Mutation screening of ACKR3 and COPS8 in kidney cancer cases from the CONFIRM study
(SPRINGER, 2017-07-01)
An apparently balanced t(2;3)(q37.3;q13.2) translocation that appears to segregate with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has indicated potential areas to search for the elusive genetic basis of clear cell RCC. We applied Hi-Plex ...
Pathways to malaria persistence in remote central Vietnam: a mixed-method study of health care and the community
(BMC, 2009-03-23)
BACKGROUND: There is increasing interest in underlying socio-cultural, economic, environmental and health-system influences on the persistence of malaria. Vietnam is a Mekong regional 'success story' after dramatic declines ...
Frequent mutations in chromatin-remodelling genes in pulmonary carcinoids
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-03-01)
Pulmonary carcinoids are rare neuroendocrine tumours of the lung. The molecular alterations underlying the pathogenesis of these tumours have not been systematically studied so far. Here we perform gene copy number analysis ...

Fine resolution mapping of double-strand break sites for human ribosomal DNA units
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-12-01)
DNA breakage arises during a variety of biological processes, including transcription, replication and genome rearrangements. In the context of disease, extensive fragmentation of DNA has been described in cancer cells and ...
Atoh1 gene therapy in the cochlea for hair cell regeneration.
(2015-03)
INTRODUCTION: The sensory epithelium of the cochlea is a complex structure containing hair cells, supporting cells and auditory nerve endings, all of which degenerate after hearing loss in mammals. Biological approaches ...
Epigenome-wide methylation in DNA from peripheral blood as a marker of risk for breast cancer
(SPRINGER, 2014-12-01)
Aberrant DNA methylation is a key feature of breast carcinoma. We aimed to test the association between breast cancer risk and epigenome-wide methylation in DNA from peripheral blood. Nested case-control study within the ...
