Is polymorphism in the alpha cardiac muscle actin 1 gene associated to susceptibility to chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy?
Genetic variations at the ACTC1 gene may contribute to progression to chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy among T. cruzi-infected patients, possibly by modulating transcription factor binding to ACTC1 promoter regions.
Preoperative NLR, an inexpensive and readily available biomarker, can predict tumor relapse and should be assessed for implementation of tailored therapy in early stage colon cancer.
