Cancer is one of the most deadly health problems worldwide. The recent report of the Indian Medical Research Council (ICMR) shows that the number of people living with this deadly illness continues to grow. The National Cancer Registry Program reports that every nine people in India are probably developing cancer during their lifetime, and 14,61 427 people are currently living with cancer. Since 2022, cancer increases by 12.8%.
Despite the great cancer disease, India was not sufficiently presented in world cancer studies. In the absence of genomic cancer architecture, which is distributed in India, specific genetic variants of Indian crayfish are insufficiently enthusiastic and catalog for any diagnostic kits and drug development.
To fill the gap in the genomic landscape for various cancers in India, Iit Madras He initiated the program of the genome of cancer in 2020. As part of this program 960 whole sequences Exome with 480 breast cancer Patients collected across the country have been completed.
IIT MADRAS in collaboration with Karkinos Healthcare, Mumbai, Chennai Breast Clinic and Cancer studies and relief, Chenai analyzed data and collected an anonymous resume genetic variants of breast cancer. This acquires value after tomorrow (February 4, 2025) provides World Cancer Day.
Professor V. Kamakoti, director of IIT MADRAS, announced the completion of the Indian breast cancer and released “The”Atlas of the Bharat River Genome‘(BCGA) on campus (February 3, 2025).
The Institute has made this database publicly available on bcga.iitm.ac.in for researchers and clinicians in India and abroad.
The highlighting of the benefits not only of India, but also the global research community with the “Bharata Cancer”, Professor V. Kamakoti, director of IIT MADRAS, said: “True,” IITM for all “commitments to society, we still release other data related to Health in the second academic year, these cancer genome after the brain will give a deep understanding of the causes, and help prevent the same with a routine laundry. Countries.
By providing this initiative, project coordinator Professor S. Mahaling, head, Cancer Perfect Center and Molecular Therapy, IIT MADRAS, said: “This database will be an invaluable resource to detect biomarkers concerning cancer in India, which will provide an opportunity in India, India, that will provide an opportunity that will provide an opportunity that will provide opportunities that will provide the cancer detection of breast cancer in addition. , characteristic of the population of India. “
In addition, Professor S. Mahaling, also a teacher of the Biotechnology Department, IIT MADRAS, added: “BCGA also seeks to accept data from researchers working on cancer genomes in different types High -risk groups, cancer tracking, design strategies for personalized treatment and understanding of treatment results. “
This genome atlas also provides knowledge of genetic basis of progression and cancer evolution and can help the biomedical research and health system in India go to the vision of “personalized medicine”, which can improve the standard of medical care, including genetic and molecular information in the process of clinical decisions .
The analysis was conducted under the auspices of the National Center for accurate medicine in the river, the initiative between IIT MADRAS and Karkinos Healthcare on accelerated interdisciplinary examination and the development of available cancer care solutions.
