A common coding variant in CASP8 is associated with breast cancer risk

Angela Cox, +84 more
- 11 Feb 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that common breast cancer susceptibility alleles with small effects on risk can be identified, given sufficiently powerful studies, as well as the need for further studies to confirm putative genetic associations with breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fusobacterium nucleatum associates with stages of colorectal neoplasia development, colorectal cancer and disease outcome

TL;DR: This is the first study examining Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) in the colonic tissue and stool of European CRC and CRA patients, and suggests Fn as a novel risk factor for disease progression from adenoma to cancer, possibly affecting patient survival outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAD51 135G→C Modifies Breast Cancer Risk among BRCA2 Mutation Carriers: Results from a Combined Analysis of 19 Studies

TL;DR: RAD51 is the first gene to be reliably identified as a modifier of risk among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and it is determined that the 135G-->C variant affects RAD51 splicing within the 5' UTR.
Journal Article

CD20-induced lymphoma cell death is independent of both caspases and its redistribution into triton X-100 insoluble membrane rafts

TL;DR: It was shown that phosphatidylserine translocation and mitochondrial permeability transition evoked during CD20-induced apoptosis appeared caspase independent, implying that CD20 can evoke apoptosis without the involvement of mitochondria and caspases and irrespective of redistribution into TX-100 insoluble membrane rafts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brief report: fulminating fat embolism syndrome caused by paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale.

TL;DR: A patient undergoing treatment of a femoral fracture in whom massive fat embolism was demonstrated by transesophageal echocardiography is described, precipitating paradoxical fat emblism across a patent foramen ovale, with the subsequent development of the Fat Embolism syndrome.
