The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the SHBG gene variations (D356N, rs1799941, and P156L) on SHBG and HDL-C levels and Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) risk. The SHBG D356N (rs6259,G>A), P156L (rs6258,C>T), and rs1799941(G>A) polymorphisms were determined in 131 male CHD patients and 55 male controls by PCR-RFLP and real-time PCR techniques. SHGB levels were measured by Electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). In the patients who had SHBG levels lower than threshold 35nmol/l value, the risk of being HDL-C levels lower than threshold 0.90mmol/l value was observed statistically significant (p=0.017; OR 2.522, 95% CI 1.170-5.438). The rs1799941 GG was associated with increased CHD risk when compared with the A allele carriers (GA+AA) (p=0.019, OR 2.222, 95% CI 1.130-4.371). In addition, the rs1799941 GG genotype and D356NN allele were associated with lower SHBG in the CHD group (p<0.01). The logistic regression analysis also revealed the rs1799941 GG genotype was significantly associated with low SHBG in CHD patients. It was observed that Haplotype-1(rs1799941 G allele-P156L P allele-D356N D allele) was associated with increased CHD risk, while Haplotype-2 (rs1799941 rare A allele-P156L C allele- D356N G allele) was correlated with the decreased CHD risk (p=0.0167). Our findings suggest that there is a positive correlation between SHBG and HDL-C levels in CHD patients, and this association might be affected by SHBG gene variations.Research Fund of Istanbul UniversityIstanbul University [12104]The present work was supported by the Research Fund of Istanbul University.

Comparing the Effectiveness of SPSS and EduG using Different Designs for Generalizability Theory
No full textGeneralizability theory (G theory) provides a broad conceptual framework for social sciences such as psychology and education, and a comprehensive construct for numerous measurement events by using analysis of variance, a strong statistical method. G theory, as an extension of both classical test theory and analysis of variance, is a model which can deal with multiple sources of error. In conducting the analysis of the G theory, there are several software programs that can be used such as GENOVA, SPSS, SAS, EduG, and G-String. In this study, the general perspectives of G theory are first explained broadly. Then, the SPSS and EduG software programs are used to conduct generalizability analyses on the data obtained from the answers of 30 students (p) to nine open-ended questions (i) as rated by three raters (r). There are three different designs in the study. Two of them are random effects designs, pxixr and pxi:r, and the last one is pxixr design using a fixed rater. According to the findings from the study, SPSS and EduG give the same results for variance component estimates as well as for G (Generalizability) and D (Decision) studies of all designs, as expected. Besides comparing the program outputs, their weaknesses and strengths were also discussed regarding different designs and data sets in this study
