INFLUENCE OF GENETIC COPY NUMBER VARIANTS OF THE HUMAN GLUT3 GLUCOSE TRANSPORTER GENE SLC2A3 ON PROTEIN EXPRESSION, GLYCOLYSIS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS RISK: A GENETIC REPLICATION STUDY

Influence of genetic copy number variants of the human GLUT3 glucose transporter gene SLC2A3 on protein expression, glycolysis and rheumatoid arthritis risk: A genetic replication study

Objectives: The gene encoding glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3, SLC2A3) is present in the human population at variable copy number.An overt disease phenotype of SLC2A3 copy number variants has not been reported; however, deletion of SLC2A3 has been previously reported to protect carriers from rheumatoid arthritis, implicating GLUT3 as a therapeutic tar

Comparative Effectiveness of Enhanced Patient Instructions for Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy: Network Meta-analysis of 23 Randomized Controlled Trials

BackgroundVarious enhanced patient instructions (EPIs) have been used for bowel preparation (BP) and our previous meta-analysis also demonstrated the efficacy of EPIs in increasing the colonic polyp and adenoma detection rates; however, the optimal method for adequate BP has not yet been developed.ObjectiveWe performed a network meta-analysis to de
