Signatures of TOP1 transcription-associated mutagenesis in cancer and germline.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-24)
The mutational landscape is shaped by many processes. Genic regions are vulnerable to mutation but are preferentially protected by transcription-coupled repair1. In microorganisms, transcription has been demonstrated to ...
Association of the CHEK2 c.1100delC variant, radiotherapy, and systemic treatment with contralateral breast cancer risk and breast cancer-specific survival.
(WILEY, 2023-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) patients with a germline CHEK2 c.1100delC variant have an increased risk of contralateral BC (CBC) and worse BC-specific survival (BCSS) compared to non-carriers. AIM: To assessed the ...
Evaluation of European-based polygenic risk score for breast cancer in Ashkenazi Jewish women in Israel.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2023-11-27)
BACKGROUND: Polygenic risk score (PRS), calculated based on genome-wide association studies (GWASs), can improve breast cancer (BC) risk assessment. To date, most BC GWASs have been performed in individuals of European ...
The Association between Acute and Late Genitourinary and Gastrointestinal Toxicities: An Analysis of the PACE B Study.
(MDPI, 2023-02-17)
Several studies have demonstrated the association between acute and late radiotherapy toxicity in prostate cancer using older radiotherapy techniques. However, whether this association is present with newer techniques such ...
The Fraction Size Sensitivity of Late Genitourinary Toxicity: Analysis of Alpha/Beta (α/β) Ratios in the CHHiP Trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-02-01)
PURPOSE: Moderately hypofractionated external beam intensity modulated radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer is now standard-of-care. Normal tissue toxicity responses to fraction size alteration are nonlinear: the ...
Fine-mapping of 150 breast cancer risk regions identifies 191 likely target genes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-07)
Genome-wide association studies have identified breast cancer risk variants in over 150 genomic regions, but the mechanisms underlying risk remain largely unknown. These regions were explored by combining association ...
Assessment of polygenic architecture and risk prediction based on common variants across fourteen cancers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-07-03)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the identification of hundreds of susceptibility loci across cancers, but the impact of further studies remains uncertain. Here we analyse summary-level data from GWAS of ...
Myst2/Kat7 histone acetyltransferase interaction proteomics reveals tumour-suppressor Niam as a novel binding partner in embryonic stem cells.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-08-15)
MYST histone acetyltransferases have crucial functions in transcription, replication and DNA repair and are hence implicated in development and cancer. Here we characterise Myst2/Kat7/Hbo1 protein interactions in mouse ...
Heterogeneity in global gene expression profiles between biopsy specimens taken peri-surgically from primary ER-positive breast carcinomas.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2016-04-01)
BACKGROUND: Gene expression is widely used for the characterisation of breast cancers. Variability due to tissue heterogeneity or measurement error or systematic change due to peri-surgical procedures can affect measurements ...
Serum testosterone and prostate cancer in men with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants.
(WILEY, 2023-05-01)
OBJECTIVES: The relation of serum androgens and the development of prostate cancer (PCa) is subject of debate. Lower total testosterone (TT) levels have been associated with increased PCa detection and worse pathological ...
