<b>Conclusions</b>: This study supports the hypothesis of a functional role for <i>COL4A3</i> (rs55703767, G/T), <i>MMP-9</i> (rs17576, A/G) and <i>TIMP-1</i> (rs6609533, A/G) SNPs in the pathogenesis of keratoconus.
Q555X-hSynI induced larger facilitation and post-tetanic potentiation in excitatory synapses and stronger depression after long trains in inhibitory synapses.

A candidate gene for TIMP-1 gene located on the X-chromosome (rs4898) was selected for a control case study to investigate a possible association of this SNP with the susceptibility to systemic sclerosis and its digit ulcer manifestation.
Among the four TIMP loci, the TIMP1T > C (rs4898), TIMP1G > A (rs6609533), TIMP2G > C (rs8179090), TIMP2G > A (rs2277698), TIMP3G > A (rs135029), and TIMP4T > C (rs3755724) haplotypes were identified more frequently in POI patients than in control subjects and conferred susceptibility to POI (P <0.0001).

Analyses with one polymorphism per test without interactions showed an association with the two TIMP1 gene polymorphisms (nt+434, P = .0047; rs2070584, P = .015) in male subjects without a family history of AAA.
Besides normal routine laboratory testing for HCV, patients' sera were evaluated also for retinol, retinol-binding protein 4 and the following SNPs: PNPLA3 (rs738409), TM6SF2 (rs58542926), MBOAT7 (rs641738), IL28B (rs12979860), TIMP-1 (rs4898), TIMP-2 (rs8179090), NF-kB promoter (rs28362491).
Detailed neuropsychological assessments revealed that SYN1 Q555X male mutation carriers showed specific language impairment and mild autistic spectrum disorder.
