Liver Phenotypes of European Adults Heterozygous or Homozygous for Pi*Z Variant of AAT (Pi*MZ vs Pi*ZZ genotype) and Non-carriers

Homozygosity for the Pi*Z variant of the gene that encodes the alpha-1 antitrypsin peptide (AAT), called the Pi*ZZ genotype, causes a liver and lung disease called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Heterozygosity (the Pi*MZ genotype) is a risk factor for… Continue reading

A microRNA Signature Identifies Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients at Risk for Lymph Node Metastases

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) frequently metastasize to the lymph nodes; strategies are needed to identify patients at highest risk for lymph node metastases. We performed genome-wide expression profile analyses of PDAC specimens, collected… Continue reading
