Identification and expression analysis of novel LAGE-1 alleles with single nucleotide polymorphisms in cancer patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding region alleles of the X chromosomal LAGE-1 gene, and investigate the frequency of such SNPs in both cancer patients and healthy controls, and thus determine the potential significance of these SNPs with respect to cancer vaccine therapy.
methodsIn this study, different mRNAs transcribed from the LAGE-1 gene were identified by RT-PCR from healthy donors and cancer patients samples.
resultsA new LAGE-1 allele containing three coding region SNPs (69A/G, 317C/G, and 397T/G) were identified. The allele is highly expressed as the LAGE-1a mRNA variant AY679089 in some of the cancer patients. The three SNPs altered the LAGE-1 gene sequence to that of NYESO-1 at both the nucleotide and amino acid level.
conclusionThere is a high frequency of the LAGE-1 gene allele with SNPs in coding regions in cancer patients. There was a clear relationship between the variant AY679089 and gastric cancer. The SNPs may lead to accelerated progress of poorly differentiated gastric cancer. The SNPs found in these alleles may also alter the immunological characteristics of LAGE-1a and should be taken into account if this antigen is adopted as a cancer vaccine component.
