Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes01:05

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

10.0K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

16.5K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.8K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Inherited mutations in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs) significantly increase cancer risk.
  • Understanding CPGs is vital for cancer prevention, early diagnosis, and management.
  • Existing CPG information is fragmented, hindering comprehensive research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a centralized, literature-based database for human, rat, and mouse CPGs.
  • To provide a valuable resource for researchers studying cancer predisposition.
  • To facilitate data mining and analysis of CPGs and their functions.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Cancer Predisposition Gene Database (dbCPG).
  • Compiled data on 827 human, 637 rat, and 658 mouse CPGs.
  • Performed data mining including functional annotation, gene prioritization, network, and overlap analyses.
  • Created a user-friendly web interface for data access and exploration.

Main Results:

  • Established dbCPG, the first literature-based resource for human CPGs.
  • Database includes 827 human, 637 rat, and 658 mouse CPGs.
  • Data mining provided insights into CPG functions and relationships.

Conclusions:

  • dbCPG serves as a comprehensive resource for cancer predisposition gene research.
  • The database supports further studies on the mechanisms of cancer predisposition.
  • dbCPG facilitates improved understanding and management of hereditary cancers.
