Publishing Negative Data: -Tubulin Mutations in Lung Cancer
It is widely known that the threshold for publishing negative data in the scientific literature is high, and those manuscripts that do survive peer-review are generally restricted to observations that refute a hypothesis that is currently in vogue. This is the case for a study reported by Kelley et al. (1) in this issue of the Journal, which analyzed a series of lung cancer samples for the pres...
متن کاملMutations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a strong association between tobacco use and lung cancer; however, the genetic targets of these carcinogens and the role of other environmental agents in this process have yet to be defined. We examined the contribution of alcohol use and cigarette smoking to p53 gene mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Mutations of the p53 gene were ...
متن کاملKeap1 mutations in lung cancer patients
Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) inhibits nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (NEF2L2; also named NRF2)-induced cytoprotection and has been hypothesized to represent a candidate tumor suppressor. We have previously reported the somatic mutations of the NRF2 gene (NFE2L2), however, the correlation between the Keap1 mutation and the clinicopathological features of lung cancer has not ...
متن کاملBRCA2 Mutations and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Recently, BRCA1 germline mutations were found in a high proportion (14-34%) of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). BRCA2 was either not analyzed or showed much lower mutation frequencies. Therefore, we screened a group of TNBC patients (n = 30) of white European descent for mutations in BRCA2 as well as in BRCA1. Cases were unselected for age of disease-onset (median age at brea...
متن کاملEpilepsy in Multigene Tubulin Family Mutations
Mutations in αand β-tubulin genes are responsible for a large spectrum of brain malformations secondary to abnormal neuronal migration, organization, differentiation, and axon guidance and maintenance. Motor and language developmental disorders, cognitive impairment and epilepsy are the main clinical associated symptoms. Frequency and severity of these disorders are largely related with the inv...
