(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
Background: In precision cancer medicine, the challenge is to prioritize DNA driver events, account for resistance markers, and procure sufficient information for treatment that maintains patient safety. The MetAction ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
Background
We previously reported that in pathogenic mismatch repair (path_MMR) variant carriers, the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) was not reduced when colonoscopy was undertaken more frequently ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
We have surveyed 191 prospectively sampled familial cancer patients with no previously detected pathogenic variant in the BRCA1/2, PTEN, TP53 or DNA mismatch repair genes. In all, 138 breast cancer (BC) cases, 34 colorectal ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
Peritoneal malignant mesothelioma is a rare disease with a generally poor prognosis and poor response to chemotherapy. To improve survival there is a need for increased molecular understanding of the disease, including ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
Background
Recent epidemiological evidence shows that colorectal cancer (CRC) continues to occur in carriers of pathogenic mismatch repair (path_MMR) variants despite frequent colonoscopy surveillance in ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
Background
The genetic mechanisms for families who meet the clinical criteria for Lynch syndrome (LS) but do not carry pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes are still undetermined. We aimed ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
Background
In kindreds carrying path_BRCA1/2 variants, some women in these families will develop cancer despite testing negative for the family’s pathogenic variant. These families may have additional ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
Background Most patients with path_MMR gene variants (Lynch syndrome (LS)) now survive both their first and subsequent cancers, resulting in a growing number of older patients with LS for whom limited information exists ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
Genomic alterations occurring during melanoma progression and the resulting genomic heterogeneity between metastatic deposits remain incompletely understood. Analyzing 86 metastatic melanoma deposits from 53 patients with ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
Summary
Individual tumor genomes pose a major challenge for clinical interpretation due to their unique sets of acquired mutations. There is a general scarcity of tools that can (i) systematically interrogate cancer ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
Sample pooling enabled by dedicated indexes is a common strategy for cost-effective and robust high-throughput sequencing. Index misassignment leading to mutual contamination between pooled samples has however been described ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
Background: Recent large-scale undertakings such as ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics have generated experimental data mapped to the human reference genome (as genomic tracks) representing a variety of functional elements ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
Background
We have previously reported a high incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in carriers of pathogenic MLH1 variants (path_MLH1) despite follow-up with colonoscopy including polypectomy.

Objective: Today most patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) survive their first cancer. There is limited information on the incidences and outcome of subsequent cancers. The present study addresses three questions: (i) what ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
Objective Through the conduct of an individual-based intervention study, the main purpose of this project was to build and evaluate the required infrastructure that may enable routine practice of precision cancer medicine ...

In this study, we analyzed the prevalence and clone size of BRAF V600E mutation in 209 patients with multiple myeloma and related the results to clinical phenotype, response and survival. Biopsies were screened for BRAF ...

Background
The technological development of DNA analysis has had tremendous development in recent years, and the present deep sequencing techniques present unprecedented opportunities for detailed and ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2009)
Background
Recent segmental duplications are relatively large (≥ 1 kb) genomic regions of high sequence identity (≥ 90%). They cover approximately 4–5% of the human genome and play important roles in gene ...
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2009)
Specific guanine-rich sequence motifs in the human genome have considerable potential to form four-stranded structures known as G-quadruplexes or G4 DNA. The enrichment of these motifs in key chromosomal regions has suggested ...
