• C77G in PTPRC (CD45) is no risk allele for ovarian cancer, but associated with less aggressive disease 

      Landskron, Johannes; Kraggerud, Sigrid M.; Wik, Elisabeth; Dørum, Anne; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Melum, Espen; Helland, Øystein; Bjørge, Line; Lothe, Ragnhild A; Salvesen, Helga; Tasken, Kjetil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-31)
      The pan lymphocyte marker CD45 exists in various isoforms arising from alternative splicing of the exons 4, 5 and 6. While naïve T cells express CD45RA translated from an mRNA containing exon 4, exons 4–6 are spliced out ...
    • Gene expression profiles of CMS2-epithelial/canonical colorectal cancers are largely driven by DNA copy number gains 

      Berg, Kaja Christine Graue; Sveen, Anita; Høland, Maren; Alagaratnam, Sharmini; Rasmussen, Marianne Berg; Danielsen, Stine Aske; Nesbakken, Arild; Søreide, Kjetil; Lothe, Ragnhild A (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-15)
      About 80% of colorectal cancers (CRCs) have chromosomal instability, which is an integral part of aggressive malignancy development, but the importance of specific copy number aberrations (CNAs) in modulating gene expression, ...
    • Prognostic relevance of an epigenetic biomarker panel in sentinel lymph nodes from colon cancer patients 

      Lind, Guro Elisabeth; Guriby, Marianne; Ahlquist, Terje Cruickshank; Hussain, Israr; Jeanmougin, Marine; Søreide, Kjetil; Kørner, Hartwig; Lothe, Ragnhild A; Nordgård, Oddmund (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-05)
      Background: Patients with early colorectal cancer (stages I–II) generally have a good prognosis, but a subgroup of 15–20% experiences relapse and eventually die of disease. Occult metastases have been suggested as a marker ...
