A new approach to epigenome-wide discovery of non-invasive methylation biomarkers for colorectal cancer screening in circulating cell-free DNA using pooled samples
(Biomed Central, 2018-04-16)
Background: Colorectal cancer is the fourth cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, though detection at early stages associates with good prognosis. Thus, there is a clear demand for novel non-invasive tests for the early ...
Colorectal Cancer Genetic Variants Are Also Associated with Serrated Polyposis Syndrome Susceptibility
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-10)
Background Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a clinical entity characterised by large and/ormultiple serrated polyps throughout the colon and increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The basis for SPS genetic ...
Exome Sequencing of Early-Onset Patients Supports Genetic Heterogeneity in Colorectal Cancer
(Springer, 2021-05-27)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex disease that can be caused by a spectrum of genetic variants ranging from low to high penetrance changes, that interact with the environment to determine which individuals will develop ...
Colorectal cancer molecular classification using BRAF, KRAS, microsatellite instability and CIMP status: Prognostic implications and response to chemotherapy
(Public Library of Science, 2018-09-06)
Objective
The aim of this study was to validate a molecular classification of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on microsatellite instability (MSI), CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) status, BRAF, and KRAS and investigate ...
Identification of a Novel Candidate Gene for Serrated Polyposis Syndrome Germline Predisposition by Performing Linkage Analysis Combined With Whole-Exome Sequencing
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2019-09-19)
OBJECTIVES: Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) is a complex disorder with a high risk of colorectal cancer for which the germline factors remain largely unknown. Here, we combined whole-exome sequencing (WES) and linkage ...
Using linkage studies combined with whole-exome sequencing to identify novel candidate genes for familial colorectal cancer
(Wiley, 2019-11)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex disorder for which the majority of the underlying germline predisposition factors remain still unidentified. Here, we combined whole-exome sequencing (WES) and linkage analysis in ...
