Genetic variants in fanconi anemia pathway genes BRCA2 and FANCA predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2015-02)
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal skin cancer. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway
involved in DNA crosslink repair may affect CM susceptibility and prognosis. Using
data derived from published genome-wide association ...
Genetic variants of NOXA and MCL1 modify the risk of HPV16-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(BMC cancer, 2012-05)
The cooperation between phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induced protein 1 (NOXA) and
myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) is critical in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Human
papillomavirus 16 (HPV16), by inducing p53 and pRb-E2F ...
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of stemness genes predicted to regulate RNA splicing, microRNA and oncogenic signaling are associated with prostate cancer survival.
(Carcinogenesis, 2018-07)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous disease, with
variation in outcomes only partially predicted by grade and stage. Additional tools
to distinguish indolent from aggressive disease are needed. ...
Genetic variants in the metzincin metallopeptidase family genes predict melanoma survival.
(Molecular carcinogenesis, 2018-01)
Metzincins are key molecules in the degradation of the extracellular matrix and play
an important role in cellular processes such as cell migration, adhesion, and cell
fusion of malignant tumors, including cutaneous melanoma ...
Genome-wide association study of acute kidney injury after coronary bypass graft surgery identifies susceptibility loci.
(Kidney Int, 2015-10)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, serious complication of cardiac surgery. Since
prior studies have supported a genetic basis for postoperative AKI, we conducted a
genome-wide association study (GWAS) for AKI following ...
Genetic Variants of the MDM2 Gene Are Predictive of Treatment-Related Toxicities and Overall Survival in Patients With Advanced NSCLC.
(Clin Lung Cancer, 2015-09)
INTRODUCTION: Platinum agents can cause the formation of DNA adducts and induce apoptosis
to eliminate tumor cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence
of genetic variants of MDM2 on chemotherapy-related ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of cardiovascular disease biomarkers in a large, multigenerational family.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Given the importance of cardiovascular disease (CVD) to public health and the demonstrated
heritability of both disease status and its related risk factors, identifying the
genetic variation underlying these susceptibilities ...
Association of Common Genetic Polymorphisms with Melanoma Patient IL-12p40 Blood Levels, Risk, and Outcomes.
(J Invest Dermatol, 2015-09)
Recent investigation has identified association of IL-12p40 blood levels with melanoma
recurrence and patient survival. No studies have investigated associations of single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) with melanoma patient ...
Novel Genetic Variants for Cartilage Thickness and Hip Osteoarthritis.
(PLoS Genet, 2016-10)
Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent and disabling diseases of the elderly.
Only few genetic variants have been identified for osteoarthritis, which is partly
due to large phenotype heterogeneity. To reduce heterogeneity, ...
Polymorphisms in Fibronectin Binding Proteins A and B among Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Isolates Are Not Associated with Arthroplasty Infection.
(PLoS One, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in fibronectin binding
protein A (fnbA) of Staphylococcus aureus are associated with cardiac device infections.
However, the role of fnbA SNPs in S. aureus ...
