1. The significance of placental and placental-like alkaline phosphatases in tumor biology and their potential use in clinical practice
Abstract : Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is a membrane bound enzyme normally synthesized by the syncytiotrophoblasts in the human placenta. Recent studies have indicated that trace amounts of placental-like alkaline phosphatases also are present in several normal organs like testes and endocervix. READ MORE

2. Etiological insights into the testicular cancer epidemic
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to search for causes of the testicular cancer epidemic through epidemiologic studies of testicular cancer and possibly related conditions, such as urogenital birth defects and subfertility. First, we assessed changes in fertility over time by studying time-to-pregnancy among primiparous women in Sweden from 1983 through 1993 using data from the Medical Birth Registry. READ MORE

3. Molecular epidemiology of complex heritable disease : applications in genomics and metabolomics
Abstract : Modern high-throughput molecular technologies (collectively referred to as “omic” platforms) are generating unprecedented amounts of data on human variation. The four papers in this thesis each investigate and characterize associations between common, complex, heritable disease, and genetic or metabolomic markers from omic platforms. READ MORE

4. Human intestinal alkaline phosphatase : tissue expression and serum levels
Abstract : Human alkaline phosphatase (ALP) comprises four isozymes, viz liver/bone/ kidney or tissue unspecific (AP), intestinal (LAP), placental (PLAP) and germ cell or PLAP-like alkaline phosphatase, with their main expression in specific tissues as indicated by their names. The isozymes are coded by different genes, but they are closely related, with more than 50% amino acid sequence homologies. READ MORE
