is used in traditional medicine to treat cancer, as it contains flavonoids and phenols known to regulate key cellular processes associated with cancer. Breast cancer, the most common cancer among women globally, presents ongoing challenges in treatment. The discovery of mA methylation and its regulation by methylosome proteins offers novel therapeutic avenues for cancer management.

We searched for the prevalence of actionable somatic mutations in exon 2 of the gene in western Mexican patients with CRC. Tumor tissue DNA samples from 150 patients with sporadic CRC recruited at the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara were analyzed. Mutations in exon 2 of the gene were identified using Sanger sequencing, and the data were analyzed considering clinical-pathological characteristics.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the second cause of death by cancer around the world. Sporadic colorectal cancer is the most frequent (75%), and it is produced by the interaction of environmental, epigenetic, and genetic factors. The accumulation of single-nucleotide variants in genes associated with cell proliferation, DNA repair, and/or apoptosis could confer a risk to cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the occurrence of the BRAF p.V600E mutation in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from Western Mexico and compared it to rates in other Latin American and Caribbean countries.
  • In a sample of 101 CRC patients, the mutation was found in 4% of them, and no significant difference was noted in variant detection when compared to other populations, except for Chile.
  • The findings suggest that age and genetic background might influence the variation in p.V600E frequency across different populations, with an overall prevalence of 7.8% for Latin America and the Caribbean.

The present study aimed to analyze the methylation pattern of the family in the colorectal tissues and peripheral blood of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Previous informed consent, 102 samples of colorectal tissues (tumor and adjacent normal tissues) and 40 peripheral blood samples were collected from CRC patients. Additionally, we included a reference group of 40 blood samples.
