TNFRSF1B +676 T>G polymorphism predicts survival of non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2011-10-14)
The dysregulation of gene expression in the TNF-TNFR superfamily has been involved
in various human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Furthermore,
functional polymorphisms in TNF-α and TNFRSF1B genes ...
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 ...
Genotypes and haplotypes of the VEGF gene and survival in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2010-08-16)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major mediator of angiogenesis involving
in carcinogenesis, including lung cancer. We hypothesized that VEGF polymorphisms
may affect survival outcomes among locally advanced ...
Association between novel PLCE1 variants identified in published esophageal cancer genome-wide association studies and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(BMC cancer, 2011-06-20)
Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) (an effector of Ras) belonging to the phospholipase
family plays crucial roles in carcinogenesis and progression of several cancers, including
squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impact of gene variants on sex-specific regulation of human Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI) expression in liver and association with lipid levels in a population-based study.
(BMC Med Genet, 2010-01-19)
BACKGROUND: Several studies have noted that genetic variants of SCARB1, a lipoprotein
receptor involved in reverse cholesterol transport, are associated with serum lipid
levels in a sex-dependent fashion. However, the mechanism ...
Functional Variants in Notch Pathway Genes NCOR2, NCSTN, and MAML2 Predict Survival of Patients with Cutaneous Melanoma.
(Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, 2015-07)
BACKGROUND: The Notch signaling pathway is constitutively activated in human cutaneous
melanoma to promote growth and aggressive metastatic potential of primary melanoma
cells. Therefore, genetic variants in Notch pathway ...
Association between a rare novel TP53 variant (rs78378222) and melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck and lung cancer susceptibility in non-Hispanic Whites.
(Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2013-07)
Recently, several studies have investigated the association between a newly reported
rare functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TP53 (rs78378222) and cancer
risk, but generated inconsistent findings. The present ...
Genetic variants in the platelet-derived growth factor subunit B gene associated with pancreatic cancer risk.
(International journal of cancer, 2018-04)
The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway plays important roles
in development and progression of human cancers. In our study, we aimed to identify
genetic variants of the PDGF pathway genes associated ...
