The effect of sample size on polygenic hazard models for prostate cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-01)
We determined the effect of sample size on performance of polygenic hazard score (PHS) models in prostate cancer. Age and genotypes were obtained for 40,861 men from the PRACTICAL consortium. The dataset included 201,590 ...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen expression in melanoma metastases.
(WILEY, 2020-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a prostatic epithelial protein that is used as a radiotracer (68Ga-PSMA-11) for prostate cancer staging. PSMA-PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) ...
Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Ovary and Fallopian Tube: Rare Neoplasms Associated With Germline and Somatic DICER1 Mutations.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-06-01)
DICER1 mutations (somatic or germline) are associated with a variety of uncommon neoplasms including cervical and genitourinary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). We report a primary ovarian and 2 primary fallopian tube ...
Prostate Cancer Risk by BRCA2 Genomic Regions.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-10-01)
A BRCA2 prostate cancer cluster region (PCCR) was recently proposed (c.7914 to 3') wherein pathogenic variants (PVs) are associated with higher prostate cancer (PCa) risk than PVs elsewhere in the BRCA2 gene. Using a ...
Identification of Novel Susceptibility Loci and Genes for Prostate Cancer Risk: A Transcriptome-Wide Association Study in Over 140,000 European Descendants.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-07-01)
Genome-wide association study-identified prostate cancer risk variants explain only a relatively small fraction of its familial relative risk, and the genes responsible for many of these identified associations remain ...
Combination Lenalidomide and Azacitidine: A Novel Salvage Therapy in Patients Who Relapse After Allogeneic Stem-Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2019-03-01)
PURPOSE: Salvage options for patients who relapse after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplasia (MDS) remain limited, and novel treatment strategies are required. ...
Landscape of the Plasmodium Interactome Reveals Both Conserved and Species-Specific Functionality.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-08-06)
Malaria represents a major global health issue, and the identification of new intervention targets remains an urgent priority. This search is hampered by more than one-third of the genes of malaria-causing Plasmodium ...
Hotspot SF3B1 mutations induce metabolic reprogramming and vulnerability to serine deprivation.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2019-08-08)
Cancer-associated mutations in the spliceosome gene SF3B1 create a neomorphic protein that produces aberrant mRNA splicing in hundreds of genes, but the ensuing biologic and therapeutic consequences of this missplicing are ...
Structural and functional characterisation of human RNA helicase DHX8 provides insights into the mechanism of RNA-stimulated ADP release.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2019-09-13)
DHX8 is a crucial DEAH-box RNA helicase involved in splicing and required for the release of mature mRNA from the spliceosome. Here, we report the biochemical characterisation of full-length human DHX8 and the catalytically ...
In Vivo Modeling of Chemoresistant Neuroblastoma Provides New Insights into Chemorefractory Disease and Metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that is frequently metastatic and resistant to conventional treatment. In part, a lack of natively metastatic, chemoresistant in vivo models has limited our insight into the development ...
