Integrating germline and somatic genetics to identify genes associated with lung cancer
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Genetic Epidemiology"
DOI: 10.1002/gepi.22275
Abstract: Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified many genetic variants associated with complex traits. However, GWAS experience power issues, resulting in the failure to detect certain associated variants. Additionally, GWAS are often unable to parse… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ijc.30820
Abstract: In a proportion of patients presenting mismatch repair (MMR)‐deficient tumors, no germline MMR mutations are identified, the so‐called Lynch‐like syndrome (LLS). Recently, MMR‐deficient tumors have been associated with germline mutations in POLE and MUTYH or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pathol.2017.10.010
Abstract: Recognising hereditary predisposition in a cancer patient has implications both for the patient and the patient's kindred. For the latter, cascade germline testing can reassure those not-at-risk family members while carriers can be enrolled in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41391-024-00901-4
Abstract: Unfortunately, not all metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients receive available life-prolonging systemic therapies, emphasizing the need to optimize mCRPC treatment selections. Better guidelines are necessary to determine genetic testing in prostate cancer. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41523-021-00329-2
Abstract: Polymorphisms in the PER3 gene have been associated with several human disease phenotypes, including sleep disorders and cancer. In particular, the long allele of a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism has been previously… read more here.

Elucidation of the Genomic-Epigenomic Interaction Landscape of Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "BioMed Research International"
DOI: 10.1155/2021/6641429
Abstract: Background Majority of prostate cancer (PCa) deaths are attributed to localized high-grade aggressive tumours which progress rapidly to metastatic disease. A critical unmet need in clinical management of PCa is discovery and characterization of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.can-23-0152
Abstract: Studies of the inherited or germline genome have identified rare mutations with large effects and common polymorphisms of more modest effect sizes that are associated with cancer risk. This research has substantially illuminated the etiology… read more here.

Routine Plasma-Based Genotyping to Comprehensively Detect Germline, Somatic, and Reversion BRCA Mutations among Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors

DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-19-2933
Abstract: Purpose: PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are efficacious in multiple cancers harboring germline (and possibly somatic) BRCA1/2 mutations. Acquired reversions can restore BRCA1/2 function, causing resistance to PARPi and/or platinum-based chemotherapy. The optimal method of identifying patients… read more here.

Abstract: Background: HLA germline genotypes and somatic mutations show great promise as emerging biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and understanding patient prognosis. Multiple studies have shown that HLA homozygosity or loss-of-function somatic mutations negatively correlates… read more here.
