Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

Body mass index evaluation in hypertensive women [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde, 2003
Hypertension prevalence is approximately three times higher in obese people. This study analyzed the Body Mass Index (BMI) in 200 hypertensive women in follow up treatment in a public hypertension center in the city of Fortaleza-CE, Brazil.

Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index and intra-abdominal fat mass. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundThe association between waist circumference (WC) and mortality is particularly strong and direct when adjusted for body mass index (BMI). One conceivable explanation for this association is that WC adjusted for BMI is a better predictor of the ...

Prognostic potential of body composition indices in detecting risk of musculoskeletal injury in army officer cadet profiles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
OBJECTIVES: High values in most of the body composition indices have been related to musculoskeletal injuries, but limited data exists on the accuracy of these diagnoses when detecting musculoskeletal injuries in military populations.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Independent associations of TOMM40 and APOE variants with body mass index [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The TOMM40-APOE variants are known for their strong, antagonistic associations with Alzheimer's disease and body weight. While a stronger role of the APOE than TOMM40 variants in Alzheimer's disease was suggested, comparative contribution of the TOMM40 ...

Genetic variance estimation with imputed variants finds negligible missing heritability for human height and body mass index

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2015
We propose a method (GREML-LDMS) to estimate heritability for human complex traits in unrelated individuals using whole-genome sequencing data. We demonstrate using simulations based on whole-genome sequencing data that ∼97% and ∼68% of variation at ...
