Splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) is the largest component of SF3b protein complex which is involved in the pre-mRNA splicing mechanism. Somatic mutations of SF3B1 were shown to be associated with ...

Ovarian cancer is resistant to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment. Combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy is a promising strategy for ovarian cancer treatment benefit from an ...

A new proof-of-concept method reliably engineered a hotspot mutation of SF3B1, a gene-splicing gene, into diverse cancer cell lines, outperforming other contemporary editing approaches. Oncogenesis ...

Genetic mutations are the spark and fuel for cancer. Hundreds of DNA mutations have been linked to human cancers, and they’re easier than ever to find and catalog, thanks to new genomic technologies.

Researchers have identified a gene frequently mutated in myelodysplasia, one of the most common forms of blood cancer. Patients with a mutation in SF3B1 had a better overall chance of survival ...

A new, multicenter study led by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center determined how a single mutation in splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1), the most ...

INTRODUCTION Currently available prognostic factors determining the course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are not fully efficient, especially for newly diagnosed patients. Investigation of ...

RNA-sequencing has become a cornerstone in the study of gene expression, offering insights beyond mere mRNA transcript abundances. One area of increasing interest is alternative splicing, a process ...

When you can’t take down the kingpin, go after his accomplices. This strategy may work for cancer as well, according to scientists at Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer ...

Melanomas that develop in the eye often are fatal. Now, scientists report they have identified a mutated gene in melanoma tumors of the eye that appears to predict a good outcome. Melanomas that ...

A new study from researchers with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and collaborating organizations provides insight into the underlying ...
