  • Patent number: 11473149
    Abstract: It has been discovered that the human GT198 gene (gene symbol PSMC3IP) at chromosome 17q21 acts as a tumor suppressor. The mutation of the GT198 gene causes the increased dominant negative splice variant activity and leads to the loss of wild type GT198 function, and in turn, induces breast and ovarian cancers. One embodiment provides compositions and methods for treating or alleviating one or more symptoms associated with cancer due to the GT198 gene mutations. Another embodiment provides methods and compositions for detecting cancer due to the mutation of the GT198 gene. Still another embodiment provides methods for identifying compounds, antibodies and natural product molecules that are useful for treating cancer due to the mutations of the GT198 gene. Preferably the disclosed compositions antagonize or interfere with the biological activity of splice variants of GT198.

  • Publication number: 20160174837
    Abstract: A method for measuring two pupils includes a number of steps. A first visible light beam and a first invisible light beam are emitted toward a right eye. A second visible light beam and a second invisible light beam are emitted toward a left eye. The light beams reflected from the right eye and the left eye are received by an optical unit, and the first invisible light beam and the second invisible light beam are guided to an imaging unit by the optical unit. Images of the right eye and the left eye are respectively recorded through the first invisible light and the second invisible light beam propagated from the optical unit.
