  2. 21. Tracking functional changes in the cancer genome : a molecular genetic analysis of renal and prostatic carcinomas using PCR based techniques by a candidate chromosome and candidate gene approach

    Author : Chunde Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Renal cell carcinoma; Prostatic Carcinoma; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignancy occurring in the adult kidney. Prostatic carcinoma is the most common male malignancy in most Western countries. Several environmental factors have been suggested to contributed to the tumor genesis but the involvement of genetic factors is also recognized. READ MORE

  5. 23. Genetic epidemiology of adiposity and abnormal glucose tolerance in South Asian Indians

    Author : Senthil Kandaswamy Vasan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Genetic factors play a substantial role in susceptibility to common diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obesity-related disorders. The current investigation was undertaken to examine the association of genetic variants that indirectly affect diabetes-related traits through their effects on birth weight and adiposity in South Asian Indians.

    Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignancy of the human kidney, occurring most commonly during the seventh and eighth decades of life. The incidence is high in the Nordic countries and the five year survival is 40-50%. Smoking is a risk factor inferring a minor increase in risk. The best established risk factor is obesity.
