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 ...

UnknownCytogenetic prognostication within medulloblastoma subgroups.

Purpose

Medulloblastoma comprises four distinct molecular subgroups: WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4. Current medulloblastoma protocols stratify patients based on clinical features: patient age, metastatic stage, extent of resection, and histologic variant. Stark prognostic and genetic differ...

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...

UnknownGenome-wide association analysis of blood-pressure traits in African-ancestry individuals reveals common associated genes in African and non-African populations.
High blood pressure (BP) is more prevalent and contributes to more severe manifestations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in African Americans than in any other United States ethnic group. Several small African-ancestry (AA) BP genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been published, but their fi...

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...

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...

UnknownPolygenic prediction of body mass index and obesity through the life course and across ancestries.
Polygenic scores (PGSs) for body mass index (BMI) may guide early prevention and targeted treatment of obesity. Using genetic data from up to 5.1 million people (4.6% African ancestry, 14.4% American ancestry, 8.4% East Asian ancestry, 71.1% European ancestry and 1.5% South Asian ancestry) from the ...
