Obesity in children is related to the development of cardiometabolic complications later in life, where molecular changes of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and skeletal muscle tissue (SMT) have been proven to be fundamental. The aim of this study is to unveil the gene expression architecture of both tissues in a cohort of Spanish boys with obesity, using a clustering method known as weighted gene co-expression network analysis. For this purpose, we have followed a multi-objective analytic pipeline consisting of three main approaches; identification of gene co-expression clusters associated with childhood obesity, individually in VAT and SMT (intra-tissue, approach I); identification of gene co-expression clusters associated with obesity-metabolic alterations, individually in VAT and SMT (intra-tissue, approach II); and identification of gene co-expression clusters associated with obesity-metabolic alterations simultaneously in VAT and SMT (inter-tissue, approach III).

Background: Somatic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) intracellular signalling pathways predict non-response to cetuximab in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (aCRC). We hypothesised that common germline variants within these pathways may also play similar roles.
Methods: We analysed 54 potentially functional, common, inherited EGFR pathway variants in 815 patients with aCRC treated with oxaliplatin-fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy plus cetuximab.
