By integrating single-cell RNA-seq data from 12 clinical lung adenocarcinoma samples, 22 subpopulations of lung adenocarcinoma cells were identified. This study not only confirmed that the cellular heterogeneity of lung adenocarcinoma is associated with EGFR inhibitor resistance, but also cell subpopulations with EGFR inhibitor resistance properties, such as cluster6, may be closely related to tumor malignancy, suggesting that the study focusing on EGFR inhibitor resistant subpopulations will help to find suitable strategies to overcome EGFR inhibitor resistance.","PeriodicalId":54956,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139290851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, several genetic studies suggest the contribution of various genetic variants in the possible aetiology of AIS. This review summarises the genetic association studies, including linkage, candidate as well as genome-wide association studies that were carried out globally on AIS and also categorised the associated genes in different biological pathways such as neurodevelopmental, hormone-related, cartilage and bone development pathways, based on their potential functional roles in the respective pathway, to understand the pathology of the disorder.","PeriodicalId":54956,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139291012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
