Lineage-Independent Tumors in Bilateral Neuroblastoma.
(2020-11)
Childhood tumors that occur synchronously in different anatomical sites usually represent metastatic disease. However, such tumors can be independent neoplasms. We investigated whether cases of bilateral neuroblastoma ...
Eye on the B-ALL: B-cell receptor repertoires reveal persistence of numerous B-lymphoblastic leukemia subclones from diagnosis to relapse.
(2016-12)
The strongest predictor of relapse in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the level of persistence of tumor cells after initial therapy. The high mutation rate of the B-cell receptor (BCR) locus allows high-resolution ...
Development of synchronous VHL syndrome tumors reveals contingencies and constraints to tumor evolution.
(BMC, 2014-08-27)
BACKGROUND: Genomic analysis of multi-focal renal cell carcinomas from an individual with a germline VHL mutation offers a unique opportunity to study tumor evolution. RESULTS: We perform whole exome sequencing on four ...
Overexpression of MYB drives proliferation of CYLD-defective cylindroma cells.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-06-01)
Cutaneous cylindroma is an adnexal tumour with apocrine differentiation. A predisposition to multiple cylindromas is seen in patients with Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, who carry germline mutations in the tumour suppressor ...
Genomic profile of advanced breast cancer in circulating tumour DNA.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-04-23)
The genomics of advanced breast cancer (ABC) has been described through tumour tissue biopsy sequencing, although these approaches are limited by geographical and temporal heterogeneity. Here we use plasma circulating ...
Three-dimensional modelling identifies novel genetic dependencies associated with breast cancer progression in the isogenic MCF10 model.
(WILEY, 2016-11-01)
The initiation and progression of breast cancer from the transformation of the normal epithelium to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive disease is a complex process involving the acquisition of genetic alterations ...
A genome-wide association study identifies risk loci for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 10q26.13 and 12q23.1.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have shown that common genetic variation contributes to the heritable risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To identify new susceptibility loci for the largest subtype ...
Recurrent MET fusion genes represent a drug target in pediatric glioblastoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-11-01)
Pediatric glioblastoma is one of the most common and most deadly brain tumors in childhood. Using an integrative genetic analysis of 53 pediatric glioblastomas and five in vitro model systems, we identified previously ...
Deterministic Evolutionary Trajectories Influence Primary Tumor Growth: TRACERx Renal.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-04-19)
The evolutionary features of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been systematically studied to date. We analyzed 1,206 primary tumor regions from 101 patients recruited into the multi-center prospective study, ...
