Potential relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms used in forensic genetics and diseases or other traits in European population
(Springer, 2015-03-13)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are an interesting option to facilitate the analysis of highly degraded DNA by allowing the reduction of the size of the DNA amplicons. The SNPforID 52-plex panel is a clear example ...
A Genome-Wide Study of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in MicroRNAs and Further In Silico Analysis Reveals Their Putative Role in Susceptibility to Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease.
(Springer Nature, 2020-09-06)
Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of growing relevance in an aging society for which predictive biomarkers are needed. Many genes involved in LOAD are tightly controlled by microRNAs ...
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 ...
