Use of Whole Genome Sequencing for Diagnosis and Discovery in the Cancer Genetics Clinic.

EBioMedicine

Foley SB, Rios JJ, Mgbemena VE, Robinson LS, Hampel HL, Toland AE, Durham L, Ross TS.
PMID: 26023681
EBioMedicine. 2015 Jan;2(1):74-81. doi: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2014.12.003.

Despite the potential of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to improve patient diagnosis and care, the empirical value of WGS in the cancer genetics clinic is unknown. We performed WGS on members of two cohorts of cancer genetics patients: those with

Role of Diabetes Mellitus in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Review Article.

Cureus

Mgbemena O, Zhang Y, Velarde G.
PMID: 34926000
Cureus. 2021 Nov 09;13(11):e19398. doi: 10.7759/cureus.19398. eCollection 2021 Nov.

The pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is complex and poorly understood. There is a high prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in patients with HFpEF, and the presence of DM has been shown to increase mortality...

Prevalence of congenital malaria in minna, north central Nigeria.

Journal of tropical medicine

Omalu IC, Mgbemena C, Mgbemena A, Ayanwale V, Olayemi IK, Lateef A, Chukwuemeka VI.
PMID: 21876706

The study was designed to determine the true prevalence of congenital, cord, and placental malaria in General Hospital Minna, North Central Nigeria. Peripheral blood smears of near-term pregnant women, as well as the placental, cord, and peripheral blood smears...

Re-evaluating the role of BCR/ABL in chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Molecular & cellular oncology

Ross TS, Mgbemena VE.
PMID: 27308345
Mol Cell Oncol. 2014 Oct 29;1(3):e963450. doi: 10.4161/23723548.2014.963450. eCollection 2014.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) requires the BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase for disease onset and maintenance. As a result, CML can be successfully treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib. Most patients are maintained in a disease-suppressed state on...

Functional Interaction of BRCA1 and CREBBP in Murine Hematopoiesis.

iScience

Holmstrom SR, Wijayatunge R, McCrum K, Mgbemena VE, Ross TS.
PMID: 31499338
iScience. 2019 Sep 27;19:809-820. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2019.08.031. Epub 2019 Aug 26.

Both BRCA1 and CREBBP are tumor suppressor genes that are important for hematopoiesis. We have previously shown that mouse Brca1 is essential for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) viability. In contrast to Brca1 deficiency, which results in pancytopenia, we report...

Relationship between handgrip strength and lung function in adults: a systematic review.

Physiotherapy theory and practice

Mgbemena N, Jones A, Leicht AS.
PMID: 33870831
Physiother Theory Pract. 2021 Apr 18;1-20. doi: 10.1080/09593985.2021.1901323. Epub 2021 Apr 18.

Handgrip strength (HGS) is a functional test that has been directly associated with lung function in some healthy populations; however, inconsistent findings have been reported for populations with chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to identify the...

Genomic Fabric Remodeling in Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC): A New Paradigm and Proposal for a Personalized Gene Therapy Approach.
