Genetics, Epigenetics and Cancer
With deeper understanding of cell biology and genetics, it now appears that cancer is less an organ disease and more a disease of molecular mechanisms caused by mutations of specific genes. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of tissue growth regulation failure when the genes that regulate cell growth and differentiation are altered. Most cancers have multiple possible concurring causes, and it i...
متن کاملGenetics and epigenetics of gliomas.
Gliomas are the most common primary intrinsic brain tumours. Their classification is based on phenotypic resemblance to normal glial cells (astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, mixed oligoastrocytomas) and pathological grading. Whereas this system is clinically relevant and has been the basis for our understanding of gliomas, systematic use of next-generation sequencing has transformed our knowled...
متن کاملAdvances in Genetics Cardiovascular Epigenetics
Epigenetics is the study of heritable alterations in phenotypes and gene expression that occur without changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms are flexible genomic factors that not only can change genome function under exogenous influence, but also can provide a molecular substrate that allows for the stable propagation of gene expression states from one generation of cells to the ne...
متن کاملSystemic sclerosis: genetics and epigenetics.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune abnormalities, vascular obliteration, excessive extracellular matrix deposition, and fibrosis of the skin and/or internal organs. To date, the exact etiology of this complicated disease remains unknown. Over the past few years, however, the role of genetic susceptibility and epigenetic modifications caused by environmenta...
