A Faculty Member from the Department of Biology Publishes a Global Study.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Zainab Nizar Jawad, a faculty member from the Department of Biology, published a study titled “Expression analysis of C-FOS and XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism in gastric cancer” in the journal Cellular and Molecular Biology.

The study aimed to explain why gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and that genetic and environmental factors are among the most prominent factors contributing to its development. This study examines the gene expression of the C-FOS gene and the Thr241Met mutation polymorphism in the XRCC3 gene in gastric cancer patients and healthy individuals, in an attempt to elucidate the behavior of these genes as potential molecular indicators of disease susceptibility.

The study highlights the importance of molecular and demographic analysis in risk assessment and early detection. It contributes to a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying gastric cancer and suggests the use of C-FOS and XRCC3 as potential clinical and epidemiological indicators.

The study found that increased C-FOS gene expression and the XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism are risk factors associated with gastric cancer, and that blood type and family history are additional factors.
