Obesity is a chronic inflammatory disease defined by an excessive accumulation of body fat. The human gut microbiota (GM) intricate ecosystem microorganisms living symbiotically within the gastrointestinal tract and has emerged as key player in health metabolic diseases. Recently, several studies have increasingly revolved around understanding specific compositions strains GM their potential impact on obesity. This review provides summary most recent findings regarding obesity newly...

Abstract Background Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) is an autosomal dominant inherited susceptibility disorder. Both BRCA1 BRCA2 genes are considered as high penetrance of this syndrome. The identification BRCA1/2 genetic alterations before development, grant patients the chance to benefit from various medical prevention approaches. Therefore, appearance recent advanced technologies in molecular analysis such next generation sequencing has simplified full analysis. Many attempts...

Abstract Background To date, the contribution of BRCA1/2 mutations in Moroccan early onset breast cancer patients remains unknown. Here we assess these genetic alterations for first time a cohort from North Morocco. Methods Thirty-three diagnosed with at age ≤40 years were recruited irrespective and/or ovarian family history. Coding regions and intron-exon boundaries BRCA1 BRCA2 genes sequenced peripheral blood DNA using Ion Proton (Thermo Fisher Scientific) next generation sequencing...
