, 2020 , Article)
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a major cause of cardiovascular diseases and the most devastating effects are on children and young adults. RHD is caused due to the interaction between microbial, environmental, ...
Whole-exome sequencing analysis of NSCLC reveals the pathogenic missense variants from cancer-associated genes
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Background: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. NSCLC accounts for 84% of all lung cancer cases. In recent years, advances in pathway understanding, methods for discovering novel ...
TLR4 Receptor D299G/T399I Haplotype Polymorphism Is Associated with Insulin Resistance in Obese Female Subjects
(2020 , Article)
Background: Activation of Toll-like-receptor 4 (TLR4) causes chronic inflammation that can result in obesity and metabolic syndrome (MeS). Aim: This study aimed to investigate the role of TLR4 polymorphisms of TLR4D299G/T399I, ...
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 ...

, 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 ...
Comparison of potential inhibitors and targeting fat mass and obesity-associated protein causing diabesity through docking and molecular dynamics strategies.
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified an association between polymorphisms in the FTO gene and obesity. The FTO: rs9939609, an intronic variant, is considered a risk allele for developing diabesity in ...
