Exploring the Complex Relationship between Gut Microbiota and Risk of Colorectal Neoplasia Using Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Analysis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Human gut microbiome has complex relationships with the host, contributing to metabolism, immunity, and carcinogenesis. METHODS: Summary-level data for gut microbiota and metabolites were obtained from MiBioGen, ...
Exploiting gene dependency to inform drug development for multiple myeloma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-07-26)
Despite recent advances in therapy, multiple myeloma essentially remains an incurable malignancy. Targeting tumour-specific essential genes, which constitute a druggable dependency, potentially offers a strategy for ...
Novel genetic variants in the P38MAPK pathway gene ZAK and susceptibility to lung cancer.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)
The P38MAPK pathway participates in regulating cell cycle, inflammation, development, cell death, cell differentiation, and tumorigenesis. Genetic variants of some genes in the P38MAPK pathway are reportedly associated ...
Functional dissection of inherited non-coding variation influencing multiple myeloma risk.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-01-10)
Thousands of non-coding variants have been associated with increased risk of human diseases, yet the causal variants and their mechanisms-of-action remain obscure. In an integrative study combining massively parallel ...
Germline variation in RASAL2 may predict survival in patients with RAS-activated colorectal cancer.
(WILEY, 2023-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic agents that specifically target patients with RAS mutant colorectal cancer (CRC) are needed. We sought potential drug targets by relating genome-wide association study and survival data in patients ...
Mendelian randomisation implicates hyperlipidaemia as a risk factor for colorectal cancer.
(WILEY, 2017-06-15)
While elevated blood cholesterol has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in observational studies, causality is uncertain. Here we apply a Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis to examine the ...
A genome-wide association study identifies risk loci for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 10q26.13 and 12q23.1.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have shown that common genetic variation contributes to the heritable risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To identify new susceptibility loci for the largest subtype ...
Identification of miRSNPs associated with the risk of multiple myeloma.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2017-02-01)
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of plasma cells usually infiltrating the bone marrow, associated with the production of a monoclonal immunoglobulin (M protein) which can be detected in the blood and/or urine. Multiple ...
Telomere structure and maintenance gene variants and risk of five cancer types.
(WILEY, 2016-12-15)
Telomeres cap chromosome ends, protecting them from degradation, double-strand breaks, and end-to-end fusions. Telomeres are maintained by telomerase, a reverse transcriptase encoded by TERT, and an RNA template encoded ...
Pleiotropic Analysis of Lung Cancer and Blood Triglycerides.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2016-12-01)
Epidemiologically related traits may share genetic risk factors, and pleiotropic analysis could identify individual loci associated with these traits. Because of their shared epidemiological associations, we conducted ...
