Lips, Esther H, Van Eijk, Ronald, De Graaf, Eelco JR, Oosting, Jan, De Miranda, Noel FCC, Karsten, Tom, ...

Abstract Background Accurate staging of rectal tumors is essential for making the correct treatment choice. In a previous study, we found that loss of 17p, 18q and gain of 8q, 13q and 20q could...

Refinement of the basis and impact of common 11q23.1 variation to the risk of developing colorectal cancer (2008)

Pittman, Alan M., Webb, Emily, Carvajal-Carmona, Luis, Howarth, Kimberley, Di Bernardo, Maria Chiara, Broderick, Peter, ...

The common single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3802842 at 11q23.1 has recently been reported to be associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). To examine this association in detail we...

HNPCC versussporadic microsatellite-unstable colon cancers follow different routes toward loss of HLA class I expression (2007)

Dierssen, Jan, De Miranda, Noel FCC, Ferrone, Soldano, Van Puijenbroek, Marjo, Cornelisse, Cees J, Fleuren, Gert, ...

Abstract Background Abnormalities in Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class I expression are common in colorectal cancer. Since HLA expression is required to activate tumor antigen-specific cytotoxic...

A procedure for the detection of linkage with high density SNP arrays in a large pedigree with colorectal cancer (2007)

Middeldorp, Anneke, Jagmohan-Changur, Shantie, Helmer, Quinta, Van Der Klift, Heleen M, Tops, Carli MJ, Vasen, Hans FA, ...

Abstract Background The apparent dominant model of colorectal cancer (CRC) inheritance in several large families, without mutations in known CRC susceptibility genes, suggests the presence of so far...

High-resolution copy number analysis of paraffin-embedded archival tissue using SNP BeadArrays (2007)

Oosting, Jan, Lips, Esther H., Van Eijk, Ronald, Eilers, Paul H.C., Szuhai, Károly, Wijmenga, Cisca, ...

High-density SNP microarrays provide insight into the genomic events that occur in diseases like cancer through their capability to measure both LOH and genomic copy numbers. Where currently...

High-resolution analysis of HLA class I alterations in colorectal cancer (2006)

Dierssen, Jan Willem F, De Miranda, Noel FCC, Mulder, Arend, Van Puijenbroek, Marjo, Verduyn, Willem, Claas, Frans HJ, ...

Abstract Background Previous studies indicate that alterations in Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class I expression are frequent in colorectal tumors. This would suggest serious limitations for...

Genomic profiling by DNA amplification of laser capture microdissected tissues and array CGH (2004)

Cardoso, Joana, Molenaar, Lia, De Menezes, Renée X., Rosenberg, Carla, Morreau, Hans, Möslein, Gabriela, ...

Comparative genomic hybridization by means of BAC microarrays (array CGH) allows high-resolution profiling of copy-number aberrations in tumor DNA. However, specific genetic lesions associated with...

Wagner, Anja, Barrows, Alicia, Wijnen, Juul Th., Van der Klift, Heleen, Franken, Patrick F., Verkuijlen, Paul, ...

The identification of germline mutations in families with HNPCC is hampered by genetic heterogeneity and clinical variability. In previous studies, MSH2 and MLH1 mutations were found in approximately...

Conventional and Tissue Microarray Immunohistochemical Expression Analysis of Mismatch Repair in Hereditary Colorectal Tumors

Hendriks, Yvonne, Franken, Patrick, Dierssen, Jan Willem, De Leeuw, Wiljo, Wijnen, Juul, Dreef, Enno, ...

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins in colorectal tumors together with microsatellite analysis (MSI) can be helpful in identifying families eligible for mutation analysis....
