- Identification and characterization of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in microRNAs involved in glioblastoma susceptibility patients, BP.MS
Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) represents a significant portion of neurological tumors. It is characterized by poorly differentiated neoplastic astrocytes with areas of vascular proliferation and necrosis. The survival rate of the patients is inversely proportional to the degree of the tumor, where grade IV is the most aggressive with a relatively short prognosis. Biological heterogeneit...
- Characterization of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the microRNA-146a and susceptibility to colorectal cancer, BP.IC
Abstract
Mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes have been described in colorectal cancer (CRC). One of the mainly DNA repair pathways is homologous recombination (HR). When HR is altered by gene mutation, cells are not able to perform DNA repair, resulting in apoptosis or tumorigenesis. The lysine methylation of histone proteins affects many aspects of the chrom...
