Class(y) Dissection of BRAF Heterogeneity: Beyond Non-V600.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-12-01)
Different classes of BRAF mutations are present in colorectal and other cancers. Non-V600 mutations are rare; however, their detection rate will increase as the use of next-generation sequencing ramps up quickly in clinical ...
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 ...
Molecular, Pathological, Radiological, and Immune Profiling of Non-brainstem Pediatric High-Grade Glioma from the HERBY Phase II Randomized Trial.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-05-14)
The HERBY trial was a phase II open-label, randomized, multicenter trial evaluating bevacizumab (BEV) in addition to temozolomide/radiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed non-brainstem high-grade glioma (HGG) between ...
E-Cadherin/ROS1 Inhibitor Synthetic Lethality in Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)
The cell adhesion glycoprotein E-cadherin (CDH1) is commonly inactivated in breast tumors. Precision medicine approaches that exploit this characteristic are not available. Using perturbation screens in breast tumor cells ...
Capture Hi-C identifies putative target genes at 33 breast cancer risk loci.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-03-12)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified approximately 100 breast cancer risk loci. Translating these findings into a greater understanding of the mechanisms that influence disease risk requires identification ...
Intratumoural evolutionary landscape of high-risk prostate cancer: the PROGENY study of genomic and immune parameters.
(ELSEVIER, 2017-10-01)
BACKGROUND: Intratumoural heterogeneity (ITH) is well recognised in prostate cancer (PC), but its role in high-risk disease is uncertain. A prospective, single-arm, translational study using targeted multiregion prostate ...
Comprehensive molecular characterisation of epilepsy-associated glioneuronal tumours.
(SPRINGER, 2018-01-01)
Glioneuronal tumours are an important cause of treatment-resistant epilepsy. Subtypes of tumour are often poorly discriminated by histological features and may be difficult to diagnose due to a lack of robust diagnostic ...
The role of RAS mutations in MLL-rearranged leukaemia: A path to intervention?
(ELSEVIER, 2017-12-01)
Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with MLL rearrangement (MLL-r) is an aggressive disease still associated with a high mortality rate. Recent investigations have identified co-operating mutations in the RAS ...
CardioClassifier: disease- and gene-specific computational decision support for clinical genome interpretation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-01)
PURPOSE: Internationally adopted variant interpretation guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) are generic and require disease-specific refinement. Here we developed CardioClassifier ...
Nothing in cancer makes sense except….
(BMC, 2018-02-21)
Paraphrasing Dobzhansky's famous dictum, I discuss how interrogating cancer through the lens of evolution has transformed our understanding of its development, causality and treatment resistance. The emerging picture of ...
