Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A is one of the most important subfamily of drug metabolising enzymes. Genetic factors such as breed and allelic variants might modify CYP3A expression and enzyme activity and lead to inter- and intra-individual variability in ...

Genetic variation in genes interacting with BRCA1/2 and risk of breast cancer in Cypriot population. [PDF]
Inability to correctly repair DNA damage is known to play a role in the development of breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair genes have been identified, which modify the DNA repair capacity, which in turn may affect the risk

Recurrent miscalling of missense variation from short-read genome sequence data
Background Short-read resequencing of genomes produces abundant information of the genetic variation of individuals. Due to their numerous nature, these variants are rarely exhaustively validated.

Common variants of the TCF7L2 gene are associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a UK-resident South Asian population [PDF]
Background Recent studies have implicated variants of the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene in genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus in several different populations. The aim of this study was to determine whether variants of this

EZH2 Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs): Diagnostic and Prognostic Role in 10 Solid Tumor Types
The enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) gene encodes a histone methyltransferase that is a catalytic subunit of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) group of proteins that act to repress gene expression.

Influence of the MDM2 single nucleotide polymorphism SNP309 on tumour development in BRCA1 mutation carriers [PDF]
BackgroundThe MDM2 gene encodes a negative regulator of the p53 tumour suppressor protein. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MDM2 promoter (a T to G exchange at nucleotide 309) has been reported to produce accelerated tumour formation in ...

A novel DRD2 single-nucleotide polymorphism associated with schizophrenia predicts age of onset : HapMap tag-single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis [PDF]
Background: Dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) is thought to be critical in regulating the dopaminergic pathway in the brain which is known to be important in the aetiology of schizophrenia.
