Number 2 February 2020 Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology Volume 1 - Number 1 May - September 1997 Volume 24 - Number 2 February 2020 Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL INIST-CNRS Scope The Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology is a peer reviewed on-line journal in open access, devoted to genes, cytogenetics, and clinical entities in cancer, and cancer-prone diseases. It is made for and by: clinicians and researchers in cytogenetics, molecular biology, oncology, haematology, and pathology. One main scope of the Atlas is to conjugate the scientific information provided by cytogenetics/molecular genetics to the clinical setting (diagnostics, prognostics and therapeutic design), another is to provide an encyclopedic knowledge in cancer genetics. The Atlas deals with cancer research and genomics. It is at the crossroads of research, virtual medical university (university and post-university e-learning), and telemedicine. It contributes to "meta-medicine", this mediation, using information technology, between the increasing amount of knowledge and the individual, having to use the information. Towards a personalized medicine of cancer. It presents structured review articles ("cards") on: 1- Genes, 2- Leukemias, 3- Solid tumors, 4- Cancer-prone diseases, and also 5- "Deep insights": more traditional review articles on the above subjects and on surrounding topics. It also present 6- Case reports in hematology and 7- Educational items in the various related topics for students in Medicine and in Sciences. The Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology does not publish research articles.

The classification of breast tumors into distinct molecular subtypes by gene profiling and immunodetection of surrogate markers has proven useful for tumor prognosis and prediction of effective targeted treatments. The challenge now is to identify molecular biomarkers that may be of functional relevance for personalized therapy of breast tumors with poor outcome that do not respond to available treatments. The Mitochondrial Tumor Suppressor (MTUS1) gene is an interesting candidate whose expression is reduced in colon, pancreas, ovary and oral cancers. The present study investigates the expression and functional effects of MTUS1 gene products in breast cancer. Methods and Findings: By means of gene array analysis, real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, we show here that MTUS1/ATIP3 is significantly down-regulated in a series of 151 infiltrating breast cancer carcinomas as compared to normal breast tissue.

Although an increased cell mammals and plays a central role in maintaining organ size and tissue size can be achieved through the accumulation of cell mass during the homeostasis. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) physiologically isolates growth of diploid cells, cell size is often correlated with the ploidy of the brain from circulating blood or the hemolymph system, and its DNA content and is increased via polyploidy during development, integrity is strictly maintained to perform sophisticated neuronal characteristics that are important for organogenesis, such as proper functions.

  • Oncoscore: a Novel, Internet-Based Tool to Assess the Oncogenic Potential of Genes
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN OncoScore: a novel, Internet- based tool to assess the oncogenic potential of genes Received: 06 July 2016 Rocco Piazza1, Daniele Ramazzotti2, Roberta Spinelli1, Alessandra Pirola3, Luca De Sano4, Accepted: 15 March 2017 Pierangelo Ferrari3, Vera Magistroni1, Nicoletta Cordani1, Nitesh Sharma5 & Published: 07 April 2017 Carlo Gambacorti-Passerini1 The complicated, evolving landscape of cancer mutations poses a formidable challenge to identify cancer genes among the large lists of mutations typically generated in NGS experiments. The ability to prioritize these variants is therefore of paramount importance. To address this issue we developed OncoScore, a text-mining tool that ranks genes according to their association with cancer, based on available biomedical literature. Receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve (AUC) metrics on manually curated datasets confirmed the excellent discriminating capability of OncoScore (OncoScore cut-off threshold = 21.09; AUC = 90.3%, 95% CI: 88.1–92.5%), indicating that OncoScore provides useful results in cases where an efficient prioritization of cancer-associated genes is needed. The huge amount of data emerging from NGS projects is bringing a revolution in molecular medicine, leading to the discovery of a large number of new somatic alterations that are associated with the onset and/or progression of cancer. However, researchers are facing a formidable challenge in prioritizing cancer genes among the variants generated by NGS experiments. Despite the development of a significant number of tools devoted to cancer driver prediction, limited effort has been dedicated to tools able to generate a gene-centered Oncogenic Score based on the evidence already available in the scientific literature.

  • Concordance of Copy Number Loss and Down-Regulation of Tumor Suppressor Genes: a Pan-Cancer Study Min Zhao1 and Zhongming Zhao2,3,4,5*
    The Author(s) BMC Genomics 2016, 17(Suppl 7):532 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-2904-y RESEARCH Open Access Concordance of copy number loss and down-regulation of tumor suppressor genes: a pan-cancer study Min Zhao1 and Zhongming Zhao2,3,4,5* From The International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM) 2015 Indianapolis, IN, USA. 13-15 November 2015 Abstract Background: Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) encode the guardian molecules to control cell growth. The genomic alteration of TSGs may cause tumorigenesis and promote cancer progression. So far, investigators have mainly studied the functional effects of somatic single nucleotide variants in TSGs. Copy number variation (CNV) is another important form of genetic variation, and is often involved in cancer biology and drug treatment, but studies of CNV in TSGs are less represented in literature. In addition, there is a lack of a combinatory analysis of gene expression and CNV in this important gene set. Such a study may provide more insights into the relationship between gene dosage and tumorigenesis. To meet this demand, we performed a systematic analysis of CNVs and gene expression in TSGs to provide a systematic view of CNV and gene expression change in TSGs in pan-cancer. Results: We identified 1170 TSGs with copy number gain or loss in 5846 tumor samples. Among them, 207 TSGs tended to have copy number loss (CNL), from which fifteen CNL hotspot regions were identified. The functional enrichment analysis revealed that the 207 TSGs were enriched in cancer-related pathways such as P53 signaling pathway and the P53 interactome.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) remains an important public health problem, with classic risk factors being smoking and excessive alcohol consumption and usually has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is important to explore the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis and screen the genes and pathways identified from such studies and their role in pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify genes or signal pathways associated with the development of HNSC. Methods: In this study, we downloaded gene expression profiles of GSE53819 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 18 HNSC tissues and 18 normal tissues.
