Resistance to paclitaxel is associated with a variant of the gene BCL2 in multiple tumor types
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC6478919
Evidence Type(s): Functional
Summary: Mutation: T > C | Summary: The T > C variant at location 21 of BCL2 alters its RNA secondary structure and is associated with significant increases in BCL2 expression levels and mRNA stability, indicating a change in molecular function. It also correlates with increased BCL2 transcript levels and may affect spatial expression patterns.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: C > T | Summary: The C > T change at location 21 in BCL2 alters molecular function by stabilizing the BCL2 RNA secondary structure in vitro and correlates with increased BCL2 transcript levels.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: + 21 T > C | Summary: The + 21 T > C variant is evaluated for its structural consequences and is hypothesized to lead to a more stable transcript, resulting in increased BCL2 protein levels, indicating a change in molecular function.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: + 23 C > T | Summary: The + 23 C > T variant shows an insignificant change in structure and does not significantly alter molecular function, although it was included in studies evaluating BCL2 expression.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: 21 T > C | Summary: The 21 T > C variant in BCL2 is associated with a significant increase in BCL2 mRNA levels and leads to a more stable transcript, indicating an alteration in molecular function.
