RAD52 variants predict platinum resistance and prognosis of cervical cancer.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
RAD52 is an important but not well characterized homologous recombination repair gene
that can bind to single-stranded DNA ends and mediate the DNA-DNA interaction necessary
for the annealing of complementary DNA strands. ...
Detectable clonal mosaicism from birth to old age and its relationship to cancer.
(Nature genetics, 2012-05-06)
We detected clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions
and uniparental disomy) using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited
for genome-wide association studies. This detection ...
Polymorphisms in the ERCC5 gene and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Eastern Chinese populations.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Excision repair cross complementing group 5 (ERCC5 or XPG) plays an important
role in regulating DNA excision repair; its functional single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) may alter DNA repair capacity and thus ...
Genetic variation in MDM2 and p14ARF and susceptibility to salivary gland carcinoma.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
The p14(ARF)/MDM2/p53 pathway plays an important role in modulation of DNA damage
and oxidative stress responses. The aim of this study was to determine whether genetic
variants in MDM2 and p14(ARF) are associated with risk ...
Effect of polymorphisms in XPD on clinical outcomes of platinum-based chemotherapy for Chinese non-small cell lung cancer patients.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
PURPOSE: Xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) codes for a DNA helicase involved in
nucleotide excision repair that removes platinum-induced DNA damage. Genetic polymorphisms
of XPD may affect DNA repair capacity and lead ...
Functional polymorphisms of CHRNA3 predict risks of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer in Chinese.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
Recently, several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many susceptible
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
and lung cancer which are two closely related ...
Potentially functional variants of PLCE1 identified by GWASs contribute to gastric adenocarcinoma susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have found a single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP, rs2274223 A>G) in PLCE1 to be associated with risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.
In the present study, we validated ...
Tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 8 polymorphism and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a Chinese population: a case-control study.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been reported to be associated with autoimmune
and pro-inflammatory response, and genetic polymorphisms of candidate genes involved
in autoimmune and pro-inflammatory response ...
