spondylitis.

TL;DR: F fecal samples and cloacal swabs collected from wild-living birds during 2008 in Hungary were tested for the presence of group A rotaviruses by a VP6 gene-specific reverse-transcription–polymerase-chain-reaction assay, indicating that rotavirus infections occur in a wide spectrum of feral bird species.
