CYP3A7*1C allele is associated with reduced levels of 2-hydroxylation pathway oestrogen metabolites.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-31)BACKGROUND: Endogenous sex hormones are well-established risk factors for breast cancer; the contribution of specific oestrogen metabolites (EMs) and/or ratios of specific EMs is less clear. We have previously identified ... -
CYP3A7*1C allele: linking premenopausal oestrone and progesterone levels with risk of hormone receptor-positive breast cancers.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-02-16)BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies provide strong evidence for a role of endogenous sex hormones in the aetiology of breast cancer. The aim of this analysis was to identify genetic variants that are associated with urinary ... -
DAISY: picking synthetic lethals from cancer genomes.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-08)A better understanding of genetic interactions in cancer might help identify new therapeutic approaches that exploit the concept of synthetic lethality. Ruppin and colleagues have developed a new computational method, ... -
De novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis is required for autophagosome membrane formation and maintenance during autophagy.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2020-06)UNLABELLED: Macroautophagy/autophagy can enable cancer cells to withstand cellular stress and maintain bioenergetic homeostasis by sequestering cellular components into newly formed double-membrane vesicles destined for ... -
De Novo Truncating Mutations in the Last and Penultimate Exons of PPM1D Cause an Intellectual Disability Syndrome.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-04-06)Intellectual disability (ID) is a highly heterogeneous disorder involving at least 600 genes, yet a genetic diagnosis remains elusive in ∼35%-40% of individuals with moderate to severe ID. Recent meta-analyses statistically ... -
Deep Learning Enables Individual Xenograft Cell Classification in Histological Images by Analysis of Contextual Features.
(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2021-06-01)Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDXs) are the preclinical models which best recapitulate inter- and intra-patient complexity of human breast malignancies, and are also emerging as useful tools to study the normal breast ... -
Defective ALC1 nucleosome remodeling confers PARPi sensitization and synthetic lethality with HRD.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-02-18)Chromatin is a barrier to efficient DNA repair, as it hinders access and processing of certain DNA lesions. ALC1/CHD1L is a nucleosome-remodeling enzyme that responds to DNA damage, but its precise function in DNA repair ... -
Deficiency of LKB1 in heart prevents ischemia-mediated activation of AMPK alpha 2 but not AMPK alpha 1
(2006-05)Deficiency of LKB1 in heart prevents ischemia-mediated activation of AMPK alpha 2 but not AMPK alpha 1 Recent studies indicate that the LKB1 is a key regulator of the AMP-activated protein kinase ( AMPK), which plays a ... -
Defining the role of SF3B1K700E mutations in ER+ breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)Mutations in SF3B1, a component of the RNA splicing machinery, underpin a number of aggressive cancers. Hotspot mutations in SF3B1 are present in around 3% of breast cancers, are enriched in oestrogen receptor positive ... -
Definitive study shows no association between ARID1A mutation status and clinical outcome in endometriosis-related ovarian cancers‡.
(WILEY, 2022-06-29)The ARID1A tumour suppressor protein is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, which is mutated in approximately 20% of all human cancers. ARID1A mutational status is considered to hold prognostic ... -
Design of SERENA-6, a phase III switching trial of camizestrant in ESR1-mutant breast cancer during first-line treatment.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2023-03-01)ESR1 mutation (ESR1m) is a frequent cause of acquired resistance to aromatase inhibitor (AI) plus cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i), which is a first-line therapy for hormone-receptor-positive (HR+)/human ... -
