Research Methods Poster Session 2023
Objective: To examine the impacts of genetic screening on the treatment of breast cancer, in relation to differences, outcomes and decisions in treatment plans or surgery in patients that performed genetic screening versus those that did not.
Background: Genetic screening technology has become commercially available, yet standard preventative care for breast cancer has no genetic screening involved. Genetic screening in breast cancer treatment is performed, but its usage is not standardized.
Methods: Findings were synthesized using the meta-narrative review style to examine articles retrieved from searches of digital databases PubMed and the M.D. Anderson Scholarly Library.
Discussion: Articles were selected …

A region on chromosome 21, the Down Syndrome critical region (DSCR), is associated with major defects found in Down Syndrome, such as craniofacial malformations. DYRK1A is a gene found on chromosome 21 within the DSCR that encodes an enzyme, dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A. DYRK1A is known to phosphorylate many substrate proteins and is thought to be involved in tumor suppression, neurological development, cell cycle regulation, and aging. Recently, the Litovchick lab and others reported that DYRK1A also plays a role in the double-strand break repair of DNA, which could lead to mutations and tumorigenesis, if deregulated.
The Litovchick lab …

INTRODUCTION
Women who carry BRCA1/2 mutations are at significantly increased risk of breast, ovarian, pancreatic and other cancer. Little is known regarding the use of dietary supplements among women harboring BRCA1/2 mutations. This study aims to characterize the utilization of and attitudes toward dietary supplement use in women who carry BRCA1/2 mutations.

TP73 is a member of the TP53 family of proteins that acts as a transcription factor to help regulate cellular distress. This tumor protein may play a dual role as a tumor suppressor and tumor promoter. The TP73 gene is mapped to chromosome 1p36, a frequently deleted region in neuroblastoma and other types of tumors. While mutations in the TP53 gene are commonly known to cause noxious cancers, 30% of cancers …

Title: The Metabolism of Alcohol: Risk and Protective Factors
Background: In 2002, it was reported by the National Institutes of Health that
60.3% of college aged students (18-22) drank alcohol in the past month of being
asked, as compared to 51.9% of those not in college. They also found that 20% of
college students met the criteria for at least one alcohol use disorder (AUDs)1.
Many genes have been linked to an increased risk for AUDs and how individuals
with various ethnic backgrounds respond to alcohol. …
