Divergent Evolutionary Patterns of NAC Transcription Factors Are Associated with Diversification and Gene Duplications in Angiosperm
NAC (NAM/ATAF/CUC) proteins constitute one of the biggest plant-specific transcription factor (TF) families and have crucial roles in diverse developmental programs during plant growth. Phylogenetic analyses have revealed both conserved and lineage-specific NAC subfamilies, among which various origins and distinct features were observed. It is reasonable to hypothesize that there should be dive...
متن کاملGene ontology analysis of gene-gene interactions in two genome-wide association studies of sporadic ALS
Background: It is increasingly clear that common human diseases have a complex genetic architecture characterized, in part, by epistasis or gene-gene interactions. We have previously identified statistically significant gene-gene interactions that replicated across two independent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The goal of the present stu...
متن کاملATXN2 and Its Neighbouring Gene SH2B3 Are Associated with Increased ALS Risk in the Turkish Population
Expansions of the polyglutamine (polyQ) domain (≥ 34) in Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) are the primary cause of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2). Recent studies reported that intermediate-length (27-33) expansions increase the risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 1-4% of cases in diverse populations. This study investigates the Turkish population with respect to ALS risk, genotyping 158 sporad...
متن کاملDcR3 gene polymorphisms are associated with sporadic breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma in Northeast Chinese women
Decoy Receptor 3 (DcR3), also called TNFRSF6β, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily and is a soluble receptor for FasL. DcR3 is overexpressed in cancers and contributes to tumorigenesis through immune suppression and promotion of angiogenesis. We found that DcR3 is overexpressed in breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC) cells as compared with normal controls. We als...
متن کاملGene Expression Profiles of Sporadic Canine Hemangiosarcoma Are Uniquely Associated with Breed
The role an individual's genetic background plays on phenotype and biological behavior of sporadic tumors remains incompletely understood. We showed previously that lymphomas from Golden Retrievers harbor defined, recurrent chromosomal aberrations that occur less frequently in lymphomas from other dog breeds, suggesting spontaneous canine tumors provide suitable models to define how heritable t...
