概括
这项研究使用了全转录组关联研究 (TWAS) 来将基因表达与膀癌风险联系起来. 四个基因,SLC39A3,ZNF737,FAM53A和PPP1R2,被确定与膀癌的发展有显著关联.
科学领域:
- 遗传学 遗传学 是一个
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
背景情况:
- 全基因组关联研究 (GWAS) 已经确定了与膀癌易感性相关的遗传变异.
- 然而,基因调节在膀癌发展中的作用仍然在很大程度上未被探索.
研究的目的:
- 研究基因预测基因表达与膀癌风险之间的关联.
- 通过探索基因调节的功能影响来扩展现有的GWAS发现.
主要方法:

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
12.4K
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.

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs
8.5K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...
