Impact of BCL2 polymorphisms on survival in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder
AssociationN=179Jochen Hess et al.(2017)· Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology

This study examined three BCL2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (c.-938C>A rs2279115, c.21G>A rs1801018, and c.*2203A>G rs4987853) in 179 bladder cancer patients and found significant associations with survival outcomes. The c.-938C>A polymorphism was associated with relapse-free survival (p=0.024), while c.21G>A showed stronger associations with both relapse-free survival (p=0.009) and progression-free survival (p=0.012), demonstrating pronounced allele dose effects in both cases. The c.*2203A>G polymorphism showed no significant survival associations.

A Comprehensive Family-Based Replication Study of Schizophrenia Genes
AssociationN=28,251Karolina A. Aberg et al.(2013)· JAMA Psychiatry

This comprehensive family-based replication study tested 8,107 SNPs in 6,298 individuals (3,286 schizophrenia cases) from 1,811 nuclear families, following a meta-analysis of 18 schizophrenia GWAS studies. The study replicated major findings in TCF4 (P=2.53×10⁻¹⁰) and NOTCH4 (P=3.16×10⁻⁷), and identified novel susceptibility loci including POM121L2 (P=3.51×10⁻⁷), AS3MT (P=9.01×10⁻⁷), CNNM2 (P=6.07×10⁻⁷), and NT5C2 (P=4.09×10⁻⁷). Pathway analyses revealed significant enrichment in neuronal function (axonal guidance, neuronal systems, L1 cell adhesion) and immune system pathways (antigen processing, T-cell adhesion molecules).

About BCL2

This gene encodes an integral outer mitochondrial membrane protein that blocks the apoptotic death of some cells such as lymphocytes. Constitutive expression of BCL2, such as in the case of translocation of BCL2 to Ig heavy chain locus, is thought to be the cause of follicular lymphoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
