Pleiotropic Analysis of Lung Cancer and Blood Triglycerides.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2016-12-01)
Epidemiologically related traits may share genetic risk factors, and pleiotropic analysis could identify individual loci associated with these traits. Because of their shared epidemiological associations, we conducted ...
Association of breast cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers with genetic variants showing differential allelic expression: identification of a modifier of breast cancer risk at locus 11q22.3.
(SPRINGER, 2017-01-01)
PURPOSE: Cis-acting regulatory SNPs resulting in differential allelic expression (DAE) may, in part, explain the underlying phenotypic variation associated with many complex diseases. To investigate whether common variants ...
Prostate cancer risk regions at 8q24 and 17q24 are differentially associated with somatic TMPRSS2:ERG fusion status.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-12-15)
Molecular and epidemiological differences have been described between TMPRSS2:ERG fusion-positive and fusion-negative prostate cancer (PrCa). Assuming two molecularly distinct subtypes, we have examined 27 common PrCa risk ...
Proteomics profiling of interactome dynamics by colocalisation analysis (COLA).
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2016-12-20)
Localisation and protein function are intimately linked in eukaryotes, as proteins are localised to specific compartments where they come into proximity of other functionally relevant proteins. Significant co-localisation ...
Susceptibility loci of CNOT6 in the general mRNA degradation pathway and lung cancer risk-A re-analysis of eight GWASs.
(WILEY, 2017-04-01)
PURPOSE: mRNA degradation is an important regulatory step for controlling gene expression and cell functions. Genetic abnormalities involved in mRNA degradation genes were found to be associated with cancer risks. Therefore, ...
The Intracranial Distribution of Gliomas in Relation to Exposure From Mobile Phones: Analyses From the INTERPHONE Study.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2016-12-01)
When investigating the association between brain tumors and use of mobile telephones, accurate data on tumor position are essential, due to the highly localized absorption of energy in the human brain from the radio-frequency ...
Real-time 4D dose reconstruction for tracked dynamic MLC deliveries for lung SBRT.
(WILEY, 2016-11-01)
PURPOSE: This study provides a proof of concept for real-time 4D dose reconstruction for lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with multileaf collimator (MLC) tracking and assesses the impact of tumor tracking ...
A kernel-based dose calculation algorithm for kV photon beams with explicit handling of energy and material dependencies.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2017-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: Mimicking state-of-the-art patient radiotherapy with high-precision irradiators for small animals is expected to advance the understanding of dose-effect relationships and radiobiology in general. We work on the ...
Multiparametric Analysis of Cell Shape Demonstrates that β-PIX Directly Couples YAP Activation to Extracellular Matrix Adhesion.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-01-25)
Mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cellular geometry regulate the nuclear translocation of transcriptional regulators such as Yes-associated protein (YAP). Elucidating how physical signals control ...
SNP interaction pattern identifier (SIPI): an intensive search for SNP-SNP interaction patterns.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-03-15)
MOTIVATION: Testing SNP-SNP interactions is considered as a key for overcoming bottlenecks of genetic association studies. However, related statistical methods for testing SNP-SNP interactions are underdeveloped. RESULTS: ...
