Meta-analysis of Genetic polymorphism of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog2 gene in cancer susceptibility.

The alteration in the expression of enhancer of zeste homolog-2 (EZH2) gene is very well known in the progression, severity, and aggressiveness of cancer. Hence, it is important to study the genomic variation of the EZH2 gene. Previously, many association-based studies investigated the association between rs2302427C>G and cancer susceptibility.

EZH2 Expression and Survival for ER+/tamoxifen Treated Breast Cancer Patients with rs2302427 C>G: A Novel Prognostic and Risk Predictive Biomarker.

Background And Objectives: Overexpression of the EZH2 gene silences several genes involved in DNA repair, cell-cell adhesion, and tumor suppressor genes, resulting in the development of several types of cancers. In the present study, a genetic polymorphism analysis was performed by selecting three SNPs (rs.2302427C>G, rs.

Valproic acid-induced eosinophilic pleural effusion: An uncommon occurrence.

A 43-year-old male using valproic acid (VA) for 2 years for seizure disorder presented with right-sided moderate pleural effusion. Pleural fluid analysis revealed exudative effusion with 42% eosinophils. There was no evidence of haemothorax, pneumothorax, malignancy, and parasitic infections.
