Genetic variation of the HFE gene and associated proteomes in chronic venous leg ulceration

Sydes, Elizabeth R. (2019) Genetic variation of the HFE gene and associated proteomes in chronic venous leg ulceration. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project was conducted to determine whether the genetic variance of an iron regulatory gene was associated with the development or severity of chronic venous leg ulceration. In addition, the study examined the association of wound exudate protein composition with both the genetic variance of the target gene and wound healing outcomes. The evidence collected supported the hypothesis that wound healing may be affected by dysregulation of iron. By virtue of the discovery phase protein profiling methods used, a wound fluid protein reference library was created, against which future studies may be searched to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
