An evaluation of the performance of HapMap SNP data in a Shanghai Chinese population: Analyses of allele frequency, linkage disequilibrium pattern and tagging SNPs transferability on chromosome Iq2I-q25
(2008-02)
Background: The HapMap project aimed to catalog millions of common single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs) in the human genome in four major populations, in order to facilitate association studies of complex diseases. To ...
Neuroblastoma in monozygotic twins - a case of probable twin to twin metastasis (vol 85, pg 493, 2001)
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2002-05-20)
Actin-myosin-based contraction is responsible for apoptotic nuclear disintegration.
(2005-01)
Membrane blebbing during the apoptotic execution phase results from caspase-mediated cleavage and activation of ROCK I. Here, we show that ROCK activity, myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, MLC ATPase activity, and ...
A novel diffuse gastric cancer susceptibility variant in E-cadherin (CDH1) intron 2: A case control study in an Italian population
(2008-05)
Background: Inherited genetic factors such as E-cadherin (CDH1) promoter variants are believed to influence the risk towards sporadic diffuse gastric cancer (DGC). Recently, a new regulatory region essential for CDH1 ...
Population screening for colorectal cancer: the implications of an ageing population
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2008-12-09)
Population screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) has recently commenced in the United Kingdom supported by the evidence of a number of randomised trials and pilot studies. Certain factors are known to influence screening ...
Stabilisation of TG-and AG-containing antiparrallel DNA triplexes by triplex-binding ligands
(2001-05-01)
Stabilisation of TG-and AG-containing antiparrallel DNA triplexes by triplex-binding ligands. We have used DNase I footprinting to examine the interaction of several tripler-binding ligands with antiparallel TG- and AG- ...
Parallel RNAi screens across different cell lines identify generic and cell type-specific regulators of actin organization and cell morphology
(2009)
Background: In recent years RNAi screening has proven a powerful tool for dissecting gene functions in animal cells in culture. However, to date, most RNAi screens have been performed in a single cell line, and results ...
Concepts of epigenetics in prostate cancer development
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2009-01-22)
Substantial evidence now supports the view that epigenetic changes have a role in the development of human prostate cancer. Analyses of the patterns of epigenetic alteration are providing important insights into the origin ...
Translocation t(2;7)(p12;q21-22) with dysregulation of the CDK6 gene mapping to 7q21-22 in a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with leukemia
(2002-04)
Background and Objectives. A female patient presented with splenomegaly and lymphocytosis with atypical lymphoid cell morphology, We identified t(2;7)(p12;q21) prompting studies of the translocation breakpoint and its ...
A mutation in the Gsk3-binding domain of zebrafish Masterblind/Axin1 leads to a fate transformation of telencephalon and eyes to diencephalon
(2001-06-01)
Zebrafish embryos homozygous for the masterblind (mb1) mutation exhibit a striking phenotype in which the eyes and telencephalon are reduced or absent and diencephalic fates expand to the front of the brain. Here we show ...
