PARK7's role in controlling oxidative stress linked to breast cancer risk: A multi-layered biological study

Updated

Abstract

PARK7 is identified as a key oxidative stress-related gene significantly associated with breast cancer risk.

  • Elevated expression and protein levels of PARK7 are associated with reduced breast cancer risk.
  • Significant associations with breast cancer were found for specific blood methylation sites, cg10385390 and cg11518359.
  • PARK7 showed significant associations in both gene expression and alternative splicing analyses related to breast cancer.
  • Multi-omics analysis revealed that plasma levels of PARK7 mRNA and protein were significantly lower in breast cancer patients compared to healthy controls.
  • Colocalization analysis supports the findings, indicating shared causal genetic variants related to oxidative stress and breast cancer.
