Proteomic signature for detection of high‐grade ovarian cancer in germline BRCA mutation carriers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Cancer"
DOI: 10.1002/ijc.34318
Abstract: No current screening methods for high‐grade ovarian cancer (HGOC) guarantee effective early detection for high‐risk women such as germline BRCA mutation carriers. Therefore, the standard‐of‐care remains risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) around age 40. Proximal liquid biopsy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10549-020-06070-x
Abstract: Germline BRCA1/2 mutation carriers (gBMC) face increased cancer risks that are modulated via non-genetic lifestyle factors whose underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. The peptides Neurotensin (NT) and Enkephalin (ENK)—involved in tumorigenesis and obesity-related diseases—are of… read more here.

Five-year prognostic significance of global longitudinal strain in individuals with a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy gene mutation without hypertrophic changes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Netherlands Heart Journal"
DOI: 10.1007/s12471-019-1226-5
Abstract: BackgroundPrevious studies have reported that global longitudinal strain (GLS) is reduced in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) while left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is normal. Our aim was to assess GLS in individuals with HCM… read more here.
