Integrated Analysis of Germline and Tumor DNA Identifies New Candidate Genes Involved in Familial Colorectal Cancer
(MDPI, 2019-03-13)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows aggregation in some families but no alterations in the known hereditary CRC genes. We aimed to identify new candidate genes which are potentially involved in germline predisposition to familial ...
A new approach to epigenome-wide discovery of non-invasive methylation biomarkers for colorectal cancer screening in circulating cell-free DNA using pooled samples
(Biomed Central, 2018-04-16)
Background: Colorectal cancer is the fourth cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, though detection at early stages associates with good prognosis. Thus, there is a clear demand for novel non-invasive tests for the early ...
TREM-2 defends the liver against hepatocellular carcinoma through multifactorial protective mechanisms
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-07)
[EN] Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent
and aggressive cancer usually arising on a background
of chronic liver injury involving inflammatory and hepatic
regenerative processes. The triggering receptor ...
Clinical correlates of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody profiles in Spanish COVID-19 patients from a high incidence region
(Nature, 2021-02-23)
Laboratory testing for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) consists of two pillars: the detection of viral RNA via rt-PCR as the diagnostic gold standard in acute cases, and the detection of ...
Modeling Personalized Adjuvant TreaTment in EaRly stage coloN cancer (PATTERN)
(Springer, 2020-09)
Aim To develop a decision model for the population-level evaluation of strategies to improve the selection of stage II colon cancer (CC) patients who benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods A Markov cohort model with ...
Colorectal Cancer Genetic Variants Are Also Associated with Serrated Polyposis Syndrome Susceptibility
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-10)
Background Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a clinical entity characterised by large and/ormultiple serrated polyps throughout the colon and increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The basis for SPS genetic ...
Exome Sequencing of Early-Onset Patients Supports Genetic Heterogeneity in Colorectal Cancer
(Springer, 2021-05-27)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex disease that can be caused by a spectrum of genetic variants ranging from low to high penetrance changes, that interact with the environment to determine which individuals will develop ...
Colorectal cancer molecular classification using BRAF, KRAS, microsatellite instability and CIMP status: Prognostic implications and response to chemotherapy
(Public Library of Science, 2018-09-06)
Objective
The aim of this study was to validate a molecular classification of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on microsatellite instability (MSI), CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) status, BRAF, and KRAS and investigate ...
Mediastinal abscess, an unusual way of presentation of eosinophilic esophagitis
(Biomed Central, 2019-02-28)
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is one of the most prevalent esophageal diseases and the leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in children and young adults. EoE represents a chronic, local immune-mediated esophageal ...
Functional rare variants influence the clinical response to anti-TNF therapy in Crohn's disease
(Sage, 2019-09)
Background: The effect of low-frequency functional variation on anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) response in Crohn's disease (CD) patients remains unexplored. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact ...
