Structural and functional consequences of non-synonymous SNPs within the LAMA2 protein: a molecular dynamics perspective.

Clinical phenotypic presentations associated with LAMA2 deficiency have shown a variety of manifestations. LAMA2 mutations are mainly linked to congenital muscular dystrophy, but there is also mounting evidence suggesting their presence in inflammatory breast cancer, laryngopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and ventricular tachycardia related to coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy. This study examined the structural and functional impacts of 144 non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) within the LAMA2 gene.

Exploring potential genes and pathways related to lung cancer: a graph theoretical analysis.

Lung cancer is the primary and third most frequently detected form of cancer in both males and females. The present study tries to perform integrated analysis in male as well as female patients inclusively both smoker and non-smokers. This study aims to identify diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for lung cancer patients using human microarray profile datasets.
