Clinical characteristics at diagnosis of patients who survive more than 5 years after diagnosis of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2013 ASCO Annual ...

Genetic markers such as fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP), simple sequence repeat (SSR), and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide unique identifiers for individual organisms. This aids ...

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for breast cancer (BC) risk stratification have been developed primarily in women of European ancestry. Their application to women of non-European ancestry has lagged ...

Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs are known to play important roles ...
