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 ...
Correlation between base-excision repair gene polymorphisms and levels of in-vitro BPDE-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
In vitro benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE)-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral
lymphocytes have been shown to be a phenotypic biomarker of individual's DNA repair
phenotype that is associated with cancer risk. In ...
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 ...
Association of combined p73 and p53 genetic variants with tumor HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
p53 and p73 interact with human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 oncoproteins. The interplay
between p53 and p73 and HPV16 may lead to deregulation of cell cycle and apoptosis,
through which inflammation/immune responses control ...
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 ...
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 ...
Bevacizumab continuation beyond initial bevacizumab progression among recurrent glioblastoma patients.
(Br J Cancer, 2012-10-23)
BACKGROUND: Bevacizumab improves outcome for most recurrent glioblastoma patients,
but the duration of benefit is limited and survival after initial bevacizumab progression
is poor. We evaluated bevacizumab continuation ...
Evaluating the number of stages in development of squamous cell and adenocarcinomas across cancer sites using human population-based cancer modeling.
(PLoS One, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Adenocarcinomas (ACs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) differ by clinical
and molecular characteristics. We evaluated the characteristics of carcinogenesis
by modeling the age patterns of incidence rates of ...
Genome-wide gene-environment interaction analysis for asbestos exposure in lung cancer susceptibility.
(Carcinogenesis, 2012-08)
Asbestos exposure is a known risk factor for lung cancer. Although recent genome-wide
association studies (GWASs) have identified some novel loci for lung cancer risk,
few addressed genome-wide gene-environment interactions. ...
