Gene-Gene and Gene-Environment Interactions in Mild Hyperhomocysteinemia [PDF]

Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 2003
Mild/moderate hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), a highly prevalent condition, is independently associated with an increased risk of arterial and venous thromboembolic diseases. Early reports of the association of mild/moderate HHcy with juvenile venous thromboembolism have shown familiarity for HHcy in relatives of index cases with thrombosis.

RT‐PCR–Based Detection of Bone Marrow Involvement in Ewing Sarcoma: Diagnostic Validity and Prognostic Relevance

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In Ewing sarcoma (EwS), metastases, including those to bone marrow (BM), are the main factors influencing prognosis. Although reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) offers greater sensitivity, the current EWING protocol defines BM metastases solely using light microscopic detection.

Identifying molecular subgroups of patients with preeclampsia through bioinformatics

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-related disorder associated with serious complications. Its molecular mechanisms remain undefined; hence, we aimed to identify molecular subgroups of patients with PE using bioinformatics to aid treatment strategies.

T-Gene: improved target gene prediction [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2019
Abstract Motivation Identifying the genes regulated by a given transcription factor (TF) (its ‘target genes’) is a key step in developing a comprehensive understanding of gene regulation. Previously, we developed a method (CisMapper) for predicting the target genes of a TF based solely on the ...

Oncogenic NRAS Mutation in Incipient Sarcomatous Transformation of Cystic Nephroma From a Patient With DICER1‐Related Tumor Predisposition Syndrome

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaplastic sarcoma of the kidney (ASK) is a DICER1‐associated malignant tumor presumed to arise in a benign precursor, pediatric cystic nephroma (PCN). However, the initial oncogenic alteration(s) associated with malignant transformation are unknown.

Preoperative Cytopenia in Patients Affected by High‐Risk Neuroblastoma: Just a Matter of Platelets?

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In patients affected by high‐risk neuroblastoma (HR‐NB), complete macroscopic resection (CMR) is associated with better outcomes. These patients are often cytopenic due to intensive induction regimens. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of preoperative cytopenia on surgical outcome in patients with HR‐NB ...

Gene–gene and gene–environment interactions in ulcerative colitis [PDF]

Human Genetics, 2013
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified at least 133 ulcerative colitis (UC) associated loci. The role of genetic factors in clinical practice is not clearly defined. The relevance of genetic variants to disease pathogenesis is still uncertain because of not characterized gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.

Relation of Adverse Childhood Experiences to Clinical and Patient‐Reported Outcomes for Adults With Sickle Cell Disease: A Registry Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events prior to age 18 that are known to have a lasting impact on individuals’ health and well‐being. There is a gap in understanding the relationship between ACEs and Other Life Stressors and health status for adults with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients With Osteosarcoma: Local Control Outcomes With Dosimetric Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Osteosarcoma is a radioresistant tumor that may benefit from stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locoregional control in metastatic/recurrent disease. We report institutional practice patterns, outcomes, toxicity, and failures in osteosarcoma patients treated with SBRT.
