Clinical and pathological characteristics of Chinese patients with BRCA related breast cancer

Haplotype variation in the ACE gene in global populations, with special reference to India, and an alternative model of evolution of haplotypes
- 2011
Abstract Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) is known to be associated with
human cardiovascular and psychiatric pathophysiology. We have undertaken a
global survey of the haplotypes in ACE gene to study diversity and to draw
inferences on the nature of selective forces that may be operating on this gene.
We have investigated the haplotype profiles reconstructed using polymorphisms in
the regula...
The GAMY Project: young people’s attitudes to genetics in the South Wales valleys
Tập 4 - Trang 49-60 - 2011
This paper explores young people’s attitudes to genetics. It describes a
qualitative study involving a group of teenagers in a deprived South Wales
valley town over a period of 18 months. The GAMY (Genetics and Merthyr Youth)
Project involved a series of interactions with participants, including 2
interviews, 4 group days and 4 genetics tasks through which these young people
learned about, and the...
Genome-wide identification and annotation of HIF-1α binding sites in two cell lines using massively parallel sequencing
Tập 4 - Trang 35-48 - 2011
We identified 531 and 616 putative HIF-1α target sites by ChIP-Seq in the
cancerous cell line DLD-1 and the non-cancerous cell line TIG-3, respectively.
We also examined the positions and expression levels of transcriptional start
sites (TSSs) in these cell lines using our TSS-Seq method. We observed that 121
and 48 genes in DLD-1 and TIG-3 cells, respectively, had HIF-1α binding sites in
proximal...
Germ-line variation at a functional p53 binding site increases susceptibility to breast cancer development
Tập 3 - Trang 31-40 - 2010
Multiple lines of evidence suggest regulatory variation to play an important
role in phenotypic evolution and disease development, but few regulatory
polymorphisms have been characterized genetically and molecularly. Recent
technological advances have made it possible to identify bona fide regulatory
sequences experimentally on a genome-wide scale and opened the window for the
biological interroga...
Intra-consortium data sharing in multi-national, multi-institutional genomic studies: gaps and guidance
Tập 3 - Trang 11-14 - 2009
Growing investments in health research by governments and charitable
organizations have fueled an increase in collaborative research projects between
investigators from affluent and developing countries. Current international
guidelines are silent on common intra-consortium data-sharing issues that arise
in the context of such collaborations. A lack of guidance on intra-consortium
data sharing thr...
Genetic determinants of immune-response to a polysaccharide vaccine for typhoid
Tập 3 - Trang 17-30 - 2010
Differences in immunological response among vaccine recipients are determined
both by their genetic differences and environmental factors. Knowledge of
genetic determinants of immunological response to a vaccine can be used to
design a vaccine that circumvents immunogenetic restrictions. The currently
available vaccine for typhoid is a pure polysaccharide vaccine, immune response
to which is T-cel...
The extent of functionality in the human genome
Tập 7 - Trang 1-4 - 2013
Recently articles have been published disputing the main finding of the ENCODE
project that the majority of the human genome exhibits biochemical indices of
function, based primarily on low sequence conservation and the existence of
larger genomes in some ostensibly simpler organisms (the C-value enigma),
indicating the likely presence of significant amounts of junk. Here we challenge
these argume...
