Background: The goal of this bioinformatics research is to get a comprehensive understanding of the driver genes and their function in the development, progression, and treatment of cervical cancer. This study constitutes a pioneering attempt, adding to our knowledge of genetic diversity and its ramifications.

Material And Methods: In this project, we use bioinformatics and systems biology methods to identify candidate transcription factors and the genes they regulate in order to identify microRNAs and LncRNAs that regulate these transcription factors and lead to the discovery of new medicines for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Fibrillin-1, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein encoded by the FBN1 gene, serves as a microfibril scaffold crucial for elastic fiber formation and homeostasis in pliable tissue such as the skin. Aside from causing Marfan syndrome, some mutations in FBN1 result in scleroderma, marked by hardened and thicker skin which limits joint mobility. Here, we describe a tight skin phenotype in the Fbn1 mice carrying a corresponding variant of FBN1 in the hybrid1 domain that was identified in a patient with familial aortic dissection.
