• Abundant Genetic Overlap between Blood Lipids and Immune-Mediated Diseases Indicates Shared Molecular Genetic Mechanisms 

      Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Desikan, Rahul S.; Wang, Yunpeng; Thompson, Wesley K.; Schork, Andrew J.; Zuber, Verena; Doncheva, Nadezhda T.; Ellinghaus, E.va; Mattingsdal, Morten; Franke, Andre; Lie, Benedicte. A.; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; Aukrust, Pål; McEvoy, Linda K.; Djurovic, Srdjan; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Dale, Anders M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-08)
      Epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between blood lipids and immune-mediated diseases, but the nature of these associations is not well understood. We used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate ...
    • Autocrine activation of MAPK signaling mediates intrinsic tolerance to androgen deprivation in LY6D prostate cancer cells 

      Steiner, Ivana; Flores-Tellez, Teresita del N.J.; Mevel, Renaud; Ali, Amin; Wang, Pengbo; Schofield, Pieta; Behan, Caron; Forsythe, Nicholas; Ashton, Garry; Taylor, Catherine; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; Oliveira, Pedro; McDade, Simon S.; Zaiss, Dietmar M.; Choudhury, Ananya; Lacaud, Georges; Baena, Esther (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The emergence of castration-resistant prostate cancer remains an area of unmet clinical need. We recently identified a subpopulation of normal prostate progenitor cells, characterized by an intrinsic resistance to androgen ...
    • CACNA1D overexpression and voltage-gated calcium channels in prostate cancer during androgen deprivation 

      McKerr, Niamh; Mohd-Sarip, Adone; Dorrian, Hannah; Breen, Conor; A. James, Jacqueline; McQuaid, Stephen; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; McCloskey, Karen D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Prostate cancer is often treated by perturbing androgen receptor signalling. CACNA1D, encoding CaV1.3 ion channels is upregulated in prostate cancer. Here we show how hormone therapy affects CACNA1D expression and CaV1.3 ...
    • Identification of shared genetic variants between schizophrenia and lung cancer 

      Zuber, Verena; Jönsson, Erik Gunnar; Frei, Oleksandr; Witoelar, Aree; Thompson, V K; Schork, Andrew J; Bettella, Francesco; Wang, Yunpeng; Djurovic, Srdjan; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; Dieset, Ingrid; Fanous, Ayman H.; Desikan, Rahul S; Küry, Sébastien; Bezieau, Stephane; Dale, Anders M; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; Andreassen, Ole Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-12)
      Epidemiology studies suggest associations between schizophrenia and cancer. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms are not well understood, and difficult to identify from epidemiological data. We investigated if there ...
