Project description:In Asia, oral cancer (OC) and oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) constitute major health problems linked to use of betel quid. This work performed CGH genome-wide analysis of OC (12 from India, 12 from Sri Lanka) and OSF (6 from India) cases with normal controls.
Project description:This is a study to identify clinically relevant molecular signatures of gene expression in cervical cancer samples fro m patients in India Keywords: Cancer versus normal study
Project description:Methylation of CpG Islands within promoter regions of genes has been associated with gene silencing, suggesting loss of tumor suppressor function and tumorigenesis. The northeastern states of India are leaders in the country for cancers of several sites. Almost no reports are available of any DNA methylation biomarker for oropharyngeal cancers of the northeastern states. The present study aimed to identify targets of CpG hypermethylation and hypomethylation in oropharyngeal cancer prevalent in northeast India. Using Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450K microarray platform a genome wide screening has been done for differentially methylated genes, including genes not previously implicated in carcinogenesis. Differential gene expression correlated to their methylation status was elaborated using transcriptome profiling. The new genes identified may be used to develop promising panels of DNA Methylation biomarkers for oropharyngeal screening and detection at a very early stage.
Project description:We genotyped 45 new samples from 4 populations of Northwest India and combined it with previously published data to characterize the population structure of modern Northwest Indian populations in the context of their geographic neighbors across South Asia and West Eurasia.
Project description:We provide a comparative transcriptomics analysis between wild (red or Delhi) and modified (orange or hybrid) carrot roots available in India.
