برصغیر کی نادر فارسی تفسیر تبجیل التنزیل (جزء سورۃ الفاتحہ) کا تحقیقی مطالعہ

The intellectual heritage in British–India includes literature of Christian missionaries which focusses missionary perspective and the literature of Muslim missionary in response. In this Case, literature based on polemic method from both sides has become quite important. Specialists of Muslim Christian relations and religious students should be aware of debates of this ere. The criticism on Quran seems quite abundance on social media from opponents and enemies as well as their efforts are quite evident on minds of habitual valiance to precariousness and skepticism. That’s why, the preacher and student of Islamic religion should bring in light the effort being made by Muslim scholars in response to their claims. One of selected flowers in the caravan of Muslim scholars is Abu Mansoor Dehlvi (1902 AD). Tabjil al Tanzil is one of the prominent Quranic Interpretation which focuses on the replies to objections raised against Islam and Quran by Christians in Sub continent. In this paper, author tried to find out this un-published interpretation (as it is supposed) and analyzed its first part containing on surah al fatiha (manuscript). In the result, he finds that polemic method is prevailed. And objections against Islam has been silently condemned.

Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Human Hereditary Disorders of Ectodermal Appendages

To function and respond effectively to the dynamic external environment, skin, the most exposed part of the human body and its appendages possess a significant ability to regenerate in a sensibly controlled fashion. When this finely tuned homeostatic system is disrupted, skin diseases such as genodermatoses may arise, which represents a complex group of acquired and congenital ectodermal disorders, personifying an investigative challenge due to highly variable and overlapping clinical phenotypes, non-specific representation, genetic heterogeneity and lack of recognition as a discrete clinical entity. In the present research, eighteen consanguineous families (A-R) segregating diverse forms of hereditary ectodermal disorders were investigated at clinical and molecular level. Subsequently extracted DNA from given blood was processed for genetic trialing using microsatellite markers, SNP microarray, whole exome and Sanger’s sequencing. The study led to the identification of two novel genes, first report of involvement of U2HR in causing complete hairloss, and few novels and previously reported mutations in genes causing skin disorders. Clinical topographies, witnessed in affected members of seven families (A-G), were analogous to isolated hereditary hypotrichosis. Linkage in two of these families was established to chromosome 3q26.33-q27.3 residing LIPH gene. Subsequently sequencing revealed two novel mutations (p.Arg110*, p.Pro311Leufs*3) in the LIPH gene. In another family, a novel compound heterozygous variant (p.Ser1589Tyr/p.Ala1092Glu) was identified in a potentially novel gene EXPH5. Search for linkage and disease causing variants in rest of the four families was not successful. Linkage in three families (H, I, J), segregating atrichia with papular lesion (APL), was established to hairless gene HR on chromosome 8q21.3. Sequence analysis of the HR gene revealed a novel non-sense variant (p.Trp847*) in family H. In two other families genetic sequence exploration identified a novel homozygous missense variant (p.Arg20Leu) in one of the upstream regulatory regions, U2HR, of the HR gene. In silico analysis of mutated and normal modelled U2HR proteins exposed abnormal regulation of HR translation leading to APL. Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Human Hereditary Disorders of Ectodermal Appendages xi Three consanguineous families (K, L, M), presenting different types of nail dysplasias, were investigated in the present study. Haplotype analysis followed by sequence analysis identified a novel variant (p.Gln89*) in the HOXC13 and prior stated (p.Ala88Val) in the GJB6 gene. In the third family, segregating Koilonychia, whole exome sequencing failed to detect disease causing variant. A combination of SNP genotyping, exome and Sanger sequencing was used to genetically characterize ichthyosis and Kindler syndrome in five families. In family N, segregating X-linked ichthyosis, a deleted region (1.67 Mb) including STS gene on chromosome Xp22.3 was found a responsible factor. Genetic mapping followed by exome and Sanger sequencing identified a novel (p.F9Lfs*23) and a recurrent splice site variant (c.1718+2A>G) in the FERMT1 gene on chromosome 20p13 in two families segregating Kindler Syndrome. In family Q with ichthyosis, a single potential homozygous region (212-216 Mb) was mapped through SNP microarray on chromosome 2 in all the affected individuals. Further analysis lead to the identification of a rare splice site variant (c.938-7T>C) in potentially novel gene XRCC5. In the fifth family with ichthyosis and hair loss, a disease causing variant (p.Asp63Val) was detected in the LPAR6 gene. An extensive study on diverse cases of genodermatoses has been performed, which provided a comprehensive understanding about related diseases, their molecular pathways and probability of identifying novel molecular players responsible for causing several dermatological diseases. This provided an insight information for formulating the missing links between previously known pathological reasons/ pathways. This will support to design procedures for gene therapies for disorders involving human skin.
