Human genome research has had an important impact on healthcare since it was first announced to be completed in 2003. As the clinical use of genetic and genomic testing increases, it is leading personalized medicine approaches. The effective use of genetic and genomic data in clinic requires careful management of the data, especially addressing the security, privacy and confidentiality issues. Personalize health record (PHR) systems on online and mobile platforms have the potential to cover these concerns as it will require participation of individuals to the management of their own health data. In order to determine the essential design components of a PHR, which can manage genetic and genomic data along with other medical records and healthcare data, we have applied participatory design strategy. PD involves stakeholders, end-users and the team into the design process in order to help ensure that the end-product meets the needs of users.

Selection of representative SNP sets for genome-wide association studies: a metaheuristic approach
Ustunkar, Gurkan; AKYÜZ, SÜREYYA; Weber, Gerhard W.; Friedrich, Christoph M.; Aydın Son, Yeşim (2012-08-01)
After the completion of Human Genome Project in 2003, it is now possible to associate genetic variations in the human genome with common and complex diseases. The current challenge now is to utilize the genomic data efficiently and to develop tools to improve our understanding of etiology of complex diseases. Many of the algorithms needed to deal with this task were originally developed in management science and operations research (OR). One application is to select a subset of the Single Nucleotide Polymor...
Computational approaches leveraging integrated connections of multi-omic data toward clinical applications
Demirel, Habibe Cansu; Tunçbağ, Nurcan (2021-10-01)
In line with the advances in high-throughput technologies, multiple omic datasets have accumulated to study biological systems and diseases coherently. No single omics data type is capable of fully representing cellular activity. The complexity of the biological processes arises from the interactions between omic entities such as genes, proteins, and metabolites. Therefore, multi-omic data integration is crucial but challenging. The impact of the molecular alterations in multi-omic data is not local in the ...
Evaluation of methylation profiles of an epidermal growth factor receptor gene in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patient group
Mutlu, M.; Mutlu, Pelin; Azarkan, S.; Baylr, Ö.; Öcal, B.; Saylam, G.; KORKMAZ, MEHMET HAKAN (2021-03-23)
Upregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene has shown an important impact on the development of head and neck cancers due to its important regulation role on multiple cell signaling pathways. The aim of this study was to investigate the methylation pattern of the promoter region of the EGFR gene between head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients and a control group. Forty-seven unrelated HNSCC patients, clinically diagnosed at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Dlşkapl Y...
Differential gene expression analysis in drug resistant multiple myeloma cell lines
Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2009)
The emergence of drug-resistance of tumor cells is a major complication for succesful chemotherapy. In this study, the molecular mechanisms of resistance to prednisone, vincristine and melphalan in multiple myeloma cell lines, RPMI-8226 and U-266 were investigated. Drug resistance was induced by application of the drugs by stepwise dose increments and confirmed by XTT cytotoxicity assay. Gene expression analysis demostrated that MDR1 gene is one of the most important factor causing the multidrug resistance ...
Multidimensional approach to link between trust and health before and after COVID-19: Nationwide investigations based on social capital theory
TOSYALI, AHMET FURKAN; Öner Özkan, Bengi; Harma, Mehmet; Department of Psychology (2022-5)
The current research was part of a larger project, funded by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), examining the link between psychosocial factors and health-related outcomes. A pilot study showed that the items could adequately be used, and bivariate relationships were consistent with the hypotheses. In Study 1, the hypotheses were examined in a representative sample of the Turkish population. Bonding and linking aspects were positively related to SRH; however, bridging asp...
