Variants in the 14q32 miRNA cluster are associated with osteosarcoma risk in the Spanish population
(Nature Publishing, 2018-10-18)
Association studies in osteosarcoma risk found significant results in intergenic regions, suggesting that regions which do not codify for proteins could play an important role. The deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) has ...
Genetic Variants in MiRNA Processing Genes and Pre-MiRNAs Are Associated with the Risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-20)
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several low-penetrance susceptibility alleles in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Nevertheless, these studies scarcely study regions that are implicated in non-coding ...
MTHFR polymorphisms in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: influence on methotrexate therapy
(Dove Medical Press, 2017-03-27)
Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component in the therapy used to treat childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia ( ALL). Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR) is a key enzyme for MTX pharmacokinetics. Two single-nucleotide ...
Pharmacogenetics of MicroRNAs and MicroRNAs Biogenesis Machinery in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
(Public Library Science, 2014-03-10)
Despite the clinical success of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy, toxicity is frequent. Therefore, it would be useful to identify predictors of adverse effects. In the last years, several studies have investigated ...
A Comprehensive Study of Vesicular and Non-Vesicular miRNAs from a Volume of Cerebrospinal Fluid Compatible with Clinical Practice
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2019)
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as potential biomarkers for minimally invasive diagnosis of central nervous system malignancies. However, despite significant advances in recent years, this field ...
Variants in vincristine pharmacodynamic genes involved in neurotoxicity at induction phase in the therapy of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Springer, 2019-02-06)
Vincristine is an important drug of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment protocols that can cause neurotoxicity. Patients treated with LAL/SHOP protocols often suffer from vincristine-related neurotoxicity in early ...
Lack of association between deficient mismatch repair expression and outcome in endometrial carcinomas of the endometrioid type
(Elsevier, 2014-05-09)
Objective: Endometrial carcinomas of the endometrioid type (EEC) are associated with a good prognosis. However, about 20% of them recur and new prognostic markers are needed. Microsatellite instability (MSI), associated ...
Variability in cerebrospinal fluid microRNAs through life
(Springer, 2020-07-16)
The development of human brain starts in the first weeks of embryo differentiation. However, there are many relevant neurodevelopmental processes that take place after birth and during lifespan. Such a fine and changing ...
Noncoding RNA-related polymorphisms in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility
(Springer, 2014-03-11)
Background: Evidence for an inherited genetic risk for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been provided in several studies. Most of them focused on coding regions. However, those regions represent only 1.5% of the ...
Polymorphisms in the methotrexate transport pathway: a new tool for MTX plasma level prediction in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2013-02)
Objectives
Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of therapy for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Treatment with MTX often causes toxicity, which can necessitate dose reduction or treatment cessation. ...
