EGF+61 A>G polymorphism is not associated with lung cancer risk in the Brazilia...
Laus, Ana Carolina; de Paula, Flavia Escremim; de Lima, Marcos Alves; Carlos, Carolina Dias; Gomes, Izabela Natalia Faria; de Marchi, PedroEpidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) play an important role in lung carcinogenesis. A functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in EGF promoter region (EGF+61 A>G-rs4444903) has been associated with cancer susceptibility. Yet, in lung cancer, the EGF+61 A>G role is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of lung cancer associated with EGF+61 A>G SNP in the Brazilian popula...
Mutational profle of Brazilian lung adenocarcinoma unveils association of EGFR ...
Leal, Letícia Ferro; Paula, Flávia Escremim de; De Marchi, Pedro; Viana, Luciano de Souza; Pinto, Gustavo Dix Junqueira; Carlos, Carolina DiasLung cancer is the deadliest cancer worldwide. The mutational frequency of EGFR and KRAS genes in lung adenocarcinoma varies worldwide per ethnicity and smoking. The impact of EGFR and KRAS mutations in Brazilian lung cancer remains poorly explored. Thus, we investigated the frequency of EGFR and KRAS mutations in a large Brazilian series of lung adenocarcinoma together with patients' genetic ancestry, clinicop...
