Single nucleotide polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility
A large number of genes associated with various cancer types contain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). SNPs are located in gene promoters, exons, introns as well as 5'- and 3'- untranslated regions (UTRs) and affect gene expression by different mechanisms. These mechanisms depend on the role of the genetic elements in which the individual SNPs are located. Moreover, alterations in epigene...
متن کاملMicroRNA single-nucleotide polymorphisms and susceptibility to gastric cancer
Gastric cancer is the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous noncoding regulatory sequences that interact with tumor oncogenes and suppressors. Many studies have indicated that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs influence the susceptibility of gastric cancer. MiRNA SNPs have been explored for several years ...
متن کاملAssociation of CAT C-262T and SOD1 A251G single nucleotide polymorphisms susceptible to gastric cancer
Oxidative stress is known to be one of the major factors involved in the development and progression of cancer. Oxidative stress can occur due to an imbalance between concentrations of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant capacities. Catalase (CAT; OMIM 115500) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1; OMIM 147450) play important roles in the primary defense against oxidative stress. In the present ...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Association Studies: A Few Critical Points
Uncovering DNA sequence variations that correlate with phenotypic changes, e.g., diseases, is the aim of sequence variation studies. Common types sequence variations are Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip).SNPs are the third-generation molecular marker. SNP represents a DNA sequence variant of a single base pair with the minor allele occurring in more than 1% of a given popula...
متن کاملPredicting Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer Susceptibility from Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
Large-scale genome-wide genetic profiling using markers of SNPs provides opportunities to investigate the possibility of using those biomarkers for predicting genetic risks. Recent computational studies have identified some associated genetic variations which can explain a fraction of breast cancer risk and prostate cancer risk. We attempt to build accurate classification models for predicting ...
