Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease with genetic basis not fully understood yet. This study aims to investigate the genomics, epigenomics and pharmacogenomics bases of monogenic and polygenic FH. Patients with FH diagnosed phenotypically will be recruited in six research centers from different regions of Brazil. The methods include: (i) Ultra deep DNA seque…
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a highly effective antineoplastic agent, widely used in the treatment of various malignant tumors, including ovary, endometrium, pulmonary, bladder, head and neck, testicular, breast and colorectal cancer. Regarding CDDP-induced toxicity (mainly nephrotoxicity) considerable inter-individual differences have been reported. Several factors must be considered for differen…
The most effective treatment for advanced head and neck cancer is concomitant cisplatin and radiotherapy. However, its use is limited due to its toxicities caused by oxidative stress, mainly nephrotoxicity. There is a need to identify new biomarkers of nephrotoxicity. Among the biomarkers studied, we have the microRNAs and oxidized biomolecules. In addition to these possible biomarkers, t…

Gynecological tumors, a group of neoplasms that affect the female reproductive system, are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. It includes, among other locations, tumors of the ovary, uterine cervix, and endometrium. In advanced stages of the disease, the recommended treatment is cytoreductive surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with a platinum …
The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the agent responsible for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has become the latest worldwide emergency. The dysregulated expression of some microRNAs (miRNAs) can, for example, modulate the transcription and translation of genes related to immunomodulatory factors that may inhibit or potentiate the inflammatory response, which is quite pronounced in sev…
MIR-443B-59 as a potential biomarker for COVID-19's diagnosis of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of Coronavirus's Disease 2019(COVID-19), has become the most recent worldwide emergency. At this moment, we use our expertise in genetic and epigenetic areas to contribute in a significant way to the context of thesis-CoV-2 pandemic. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) consists of small, …

Head and neck cancer corresponds to tumors located in the upper aerodigestive tract. The most effective treatment is radiotherapy concomitant with chemotherapy with high doses of cisplatin; however, its use is limited due to its adverse reactions, especially nephrotoxicity. Therefore, there is a need for identification of nephrotoxicity predictor molecules, since classical pathological ma…
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness characterized by positive, negative and cognitive symptoms that affect almost every aspect of mental activity, including perception, attention, memory and emotion affecting approximately 1% of the global population. Its treatment depends on several clinical parameters, being antipsychotics the main therapeutic class of choice for its treatment. Al…
Head and neck cancer correspond to tumors located in the upper aerodigestive pathways. The most indicated treatment consists of radiotherapy concomitant with chemotherapy with high doses of cisplatin, but its use is limited due to its toxicities, mainly renal, caused by oxidative stress. There is a need to identify new biomarkers of nephrotoxicity, since traditional markers are poorly sen…

Cisplatin is a highly effective antineoplastic agent, however, its use is limited due to its adverse reactions, especially nephrotoxicity. Therefore, there is a need to identify nephrotoxicity biomarker molecules, as classical pathological markers have low sensitivity and specificity. Among the biomarkers proposed in recent years, one of the most promising is miRNA. In a recent study carr…
Cisplatin is a highly effective antineoplastic agent, widely used in the treatment of various malignant tumors, in adults and pediatrics. Despite being effective, toxicity can limits its use. Ototoxicity mediated by cisplatin is irreversible and, in children, it is very important because of the impact on their speech-language acquisition development, social-emotional development, and lear…
Tramadol is an analgesic drug indicated for the treatment of pain of moderate to severe intensity. It is a drug largely used for postoperative analgesia in orthopedic surgery, where it is included in the standard prescription protocol as rescue medication for standard programmed analgesia. Tramadol exerts its analgesic action acting synergistically as an opioid agonist and as an inhibitor…
