Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملEpigenetic Biomarkers: Potential Applications in Gastrointestinal Cancers
Genetics and epigenetics coregulate the cancer initiation and progression. Epigenetic mechanisms include DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling, and noncoding RNAs. Aberrant epigenetic modifications play a fundamental role in the formation of gastrointestinal cancers. Advances in epigenetics offer a better understanding of the carcinogenesis and provide new insights into th...
متن کاملGastrointestinal tract cancers: Genetics, heritability and germ line mutations
Gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancers that arise due to genetic mutations affect a large number of individuals worldwide. Even though many of the GI tract cancers arise sporadically, few of these GI tract cancers harboring a hereditary predisposition are now recognized and well characterized. These include Cowden syndrome, MUTYH-associated polyposis, hereditary pancreatic cancer, Lynch syndrome, ...

متن کاملMolecular pathology and genetics of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the luminal gastrointestinal tract and pancreas are increasing in incidence and prevalence. Prior assumptions about the benign nature of 'carcinoids' and the clinical importance of distinguishing functional vs. nonfunctional tumours are being overturned through greater understanding of disease behaviour and heterogeneity. This review highlights...
