21. Molecular Cytogenetics in Sporadic Breast Cancer
Abstract : In recent time breast cancer has become the most common form of female cancer in the western world. It has been estimated that the lifetime risk of women falling ill from the disease is 10%. The number of patients diagnosed each year has been increasing steadily since the 1970s. READ MORE

22. Prevalence and Inheritance of Hip Osteoarthritis in Iceland
Abstract : Hereditary factors are suggested to contribute to osteoarthritis (OA), but their relative importance is uncertain. Moreover, the underlying specific variations at the genome level remain unknown. The prevalence of hip OA in Iceland was assessed by examining colon radiographs and was found to be at least 5-fold higher compared to Sweden and Denmark. READ MORE

23. Gene and protein expression in denervated atrophic and hypertrophic skeletal muscle
Abstract : Following denervation skeletal muscles change their functional and structural properties. Some changes resemble conditions in developing muscles and may be important for reinnervation. Due to inactivity following denervation most skeletal muscles loose muscle mass and become atrophic. READ MORE

24. The development of synthetic gene delivery systems
Abstract : This thesis describes a new platform technology. The technique is referred to as Bioplex (biological complex) in analogy with the nomenclature for other transfection reagents, since we attach biological functions to a nucleic acid complex via sequence-specific hybridisation. READ MORE

25. Clinical and genetical studies in cystic fibrosis and pseudohypoaldosteronism
Abstract : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe autosomal recessive disorder among Caucasians and is caused by mutations of the chloride channel, CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene. Despite a markedly improved median survival many CF patients still die at a young age. READ MORE
