UnknownWeekly docetaxel and gemcitabine in previously treated metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Aim

To assess the efficacy and safety of weekly docetaxel plus a fixed-dose rate (FDR) of gemcitabine in metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Methods

A multi-center, open-label, prospective phase II study was designed. Thirty-three esophageal SCC patients with document...

ProteomicsnextPP for chromosome-based proteomic research using neXtProt and GENCODE databases
In this study, we introduce a streamlined pipeline using customized and concatenated GENCODE and neXtProt databases with controlled false discovery rate (FDR) for finding GENCODE ASVs and missing proteins while mapping onto single amino acid variants (SAAVs) from Hippocampal dataset.

ProteomicsIdentification of Missing Proteins in Human Olfactory Epithelial Tissue by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry
We performed proteomic analyses of human olfactory epithelial tissue to identify missing proteins using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Using a next-generation proteomic pipeline with a <1.0% false discovery rate at the peptide and protein levels, we identified 3,731 proteins, among ...

UnknownMultiple nonglycemic genomic loci are newly associated with blood level of glycated hemoglobin in East Asians.
Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is used as a measure of glycemic control and also as a diagnostic criterion for diabetes. To discover novel loci harboring common variants associated with HbA1c in East Asians, we conducted a meta-analysis of 13 genome-wide association studies (GWAS; N = 21,026). We r...

UnknownMeta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in East Asian-ancestry populations identifies four new loci for body mass index.
Recent genetic association studies have identified 55 genetic loci associated with obesity or body mass index (BMI). The vast majority, 51 loci, however, were identified in European-ancestry populations. We conducted a meta-analysis of associations between BMI and ∼2.5 million genotyped or imputed s...

UnknownThe power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids.
Increased blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varied prevalence worldwide owing to different dietary patterns and medication use1. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, in particular through reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol leve...

UnknownAssociation of genetic variation with systolic and diastolic blood pressure among African Americans: the Candidate Gene Association Resource study.
The prevalence of hypertension in African Americans (AAs) is higher than in other US groups; yet, few have performed genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in AA. Among people of European descent, GWASs have identified genetic variants at 13 loci that are associated with blood pressure. It is unkno...

UnknownA saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height.
Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes1. Here, using data from a genome-wide association study of 5.4 millio...

UnknownMeta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function-related traits in east Asian populations.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), impairment of kidney function, is a serious public health problem, and the assessment of genetic factors influencing kidney function has substantial clinical relevance. Here, we report a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function-related traits...

UnknownGenetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk.
Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥140 mm Hg systolic blood pressure or  ≥90 mm Hg diastolic blood pressure). Even small increments in blood pressure are associat...
