The common colorectal cancer predisposition SNP rs6983267 at chromosome 8q24 confers potential to enhanced Wnt signaling
Homozygosity for the G allele of rs6983267 at 8q24 increases colorectal cancer (CRC) risk ∼1.5 fold. We report here that the risk allele G shows copy number increase during CRC development. Our… Expand

Early-onset renal cell carcinoma as a novel extraparaganglial component of SDHB-associated heritable paraganglioma.
Hereditary paraganglioma syndrome has recently been shown to be caused by germline heterozygous mutations in three (SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD) of the four genes that encode mitochondrial succinate… Expand

Transcription factor PROX1 induces colon cancer progression by promoting the transition from benign to highly dysplastic phenotype.
The Drosophila transcription factor Prospero functions as a tumor suppressor, and it has been suggested that the human counterpart of Prospero, PROX1, acts similarly in human cancers. However, we… Expand

Biallelic inactivation of fumarate hydratase (FH) occurs in nonsyndromic uterine leiomyomas but is rare in other tumors.
Germline mutations in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene at 1q43 predispose to dominantly inherited cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas, uterine leiomyosarcoma, and papillary renal cell cancer (HLRCC… Expand

7q deletion mapping and expression profiling in uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are some of the most common tumours of females, but relatively little is known about their molecular basis. Several studies have suggested that deletions on chromosome 7q could have… Expand

Distinct expression profile in fumarate-hydratase-deficient uterine fibroids.
Defects in mitochondrial enzymes predispose to severe developmental defects as well as tumorigenesis. Heterozygous germline mutations in the nuclear gene encoding fumarate hydratase (FH), an enzyme… Expand

Metastatic Competence Can Emerge with Selection of Preexisting Oncogenic Alleles without a Need of New Mutations.
Several experimental models faithfully recapitulate many important facets of human metastatic disease. Here, we have performed whole-exome sequencing in five widely used experimental metastasis… Expand

Array comparative genomic hybridization identifies a distinct DNA copy number profile in renal cell cancer associated with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer
Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is a tumor predisposition syndrome with cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis as well as renal cell cancer (RCC) as its clinical manifestations.… Expand

Definition of a minimal region of deletion of chromosome 7 in uterine leiomyomas by tiling‐path microarray CGH and mutation analysis of known genes in this region
Somatic interstitial deletions of chromosome segment 7q22–q31 in uterine leiomyomas are a frequent event, thought to be indicative of a tumor suppressor gene in the region. Previous LOH and CGH… Expand
