Epigenetic Status of FBXW7 Gene and Its Role in Ovarian Cancer Pathogenesis
(2023)Background: Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis revealed that the FBXW7 gene and the long noncoding RNA (LINC01588) are potential candidates in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) pathogenesis. However, their exact ... -
Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Metastatic Breast Cancer in Omani Women
(2017-05-19)Abstract: Breast cancer (BC) in Oman affects younger women and has a more aggressive course. Clinical and biological variables like age, pregnancy, tumor size, type, grade, receptor expression and proliferation predict ... -
Establishing Protocol-based Dose Metrics for Common Abdomen and Pelvis Computed Tomography Protocols
(2023)Background: The majority of the existing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) that have been established for computed tomography (CT) are based on various anatomical locations, such as the head, chest, abdomen, etc. However, ... -

Estimating aspect ratio of the distal femur and proximal tibia in the Emirati population from MRI scans of the knee: a preliminary experience
(2023)Abstract: Size and shape of knee implants play an important role in the success of total knee arthroplasty. Several studies have identified anthropometric differences of the distal femur and proximal tibia between the ... -
Estimation of Anatomical Dimensions of the Thorax from Computed Tomography Images of the Adult and Pediatric Indian Population for Developing Optimal Radiological Protocols
(2021)Purpose: Ionizing radiation has been extensively used for medical diagnosis since its discovery in 1895; however, excessive use can lead to deleterious effects. Prior knowledge on radiological protocols based on ... -
Estrogen distinctly regulates transcription and translation of lncRNAs and pseudogenes in breast cancer cells
(2022-07)Abstract: Estrogen drives key transcriptional changes in breast cancer and stimulates breast cancer cells’ growth with multiple mechanisms to coordinate transcription and translation. In addition to protein-coding ... -
Ethnicity-Specific Features of COVID-19 Among Arabs, Africans, South Asians, East Asians, and Caucasians in the United Arab Emirates

Evaluating the impact of in silico predictors on clinical variant classification
(2021)Background: In silico evidence is important to consider when interpreting genetic variants. According to the ACMG/AMP, in silico evidence is applied at the supporting strength level using the PP3 and BP4 criteria, for ... -
Exact correction factor for estimating the OR in the presence of sparse data with a zero cell in 2 × 2 tables
(2023)Abstract: In case-control studies, odds ratios (OR) are calculated from 2 × 2 tables and in some instances, we observe small cell counts or zero counts in one of the cells. The corrections to calculate the ORs in the ... -
