Proteome-wide association studies (PWAS) address gaps in post-transcriptional modifications that previous genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies could not capture. Zhao and colleagues conducted the first breast tissue-based PWAS and identified proteins associated with breast cancer risk, providing insights into the role of protein expression in breast cancer development.
全蛋白质组关联研究(PWAS)填补了先前全基因组和全转录组关联研究未能捕捉到的转录后修饰方面的空白。赵及其同事开展了首个基于乳腺组织的PWAS,并鉴定出与乳腺癌风险相关的蛋白质,为蛋白质表达在乳腺癌发展中的作用提供了见解。
