Identification of dysregulated canonical pathways associated with pathogenesis and progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis—An integrated bioinformatics approach
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis and progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) remain poorly understood, making the diagnosis of ALS challenging. We aimed to find the novel gene biomarkers via ...
Enhanced Identification of Transcriptional Enhancers Provides Mechanistic Insights into Diseases.
(
Cell Press
, 2016 , Article)
Enhancers are distal cis-regulatory DNA elements that increase the expression of target genes. Various experimental and computational approaches including chromatin signature profiling have been developed to predict enhancers ...
Integrated gene network analysis sheds light on understanding the progression of Osteosarcoma
(
National library of medicine
, 2023 , Article)
Introduction: Osteosarcoma is a rare disorder among cancer, but the most frequently occurring among sarcomas in children and adolescents. It has been reported to possess the relapsing capability as well as accompanying ...
Krabbe Disease in the Arab World
(
IOS Press
, 2015 , Article)
The autosomal recessive inherited Krabbe disease (KD) is a devastating pediatric lysosomal storage disorder affecting white matter of the brain. It is caused by mutations in the gene coding for the lysosomal enzyme ...
Comparative computational assessment of the pathogenicity of mutations in the Aspartoacylase enzyme
(
Springer US
, 2017 , Article)
Aspartoacylase (ASPA) is a zinc-dependent abundant enzyme in the brain, which catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) into acetate and aspartate. Mutations in the ASPA gene are associated with the development ...
