• The DNA methylome of cervical cells can predict the presence of ovarian cancer 

      Barrett, James E.; Jones, Allison; Evans, Iona; Reisel, Daniel; Herzog, Chiara; Chindera, Kantaraja; Kristiansen, Mark; Leavy, Olivia C.; Manchanda, Ranjit; Bjørge, Line; Zikan, Michal; Cibula, David; Widschwendter, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The vast majority of epithelial ovarian cancer arises from tissues that are embryologically derived from the Müllerian Duct. Here, we demonstrate that a DNA methylation signature in easy-to-access Müllerian Duct-derived ...
    • A Simple Cervicovaginal Epigenetic Test for Screening and Rapid Triage of Women With Suspected Endometrial Cancer: Validation in Several Cohort and Case/Control Sets 

      Herzog, Chiara; Marín, Fátima; Jones, Allison; Evans, Iona; Reisel, Daniel; Redl, Elisa; Schreiberhuber, Lena; Paytubi, Sonia; Pelegrina, Beatriz; Carmona, Álvaro; Peremiquel-Trillas, Paula; Frias-Gomez, Jon; Pineda, Marta; Brunet, Joan; Ponce, Jordi; Matias-Guiu, Xavier; de Sanjosé, Silvia; Alemany, Laia; Olaitan, Adeola; Wong, Michael; Jurkovic, Davor; Crosbie, Emma J.; Rosenthal, Adam N.; Bjørge, Line; Zikan, Michal; Dostalek, Lukas; Cibula, David; Sundström, Karin; Dillner, Joakim; Costas, Laura; Widschwendter, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      PURPOSE Endometrial cancer (EC) incidence has been rising over the past 10 years. Delays in diagnosis reduce survival and necessitate more aggressive treatment. We aimed to develop and validate a simple, noninvasive, and ...
    • The WID-BC-index identifies women with primary poor prognostic breast cancer based on DNA methylation in cervical samples 

      Barrett, James E.; Herzog, Chiara; Jones, Allison; Leavy, Olivia C.; Evans, Iona; Knapp, Susanne; Reisel, Daniel; Nazarenko, Tatiana; Kim, Yoo-Na; Franchi, Dorella; Ryan, Andy; Franks, Joanna; Bjørge, Line; Zikan, Michal; Cibula, David; Harbeck, Nadia; Colombo, Nicoletta; Dudbridge, Frank; Jones, Louise; Sundström, Karin; Dillner, Joakim; Rådestad, Angelique Flöter; Gemzell-Danielsson, Kristina; Pashayan, Nora; Widschwendter, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to breast cancer development. An epigenome-based signature capturing these components in easily accessible samples could identify women at risk. Here, we analyse the DNA methylome ...
