ICR142 Benchmarker: evaluating, optimising and benchmarking variant calling performance using the ICR142 NGS validation series.
(2018-01)Evaluating, optimising and benchmarking of next generation sequencing (NGS) variant calling performance are essential requirements for clinical, commercial and academic NGS pipelines. Such assessments should be performed ... -
Identification and Characterization of Novel Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase 2 Inhibitors Using Structural Similarity Analysis.
(AMER SOC PHARMACOLOGY EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS, 2018-05-01)Receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIP2 or RICK, herein referred to as RIPK2) is linked to the pathogen pathway that activates nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB) and autophagic activation. ... -
Identification of 12 new susceptibility loci for different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-05-01)To identify common alleles associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we pooled data from multiple genome-wide genotyping projects totaling 25,509 EOC cases and 40,941 controls. We identified ... -
Identification of 19 new risk loci and potential regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumor.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-07-01)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed understanding of susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. Here we report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis ... -
Identification of a Molecularly-Defined Subset of Breast and Ovarian Cancer Models that Respond to WEE1 or ATR Inhibition, Overcoming PARP Inhibitor Resistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-10-14)PURPOSE: PARP inhibitors (PARPi) induce synthetic lethality in homologous recombination repair (HRR)-deficient tumors and are used to treat breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. Multiple PARPi resistance ... -
Identification of four novel susceptibility loci for oestrogen receptor negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-04-27)Common variants in 94 loci have been associated with breast cancer including 15 loci with genome-wide significant associations (P<5 × 10(-8)) with oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer and BRCA1-associated breast ... -
Identification of genes that promote PI3K pathway activation and prostate tumour formation.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2024-06-10)We have performed a functional in vivo mutagenesis screen to identify genes that, when altered, cooperate with a heterozygous Pten mutation to promote prostate tumour formation. Two genes, Bzw2 and Eif5a2, which have been ... -
Identification of genetic determinants of ATR inhibitor sensitivity in ARID1A mutant ovarian clear cell carcinoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-01-23)Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a gynaecological cancer of unmet need characterized by ARID1A and PPP2R1A mutations. Prior work identified a synthetic lethality between ARID1A tumour suppressor mutations in OCCC and ... -
Identification of highly penetrant Rb-related synthetic lethal interactions in triple negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-25)Although defects in the RB1 tumour suppressor are one of the more common driver alterations found in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), therapeutic approaches that exploit this have not been identified. By integrating ... -
Identification of independent association signals and putative functional variants for breast cancer risk through fine-scale mapping of the 12p11 locus.
(BMC, 2016-06-21)BACKGROUND: Multiple recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs10771399, at 12p11 that is associated with breast cancer risk. METHOD: We performed a fine-scale ... -
Identification of multiple risk loci and regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to multiple myeloma.
(2018-09-13)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of susceptibility to multiple myeloma (MM), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. We report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis with previous ... -
Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for endometrial cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-09)Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of the female reproductive tract in developed countries. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we have previously identified eight risk loci for endometrial ... -
Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for testicular cancer, including variants near DAZL and PRDM14.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-06-01)Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men and is notable for its high familial risks. So far, six loci associated with TGCT have been reported. From genome-wide association study (GWAS) ... -
Identification of novel targets for the treatment of endocrine-resistant breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)While endocrine therapy is an effective, well-tolerated treatment for oestrogen receptor positive (ER-positive) breast cancer, a large proportion of initial responders will develop hormone therapy resistance, and relapse. ... -
Identification of ten variants associated with risk of estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-12-01)Most common breast cancer susceptibility variants have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of predominantly estrogen receptor (ER)-positive disease. We conducted a GWAS using 21,468 ER-negative ... -
Identifying Genetic Dependencies in Cancer by Analyzing siRNA Screens in Tumor Cell Line Panels.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-01-01)Loss-of-function screening using RNA interference or CRISPR approaches can be used to identify genes that specific tumor cell lines depend upon for survival. By integrating the results from screens in multiple cell lines ... -
IL6/STAT3 Signaling Hijacks Estrogen Receptor α Enhancers to Drive Breast Cancer Metastasis.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-09-14)The cytokine interleukin-6 (IL6) and its downstream effector STAT3 constitute a key oncogenic pathway, which has been thought to be functionally connected to estrogen receptor α (ER) in breast cancer. We demonstrate that ... -
