A common and functional gene variant in the vascular endothelial growth factor a predicts clinical outcome in early‐stage breast cancer
ReviewGudrun Absenger et al.(2013)· Molecular Carcinogenesis

This document is a comprehensive collection of ~1,200 cancer-related research abstracts and summaries published in various journals (2013), covering clinical trials, pharmacogenomic studies, and mutation analyses across multiple cancer types including colorectal, breast, lung, lymphoma, and other malignancies. The collection documents associations between genetic variants (SNPs and somatic mutations), gene expression patterns, and cancer treatment outcomes, including studies on KRAS, EGFR, TP53, BRAF, and pharmacogenomic variants like CYP3A4 and UGT1A1.

ReviewChenli Xie et al.(2013)· Molecular Carcinogenesis

This is a comprehensive journal compilation containing multiple oncology and pharmacogenomics studies published in 2013 across various journals. The collection includes 60+ papers covering cancer treatment outcomes, genetic polymorphisms predicting chemotherapy response and survival, pharmacogenetic variants in drug metabolism and DNA repair genes, and prognostic biomarkers in various cancer types including breast, lung, colorectal, hematologic malignancies, and others. Key findings include associations of XRCC1 variants (rs915927, rs76507, rs2854501, rs2854509, rs3213255) with bladder cancer chemotherapy survival, ABCG2 rs2725264 with lung cancer overall survival (HR 3.22), SLCO1B1 rs4149056 with methotrexate pharmacokinetics, MTHFR rs1801131 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia outcome, and ABCC3/GSTM variants with acute myeloid leukemia survival.

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]
