The present study mainly focused on identifying genotypic variants and proteomic mutations, along with the folding rate and virulence action of Turkey SARS-CoV-2 isolates. The phylogenomic study reveals that the first origination of SARS-CoV-2 isolates (2020) in Turkey has more chance of an occurrence of mutation rate during evolution/new origination. 53 genotypic- and 45 proteomic variants among 83 isolates were found. The genotypic and proteomic variants from 2022 isolates have six times higher mutation rates than 2020 isolates. The highest number of mutations occurred in the 2022 isolate (ERAGEM-OM-1104/2022), with 60 mutations in the G53 variant, followed by 44 mutations in the G49 variant (ERAGEM-DEL-1103/2021) and 42 mutations in the G50 variant (Ank_DLT/2021). Also, we identified 38 novel mutations among 45 proteomic variants. The predicted virulence mechanism of some ORFs such as Nsp1, Nsp3, Nsp4, Nsp5, Nsp8, 2′O-ribose, Spike, Orf3a, Envelope, Orf7b, Orf8, and Nucleocapsid shows high virulence and transmission rate.

Most ovarian malignancies, or 90% of cases, are epithelial ovarian cancers. HGSC (High Grade Ovarian Cancer) is the most prevalent subtype, and the majority of women who are diagnosed with it eventually develop resistance to standard treatments. Expression of genes linked to these immune pathways and increased cytotoxic immune cell infiltration is primarily associated with HGSC cancer that shows DNA damage repair gene deficiency and high chromosomal instability. Currently, chemotherapy, radiation, and cytoreduction are the most common forms of treatment; nevertheless, in the absence of targeted therapies, patients experience unfavorable side effects and develop drug resistance. It is critical to understand the intricate biology of the disease and find relevant biomarkers in order to make an early diagnosis or anticipate how a patient will respond to a given treatment. Interferon activating medicines have been studied as a potential means of enhancing anti-tumor immunity in ovarian cancer. Chemical and biological nano-sensors have also been developed to detect different types of cancers, including ovarian cancer. Further, the application of nanotechnology for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes makes it a more convenient, target-specific, and side effect free delivery system for ovarian cancer treatment. A combination of nanotechnology with the physiological biomarkers and therapeutic agents created a novel system of nano theranostics, which have the potential of real-time monitoring and diagnosis and simultaneous delivery of the therapeutic agent for the treatment of ovarian cancer.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100914,"journal":{"name":"Medicine in Omics","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50195101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
