• Associations between ABO blood groups and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: influence on resection status and survival 

      el Jellas, Khadija; Hoem, Dag; Hagen, Kristin Gjerde; Kalvenes, May Britt; Aziz, Sura Mohammed; Steine, Solrun; Immervoll, Heike; Johansson, Stefan; Molven, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07)
      Both serology‐based and genetic studies have reported an association between pancreatic cancer risk and ABO blood groups. We have investigated this relationship in a cohort of pancreatic cancer patients from Western Norway ...
    • Deficiency of the metabolic enzyme SCHAD in pancreatic β-cells promotes amino acid–sensitive hypoglycemia 

      St-Louis, Johanna L.; el Jellas, Khadija; Velasco, Kelly; Slipp, Brittany A.; Hu, Jiang; Helgeland, Geir; Steine, Solrun; De Jesus, Dario F.; Kulkarni, Rohit N.; Molven, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Congenital hyperinsulinism of infancy (CHI) can be caused by a deficiency of the ubiquitously expressed enzyme short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCHAD). To test the hypothesis that SCHAD-CHI arises from a specific ...
    • The genetic risk factor CEL-HYB1 causes proteotoxicity and chronic pancreatitis in mice 

      Fjeld, Karianne; Svanbring, Anny Gravdal; Brekke, Ranveig Seim; Alam, Jahedul; Wilhelm, Steven J.; el Jellas, Khadija; Pettersen, Helene Nazmiye; Lin, Jianguo; Solheim, Marie Holm; Steine, Solrun; Johansson, Bente Berg; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Verbeke, Caroline Sophie; Xiao, Xunjun; Lowe, Mark E.; Molven, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background & aims: The CEL gene encodes the digestive enzyme carboxyl ester lipase. CEL-HYB1, a hybrid allele of CEL and its adjacent pseudogene CELP, is a genetic variant suggested to increase the risk of chronic pancreatitis ...
    • Mutation analysis by deep sequencing of pancreatic juice from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma 

      Choi, Man Hung; Mejlænder-Andersen, Eline; Manueldas, Sophia; el Jellas, Khadija; Steine, Solrun; Tjensvoll, Kjersti; Sætran, Hege Aase; Knappskog, Stian; Hoem, Dag; Nordgård, Oddmund; Hovland, Randi; Molven, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-05)
      Background Reliable methods are needed to identify patients with early-stage cancer or high-grade precancerous lesions in the pancreas. Analysis of pancreatic juice to detect somatic mutations could represent one such ...
    • pRb2/p130 protein expression and RBL2 mutation analysis in Burkitt lymphoma from Uganda 

      Kalungi, Sam; Steine, Solrun; Wabinga, Henry; Bostad, Leif; Molven, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-08-19)
      Background: The members of the retinoblastoma protein family, pRb, p107 and pRb2 (p130), are central players in controlling the cell cycle. Whereas disturbed function of pRb is commonly seen in human cancers, it is still ...
