  1. 1. Of Mice and MYC : Modelling Medulloblastoma

    Författare :Oliver Mainwaring; Fredrik J. Swartling; Charles Eberhart; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medulloblastoma; MYC; Group 3; Cdkn2a; ARF; HSP90; Chromosome 17q; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer-related paediatric deaths, with medulloblastoma (MB) being the most common malignant paediatric brain tumour. MB is stratified into four major subgroups – WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4, nomenclature defined by key pathways and drivers involved within each subgroup. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Understanding the role of long non-coding RNAs in neuroblastoma development and progression

    Författare :Sanhita Mitra; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroblastoma; Long non-coding RNAs; NBAT1; NRSF REST; CASC15; chromosome 6p22; SOX9; USP36; CHD7; p53; CRM1; MDM2;

    Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma (NB), a common cancer of childhood, contributes to 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. The improper neuronal differentiation of neural crest cells to mature neurons in the sympathetic nervous system leads to NB tumor formation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Endocrine tumour development : with special focus on chromosome arms 1p and 11q

    Författare :Brita Nord; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Endocrine tumour; Follicular thyroid tumour; Malignant melanoma; Midgut carcinoid; Pheochromocytoma; Abdominal paraganglioma; Merkel cell carcinoma; MEN1; SDHD; RIZ;

    Sammanfattning : The overall goal of this thesis has been to characterise the involvement of chromosome arms 1p and 11 q in the development of endocrine tumours. The MEN1 gene was analysed as a candidate tumour suppressor gene by screening for mutations in follicular thyroid tumours, malignant melanomas, pheochromocytomas, and abdominal paragangliomas.

  5. 4. Genetic susceptibility to psoriasis in Sweden

    Författare :Fredrik Enlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CD80; CD86; joint complaints; linkage analysis; NPL; psoriasis; TDT; chromosome region 3q21;

    Sammanfattning : A common skin disease affecting about 2-3% of the population, psoriasis has an inheritance pattern that is unclear, but most probably many genes are involved in its pathogenesis. Other studies have suggested many susceptibility regions in the genome, but as yet independent studies have replicated only some of these regions located on chromosome 1q, 6p and 17q. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genetic characterization of non-Hodgkin lymphomas using in situ hybridization

    Författare :Svetlana Lagercrantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Myelodysplastic syndrome; non-Hodgkin lymphoma; fluorescencein situ hybridization; LAZ3BCL6 expression; chromosome rearrangements;

    Sammanfattning : Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been shown to be a valuable and important technique in cytogenetics, as a complement to traditional banding analysis. This thesis focus on the characterization of chromosomal rearrangements in two hematological neoplasias, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) using FISH. LÄS MER
