Genetic signatures of lung cancer: association and biomarker potential of EGFR, KRAS, and HER2 polymorphisms
Clinical and Translational Oncology
Timothy Ortiz, assistant professor of nursing, authored a study with a team of researchers that examined lung cancer risk in the Pakistani population. From the abstract: “Lung cancer is a key global health challenge. Genetic variations in the key oncogenic pathways, including EGFR, HER2, and KRAS, can contribute to personal susceptibility and disease progression. The objective of this study was to assess the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes, including KRAS, HER2, and EGFR, and lung cancer risk in the Pakistani population.”
