Perspectives on the impact of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy in a multicultural population
Clinical Diabetes and Endocrinology, 2017 Background Since few studies have characterized painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (pDPN) symptoms in multicultural populations, this study fielded a survey to better understand pDPN and its impact in African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic ...

Effect of chemotherapy on passenger mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Changes in passenger mutation load and predicted immunotherapy response after chemotherapy treatment. Tumor cells rich with passenger mutations have increased sensitivity to chemotherapy. Correlation of passenger mutations with neoantigen load suggests highly mutated clones promote a more effective response to immunotherapy, and therefore, first‐line ...

Common variation in vitamin D pathway genes predicts circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D Levels among African Americans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Vitamin D is implicated in a wide range of health outcomes, and although environmental predictors of vitamin D levels are known, the genetic drivers of vitamin D status remain to be clarified.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.
