ANX7, a candidate tumor suppressor gene for prostate cancer

Srivastava, Meera, Bubendorf, Lukas, Srikantan, Vasantha, Fossom, Linda, Nolan, Lisa, Glasman, Mirta, ...

The ANX7 gene is located on human chromosome 10q21, a site long hypothesized to harbor a tumor suppressor gene(s) (TSG) associated with prostate and other cancers. To test whether ANX7 might be a...

Comprehensive copy number and gene expression profiling of the 17q23 amplicon in human breast cancer

Monni, Outi, Bärlund, Maarit, Mousses, Spyro, Kononen, Juha, Sauter, Guido, Heiskanen, Mervi, ...

The biological significance of DNA amplification in cancer is thought to be due to the selection of increased expression of a single or few important genes. However, systematic surveys of the copy...

A CHEK2 Genetic Variant Contributing to a Substantial Fraction of Familial Breast Cancer

Vahteristo, Pia, Bartkova, Jirina, Eerola, Hannaleena, Syrjäkoski, Kirsi, Ojala, Salla, Kilpivaara, Outi, ...

CHEK2 (previously known as “CHK2”) is a cell-cycle–checkpoint kinase that phosphorylates p53 and BRCA1 in response to DNA damage. A protein-truncating mutation, 1100delC in exon 10, which...

High-Throughput Tissue Microarray Analysis to Evaluate Genes Uncovered by cDNA Microarray Screening in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Moch, Holger, Schraml, Peter, Bubendorf, Lukas, Mirlacher, Martina, Kononen, Juha, Gasser, Thomas, ...

Many genes and signaling pathways are involved in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development. However, genetic tumor markers have not gained use in RCC diagnostics and prognosis prediction....

High-Throughput Tissue Microarray Analysis of Cyclin E Gene Amplification and Overexpression in Urinary Bladder Cancer

Richter, Jan, Wagner, Urs, Kononen, Juha, Fijan, André, Bruderer, James, Schmid, Ulrico, ...

Studies by comparative genomic hybridization revealed that the 19q13 chromosomal region is frequently amplified in bladder cancer. The cyclin E gene (CCNE), coding for a regulatory subunit of...

CDKN2A Mutation Analysis, Protein Expression, and Deletion Mapping of Chromosome 9p in Conventional Clear-Cell Renal Carcinomas : Evidence for a Second Tumor Suppressor Gene Proximal to CDKN2A

Schraml, Peter, Struckmann, Kirsten, Bednar, Rudolf, Fu, Wenting, Gasser, Thomas, Wilber, Kim, ...

Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 9p is considered a critical event in renal cell carcinoma pathogenesis. Alterations of CDKN2A on 9p21 have been reported in renal cancer cell...

Tissue Microarrays for Rapid Linking of Molecular Changes to Clinical Endpoints

Torhorst, Joachim, Bucher, Christoph, Kononen, Juha, Haas, Philippe, Zuber, Markus, Köchli, Ossi R., ...

Advances in genomics and proteomics are dramatically increasing the need to evaluate large numbers of molecular targets for their diagnostic, predictive or prognostic value in clinical oncology....

High-Throughput Copy Number Analysis of 17q23 in 3520 Tissue Specimens by Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization to Tissue Microarrays

Andersen, Claus L., Monni, Outi, Wagner, Urs, Kononen, Juha, Bärlund, Maarit, Bucher, Christoph, ...

The chromosomal region 17q23 has been shown to be commonly amplified in breast tumors, especially those with poor prognosis. In addition to breast cancer, studies by comparative genomic hybridization...

Expression of Cytokeratins 17 and 5 Identifies a Group of Breast Carcinomas with Poor Clinical Outcome

Van De Rijn, Matt, Perou, Charles M., Tibshirani, Rob, Haas, Phillippe, Kallioniemi, Olli, Kononen, Juha, ...

While several prognostic factors have been identified in breast carcinoma, the clinical outcome remains hard to predict for individual patients. Better predictive markers are needed to help guide...
