Combined Germline Variations of Thrombophilic Genes Promote Genesis of Lung Cancer
(ASIAN PACIFIC ORGANIZATION CANCER PREVENTION, 2013)
Background: A large variety of familiar and non-familiar lung carcinomas (LC) are caused by long term exposure to chemical carcinogens that are present in tobacco smoke. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of 5 thrombophilic ...
Predictive significance of KRAS point mutation in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma relation to smoking and asbestos exposure in middle Anatolia population
(DRUNPP-SARAJEVO, 2010)
Persons who have been occupationally exposed to environmental mutagens have a substantially increased risk for somatic oncogene mutations. Structural mutation in viral kristen rat sarcoma oncogene homolog 2 (KRAS; v-Ki-ras ...
The association between methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism and lung cancer risk
(SPRINGER, 2011)
This study aimed to determine the relation between methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism and lung cancer risk and the frequency of this polymorphism. The study involved 64 lung cancer patients (the ...
Prevalence of known mutations in the MEFV gene in a population screening with high rate of carriers
(SPRINGER, 2011)
The Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) shows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance and affects certain ethnic groups. Disease is caused by mutations in MEFV gene and more than 180 mutations have been defined in ...
Tissue specific epigenetic silencing of the distinct tumor suppressor genes in lung cancer
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2010)
The role of aberrant methylation of the cytosine-guanine dinucleotide islands in the promoter region of tumor suppressor genes in lung cancer development is increasingly recognized. DNAs extracted from cancer tissue biopsies ...
A Frame-Shift Mutation in the SLC34A2 Gene in Three Patients with Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis in an Inbred Family
(JAPAN SOC INTERNAL MEDICINE, 2010)
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of small calculi in the alveolar space. The SLC34A2 is thought to be responsible for the disease. We encountered three siblings of an ...
