Variability in cerebrospinal fluid microRNAs through life
(Springer, 2020-07-16)
The development of human brain starts in the first weeks of embryo differentiation. However, there are many relevant neurodevelopmental processes that take place after birth and during lifespan. Such a fine and changing ...
Noncoding RNA-related polymorphisms in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility
(Springer, 2014-03-11)
Background: Evidence for an inherited genetic risk for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been provided in several studies. Most of them focused on coding regions. However, those regions represent only 1.5% of the ...
The Role of the Dysregulation of Long Non-Coding and Circular RNA Expression in Medulloblastoma: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2023-09-22)
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in childhood. Although recent multi-omic studies have led to advances in MB classification, there is still room for improvement with regard to treatment response ...
Polymorphisms of the SLCO1B1 gene predict methotrexate-related toxicity in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Wiley, 2011-10)
Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of the therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Treatment with high-dose MTX often causes toxicity, recommending a dose reduction and/or cessation of ...
Polymorphisms in miRNA processing genes and their role in osteosarcoma risk
(Wiley, 2015-02-07)
Background
The possible associations between genetic variants and osteosarcoma risk have been analyzed without conclusive results. Those studies were focused mainly on genes of biologically plausible pathways. However, ...
A systematic review and meta-analysis of MTHFR polymorphisms in methotrexate toxicity prediction in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Springer, 2013-10-23)
Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component of therapy used to treat childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, C677T ...
High Mitochondrial DNA Stability in B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
(Public Library Science, 2009-11-18)
Background: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) leads to progressive accumulation of lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic tissues. Previous findings have suggested that the mtDNA could play an important role ...
MTHFR Polymorphisms In Childhood Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia: Influence On Methotrexate Therapy
(Dove Medical Press LTD, 2017)
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 ...
Confirmation of involvement of new variants at CDKN2A/B in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility in the Spanish population
(Public Library Science, 2017-05-08)
The locus CDKN2A/B (9p21.3), which comprises the tumor suppressors genes CDKN2A and CDKN2B and the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) known as ANRIL (or CDKN2B-AS), was associated with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) ...
Involvement of SNPs in miR-3117 and miR-3689d2 in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Risk
(Board, 2018-04-01)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. Numerous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) could play a role in this disease. Nowadays, more than 2500 miRNAs have been described, that ...
