Analysis on GENIE reveals novel recurrent variants that affect molecular diagnosis of sizable number of cancer patients

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2019
Background Significant numbers of variants detected in cancer patients are often left labeled only as variants of unknown significance (VUS). In order to expand precision medicine to a wider population, we need to extend our knowledge of pathogenicity ...

Mutational Signatures in Cancer (MuSiCa): a web application to implement mutational signatures analysis in cancer samples

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background Mutational signatures have been proved as a valuable pattern in somatic genomics, mainly regarding cancer, with a potential application as a biomarker in clinical practice.

Prominent features of the amino acid mutation landscape in cancer. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Cancer can be viewed as a set of different diseases with distinctions based on tissue origin, driver mutations, and genetic signatures. Accordingly, each of these distinctions have been used to classify cancer subtypes and to reveal common features. Here,

CALR-ETdb, the database of calreticulin variants diversity in essential thrombocythemia

open access: yesPlatelets, 2022
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a blood cancer defined by a strong increase of platelet numbers. A quarter of patients suffering from ET show mutations in the last exon of calreticulin (CALR) gene.

Somatic Variations in Cervical Cancers in Indian Patients. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
There are very few reports that describe the mutational landscape of cervical cancer, one of the leading cancers in Indian women. The aim of the present study was to investigate the somatic mutations that occur in cervical cancer.

Comparative study of the evolution of cancer gene duplications across fish

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2022
Comparative studies of cancer‐related genes not only provide novel information about their evolution and function but also an understanding of cancer as a driving force in biological systems and species’ life histories. So far, these studies have focused

Profiling the interactome of protein kinase C ζ by proteomics and bioinformatics

open access: yesProteome Science, 2018
Background Protein kinase C ζ (PKCζ), an isoform of the atypical protein kinase C, is a pivotal regulator in cancer. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms whereby PKCζ regulates tumorigenesis and metastasis are still not fully understood.

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-Receptor 11 (PTPN11/Shp2) as a Driver Oncogene and a Novel Therapeutic Target in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
PTPN11 encodes the SHP2 protein tyrosine phosphatase that activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway upstream of KRAS and MEK. PTPN11/Shp2 somatic mutations occur frequently in Juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML); however, the ...

The complex impact of cancer-related missense mutations on the stability and on the biophysical and biochemical properties of MAPK1 and MAPK3 somatic variants

open access: yesHuman Genomics, 2023
Mitogen-activated protein kinases 1 and 3 (MAPK1 and MAPK3), also called extracellular regulated kinases (ERK2 and ERK1), are serine/threonine kinase activated downstream by the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signal transduction cascade that regulates a variety of ...
