Determinants of anti-PD-1 response and resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-11-08)
ADAPTeR is a prospective, phase II study of nivolumab (anti-PD-1) in 15 treatment-naive patients (115 multiregion tumor samples) with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) aiming to understand the mechanism ...
Functional annotation of the 2q35 breast cancer risk locus implicates a structural variant in influencing activity of a long-range enhancer element.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-07-01)
A combination of genetic and functional approaches has identified three independent breast cancer risk loci at 2q35. A recent fine-scale mapping analysis to refine these associations resulted in 1 (signal 1), 5 (signal 2), ...
Aggregation tests identify new gene associations with breast cancer in populations with diverse ancestry.
(BMC, 2023-01-26)
BACKGROUND: Low-frequency variants play an important role in breast cancer (BC) susceptibility. Gene-based methods can increase power by combining multiple variants in the same gene and help identify target genes. METHODS: ...
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 ...
