  2. 1. Genetic characterization of malignant melanoma and breast cancer

    Author : Göran B Jönsson; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; Cytology; microarray; inherited breast cancer; Melanoma; linkage analysis; cancer; Cytologi; cancerology; onkologi;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma and breast cancer are common malignant diseases characterized by considerable heterogeneity with respect to genetics, histopathology, biology and clinical course. In breast cancer, two major susceptibility genes have been identified, BRCA1 and BRCA2, which account for a significant proportion of high-risk breast cancer families. READ MORE

  4. 2. DNA methylation and gene expression patterns in adrenal medullary tumors

    Author : Nimrod G B Kiss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pheochromocytomas and abdominal paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors of the autonomous nervous system, arising in adrenal medulla and sympathetic ganglia throughout the abdomen. These tumors originate from catecholamine-producing chromaffin cells. Neuroblastomas are common childhood tumors in the adrenal medulla and abdominal ganglia. READ MORE

  5. 3. Molecular Genetic Alterations In Endometrial And Ovarian Cancers

    Abstract : Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer diagnosed in western countries. Complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) reflects a state of hyperestrinism and its role as a precursor lesion of this cancer is established. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dissecting Phenotypic Variation in Pigmentation using Forward and Reverse Genetics

    Author : Anders R Hellström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pigmentation; eumelanin; pheomelanin; knockout; Silver; SLC45A2; PMEL17; Sex-linked barring; CDKN2A; CDKN2B; ARF; chicken; Japanese quail; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Coat color and patterning phenotypes have been extensively studied as a model for advancing our understanding of the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation. In this thesis, genes of relevance for pigment cell biology were investigated. The dissertation is divided in two parts. READ MORE

  7. 5. Gene x lifestyle interactions in type 2 diabetes mellitus and related traits

    Author : Ema C Brito; Paul Franks; Aline Meirhaeghe; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract :   Background: Type 2 diabetes is thought to result from interactions between genetic and lifestyle factors, but few robust examples exist. The overarching aim of this thesis was to discover such interactions by studying cohorts of white youth and adults from northern Europe in which physical activity, genotypes, and diabetes-related traits or diabetes incidence had been ascertained.
