  1. 1. Genetic factors in childhood cancer. Associations between tumors in childhood and adulthood, and prevalence of germline TP53 mutations

    Författare :Susanne Magnusson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood cancer; hereditary factors; breast cancer; survival; hereditary breast and ovarian cancer; hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer; familial malignant melanoma; BRCA1; BRCA2; mismatch repair; CDKN2A; familial risk; multiple childhood tumors; Li-Fraumeni syndrome; TP53; adrenocortical carcinoma; choroid plexus tumors; rhabdomyosarcoma;

    Sammanfattning : The etiology of childhood cancer is largely unknown. Approximately 1-10% of all childhood tumors are associated with known cancer predisposition syndromes. However, the contribution may be underestimated due to the failure to detect patients with genetic susceptibility for cancer when relying on known family pattern and anomalies. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic studies of neuroblastoma with emphasis on the apoptotic pathway

    Författare :Frida Abel; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :child; cancer; neuroectodermal; neural crest; loss of heterozygosity; LOH; bcl-2; mcl-1; apaf-1; caspase-2; caspase-3; caspase-9; PIN; DLC-1; caspase-2;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: The objective of this thesis was to find genes and chromosomal regions involved in neuroblastoma (NB) tumor progression. NB is a childhood tumor of the sympathetic nervous system that generally occurs spontaneously. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Preclinical investigation of novel therapies against neuroblastoma

    Författare :Karin Hansson; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Neuroblastoma; Translational research; Preclinical drug evaluation;

    Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumor of the sympathetic nervous system and the most common tumor form diagnosed in infants. Patients with aggressive tumors are treated intensely with multi-modal therapy including chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Methods for Analyzing Genomes

    Författare :Patrik L. Ståhl; Joakim Lundeberg; Ivo Gut; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; array; sequence capture; genotyping; trinucleotide threading; sequencing; massively parallel sequencing; single molecule sequencing; Visual DNA; p53; single nucleotide polymorphism; biomarker; Genetics; Genetik;

    Sammanfattning : The human genome reference sequence has given us a two‐dimensional blueprint of our inherited code of life, but we need to employ modern‐day technology to expand our knowledge into a third dimension. Inter‐individual and intra‐individual variation has been shown to be larger than anticipated, and the mode of genetic regulation more complex. LÄS MER
