Project description:This clinical trial studies disparities involving colorectal cancer prevention and screening in Black and underserved communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Black community is disproportionately impacted by colorectal cancer, with the highest rate of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. There are complex reasons behind these disparities, largely related to socioeconomic factors and healthcare access. Providing access to free, home-based fecal immunochemical testing (FIT), colorectal screening education, and appropriate follow-up to predominantly Black community-based organizations and underserved communities may help to close this gap.

Proteomic analysis of renal biomarkers of kidney allograft fibrosis – a study in renal transplant patients

Project description:Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment of end stage renal disease, but allograft survival is limited by development of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy in response to various stimuli. Much effort has been put into identifying new protein markers of fibrosis to support the diagnosis. In present work, we performed an in-depth quantitative proteomics analysis of allograft biopsies from 31 prevalent renal transplant patients and identified correlated the quantified proteins with the volume fraction of fibrosis as determined by a morphometric method. Linear regression analysis identified four proteins that were highly associated with the degree of interstitial fibrosis, namely Coagulation Factor XIII A chain (estimate 18.7, adjusted p<0.03), Uridine Phosphorylase 1 (estimate 19.4, adjusted p<0.001), Actin-related protein 2/3 subunit 2 (estimate 34.2, adjusted p<0.05) and Cytochrome C Oxidase Assembly Factor 6 homolog (estimate -44.9, adjusted p<0.002) even after multiple testing. Proteins that were negatively associated with fibrosis (p < 0.005) were primarily related to normal metabolic processes and respiration, whereas proteins that were positively associated with fibrosis (p < 0.005) were involved in catabolic processes, cytoskeleton organization and immune response. The identified proteins may be candidates for further validation with regards to renal fibrosis. The results support the notion that cytoskeleton organization and immune responses are prevalent processes in renal allograft fibrosis.

Rare renal tumours WGS

Project description:Rare renal tumours are by hard to classify and there is very little available information regarding prognosis and sensitivity to treatment. Here we endevour to understand their genomic properties in order to better understand their biology.
