Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mohammed S. Orloff's research focuses on the genetic underpinnings of various hereditary cancer syndromes and related conditions. He has investigated germline mutations in genes such as PTEN, PIK3CA, and AKT1, which are associated with Cowden and Cowden-like syndromes. His work has explored the lifetime cancer risks and phenotypic heterogeneity observed in individuals carrying these mutations, including a focus on frequent gastrointestinal polyps and colorectal adenocarcinomas in PTEN mutation carriers.

Further research has examined germline mutations in succinate dehydrogenase genes and genes like MSR1, ASCC1, and CTHRC1 in patients with conditions such as Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Orloff also studies the upregulation of PARP1 in non-small cell lung cancer tissues in the presence of specific toxins. His scholarly output includes 131 publications with over 3,800 citations, contributing to a high-impact researcher designation. He leads a research group and collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, including Horacio Gómez-Acevedo, David W. Ussery, Yasir Rahmatallah, and Ebrahim Jakoet.
