Mutations in solute carrier family 4 member 1 (SLC4A1) encoding anion exchanger 1 (AE1) are the most common cause of autosomal recessive distal renal tubular acidosis (AR dRTA) in Southeast Asians. To explain the...
Increasing evidence has suggested an association between carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) and periodontitis (PD); however, the mechanisms have not been fully understood. This study aims ...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of heterogeneous hematopoietic malignancy that accounts for approximately 20% of adult ALL. Although ALL complete remission (CR) rate has increased to 85–90% after ...
Gastric carcinoma is the most common malignant tumour of the human digestive system worldwide. CD44 serves as a marker for several tumour stem cells, including gastric cancer. However, the prognostic value of ...
To date, only twenty-one cases diagnosed postnatally with mosaic trisomy 12 have been reported. The most frequent phenotypic manifestations are developmental delay, dysmorphic facial features, congenital heart...
In China, gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. This study aimed to explore the relationship of rs2297810, rs4646491 and rs2297809 polymorphisms of CYP4B1 with susceptibility to GC in th...
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major form of liver cancer with a poor prognosis. Amino acid metabolism has been found to alter in cancers and contributes to malignant progression. However, the asparagin...
Energy metabolism disorder, especially lipid metabolism disorder, is an important biological characteristic of colon cancer. This research sought to examine the association between lipid metabolism-related lon...
Mandibular hypoplasia, deafness, progeroid features, and lipodystrophy syndrome (MDPL; OMIM# 615381) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, with only a few reported cases worldwide. Herein, we describe the cli...
Various studies showed that the effect of immune activation is pro-atherogenic and coronary heart disease (CHD) should therefore be considered an autoimmune disease. This study aimed to identify potential immu...
Autophagy regulators play important roles in the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors and are involved in immune regulation and drug resistance. However, the modulatory roles and prognostic value ...
