Awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder Among Population of Kazakhstan
CONCLUSION: Low awareness on ASD symptoms and treatment methods was identified in both areas. There is a need to develop activities to increase the public awareness on ASD, including knowledge on early symptoms of ASD and facilities that address the needs of people on the ASD and their families.PMID:38656465 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06350-1 (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)

A PAX3 insertion in the Celestial breed and certain feline breeding lines with dominant blue eyes
Anim Genet. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1111/age.13433. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring the last 60 years many inherited traits in domestic outbred cats were selected and retained giving birth to new breeds characterised by singular coat or morphological phenotypes. Among them, minimal white spotting associated with blue eyes was selected by feline breeders to create the Altai, Topaz, and Celestial breeds. Various established breeds also introduced this trait in their lineages. The trait, that was confirmed as autosomal dominant by breeding data, was first described in domestic cats from Kazakhstan and Russia, in British sho...

Interrelation of EDXRF and comparator INAA to analyze REE mineral resources
AbstractJoint application of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF) and instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was considered to determine the contents of sixteen rare earths elements (REE) in the corresponding mineral resources. K series of the majority of REEs was excited by the bremsstrahlung of the X-ray tube operating at accelerating voltage 70 kV, the modified version of a portable X-ray spectrometer is equipped with. A range of ore samples collected from three REE deposits of the Republic of Kazakhstan essentially differing in their elemental composition was investigated. A way of EDXRF and...

The impact of incentive scheme on rural healthcare workforce availability: a case study of Kazakhstan
During the 1990 –2000, Kazakhstan experienced a decline in the number of healthcare professionals working in rural areas. Since 2009, the national government has been implementing financial incentives to encour... (Source: Human Resources for Health)

A severe case of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in a traveler returning from Kazakhstan, a malaria-free country
Malaria is a major life-threatening vector-borne disease caused by the genus Plasmodium. It is common in the tropics and subtropics, especially in Africa, where considerable efforts are made to reduce its incidence, and to eliminate it from endemic countries as well as preventing its re-emergence in countries that have been declared malaria-free. To date 104 countries, including Kazakhstan, have reached the status of being malaria-free [1]. Nonetheless, in 2022, 84 malaria endemic countries had an estimated 249 million malaria cases, a 5 million increase compared to 2021 [2], and still posing a major burden on human health...

Whole-genome resequencing uncovers diversity and selective sweep in Kazakh cattle
Anim Genet. 2024 Apr 1. doi: 10.1111/age.13425. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Kazakh cattle in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China are highly adaptable and have multiple uses, including milk and meat production, and use as draft animals. They are an excellent original breed that could be enhanced by breeding and hybrid improvement. However, the genomic diversity and signature of selection underlying the germplasm characteristics require further elucidation. Herein, we evaluated 26 Kazakh cattle genomes in comparison with 103 genomes of seven other cattle breeds from regions around the world to assess the Kaza...

Whole-genome resequencing of Chinese indigenous sheep provides insight into the genetic basis underlying climate adaptation
CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of the signatures of selection uncovered genes that are likely related to environmental adaptation and a SNP missense mutation in the TSHR gene that affects the protein structure and stability. It also provides information on the evolution of the phylogeographic structure of Chinese indigenous sheep populations. These results provide important genetic resources for future breeding studies and new perspectives on how animals can adapt to climate change.PMID:38565986 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-024-00880-z (Source: Genet Sel Evol)
