Human brain harbors single nucleotide somatic variations in functionally relevant genes possibly mediated by oxidative stress (2016)
Journal Article
Sharma, A., Ansan, A., Kumari, R., Pandey, R., Rehman, R., Mehani, B., …Mukhopadhyay, A. (2017). Human brain harbors single nucleotide somatic variations in functionally relevant genes possibly mediated by oxidative stress. F1000Research, 5, 2520. https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.9495.3

Somatic variation in DNA can cause cells to deviate from the preordained genomic path in both disease and healthy conditions. Here, using exome sequencing of paired tissue samples, we show that the normal human brain harbors somatic single base va...

Genetic association and stress mediated down-regulation in trabecular meshwork implicates MPP7 as a novel candidate gene in primary open angle glaucoma (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Glaucoma is the largest cause of irreversible blindness affecting more than 60 million people globally. The disease is defined as a gradual loss of peripheral vision due to death of Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGC). The RGC death is largely...
