      The BRCA1 protein is implicated in numerous important cellular processes to prevent genomic instability and tumorigenesis, and pathogenic germline variants predispose carriers to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). ...
    • Genetic alterations associated with malignant transformation of sporadic vestibular schwannoma 

      Håvik, Aril Løge; Bruland, Ove; Miletic, Hrvoje; Poulsgaard, Lars; Scheie, David; Fugleholm, Kåre; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Knappskog, Per Morten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Introduction: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VN-MPNST) is exceedingly rare and carries a poor prognosis. Little is known about its underlying genetics and in particular the process ...
    • Genetic Dominant Variants in STUB1, Segregating in Families with SCA48, Display In Vitro Functional Impairments Indistinctive from Recessive Variants Associated with SCAR16 

      Pakdaman, Yasaman; Berland, Siren; Bustad, Helene J.; Erdal, Sigrid; Thompson, Bryony A.; James, Paul A.; Power, Kjersti; Ellingsen, Ståle; Krooni, Martin; Berge, Line Iden; Sexton, Adrienne; Bindoff, Laurence Albert; Knappskog, Per Morten; Johansson, Stefan; Aukrust, Ingvild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Variants in STUB1 cause both autosomal recessive (SCAR16) and dominant (SCA48) spinocerebellar ataxia. Reports from 18 STUB1 variants causing SCA48 show that the clinical picture includes later-onset ataxia with a cerebellar ...
