  • Discovery of genetic biomarkers contributing to variation in drug response of cytidine analogues using human lymphoblastoid cell lines - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 24483146

    ABSTRACT: Background Two cytidine analogues, gemcitabine and cytosine arabinoside (AraC), are widely used in the treatment of a variety of cancers with a large individual variation in response. To identify potential genetic biomarkers associated with response to these two drugs, we used a human lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) model system with extensive genomic data, including 1.3 million SNPs and 54,000 basal expression probesets to perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with gemcitabine and AraC IC50 values. Results We identified 11 and 27 SNP loci significantly associated with gemcitabine and AraC IC50 values, respectively. Eleven candidate genes were functionally validated using siRNA knockdown approach in multiple cancer cell lines. We also characterized the potential mechanism

  • The power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34887591

    ABSTRACT: Elevated blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varying prevalence worldwide due to differing dietary patterns and medication use. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, particularly through the lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of blood lipid levels have led to important biological and clinical insights, as well as new drug targets, for cardiovascular disease. However, most previous GWAS have been conducted in European ancestry populations and may have missed genetic variants contributing to lipid level variation in other ancestry groups due to differences in allele frequencies, effect sizes, and linkage-disequilibr
