A functional variant at miRNA-122 binding site in IL-1a 3' UTR predicts risk of recurrence in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
(Oncotarget, 2016-06)
IL-1a, an important regulator of immune and inflammation responses, has been implicated
in cancer development and prognosis. An insertion (Ins)/deletion (Del) polymorphism
(IL-1a rs3783553) in the 3' UTR of IL-1a may disrupt ...
Pulmonary blastomycosis presenting as primary lung cancer.
(BMC infectious diseases, 2018-07-18)
BACKGROUND:Blastomycosis is an endemic mycosis in North America that is caused by
the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. The illness is a systemic disease with
a wide variety of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary ...
A TGF-β1 genetic variant at the miRNA187 binding site significantly modifies risk of HPV16-associated oropharyngeal cancer.
(International journal of cancer, 2018-09)
TGF-β1rs1982073 polymorphism at the miRNA-187 binding site may alter TGF-β1 expression
and function, and thereby this polymorphism (genotype CT/CC) increases cancer susceptibility.
HPV16 L1 seropositivity is associated with ...
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 ...
PSCA polymorphisms and gastric cancer susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-02)
The prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) gene, which encodes a prostate-specific antigen
(PSA), was identified as a gene involved in cell adhesion and proliferation. The associations
between the PSCA rs2294008 and rs2976392 ...
ERCC1 and ERCC2 variants predict survival in gastric cancer patients.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
PURPOSE: ERCC1 and ERCC2 play critical roles in the nucleotide excision repair pathway
that effectively repairs DNA damage induced by chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore,
functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ...
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 ...
Pre-miRNA variants as predictors of clinical outcome in patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the nonoropharynx.
(Oncotarget, 2016-05)
Functional polymorphisms of miRNAs may affect the function and target expression of
miRNAs, which can, in turn, affect the biological activity, etiology, and prognosis
of cancer. We hypothesized that four common polymorphisms ...
Associations of genotypes and haplotypes of IL-17 with risk of gastric cancer in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-12)
Interleukin-17 plays a crucial role in inflammation-related carcinogenesis. We hypothesize
that genetic variants in IL-17 are associated with gastric cancer (GCa) risk, and
we genotyped five potentially functional single ...
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 ...
