    Abstract : Paper I & II: CDH1 germline mutations predispose individuals to diffuse gastric cancer, but its role in breast cancer is less clear. Somatic CDH1 mutations were reported to be frequent in lobular tumours (ILC), but they have not been found in ductal carcinomas (IDC). READ MORE

  4. 2. On Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia : case control studies, cellular localization and modelling of candidate genes

    Author : Andrea Carmine; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Genetic; association; dopamine; Parkinson s disease; schizophrenia; retinoid; aldehyde; toxicity;

    Abstract : The causes of many major neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diseases are unknown.
