    • Autophagy Controls BCG-Induced Trained Immunity and the Response to Intravesical BCG Therapy for Bladder Cancer 

      Buffen, Kathrin; Oosting, Marije; Quintin, Jessica; Ng, Aylwin; Kleinnijenhuis, Johanneke; Kumar, Vinod; van de Vosse, Esther; Wijmenga, Cisca; van Crevel, Reinout; Oosterwijk, Egbert; Grotenhuis, Anne J.; Vermeulen, Sita H.; Kiemeney, Lambertus A.; van de Veerdonk, Frank L.; Chamilos, Georgios; Xavier, Ramnik J.; van der Meer, Jos W. M.; Netea, Mihai G.; Joosten, Leo A. B. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The anti-tuberculosis-vaccine Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the most widely used vaccine in the world. In addition to its effects against tuberculosis, BCG vaccination also induces non-specific beneficial effects against ...
    • Identification of ALK Gene Alterations in Urothelial Carcinoma 

      Bellmunt, Joaquim; Selvarajah, Shamini; Rodig, Scott; Salido, Marta; de Muga, Silvia; Costa, Irmgard; Bellosillo, Beatriz; Werner, Lillian; Mullane, Stephanie; Fay, André P.; O'Brien, Robert; Barretina, Jordi; Minoche, André E.; Signoretti, Sabina; Montagut, Clara; Himmelbauer, Heinz; Berman, David M.; Kantoff, Philip; Choueiri, Toni K.; Rosenberg, Jonathan E. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) genomic alterations have emerged as a potent predictor of benefit from treatment with ALK inhibitors in several cancers. Currently, there is no information about ALK gene ...
    • Identification of Nine Genomic Regions of Amplification in Urothelial Carcinoma, Correlation with Stage, and Potential Prognostic and Therapeutic Value 

      Chekaluk, Yvonne; Wu, Chin-Lee; Rosenberg, Jonathan; Riester, Markus; Dai, Qishan; Lin, Sharron X; Guo, Yanan; McDougal, William Scott; Kwiatkowski, David Joseph (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      We performed a genome wide analysis of 164 urothelial carcinoma samples and 27 bladder cancer cell lines to identify copy number changes associated with disease characteristics, and examined the association of amplification ...
    • Winner's Curse Correction and Variable Thresholding Improve Performance of Polygenic Risk Modeling Based on Genome-Wide Association Study Summary-Level Data 

      Shi, Jianxin; Park, Ju-Hyun; Duan, Jubao; Berndt, Sonja T.; Moy, Winton; Yu, Kai; Song, Lei; Wheeler, William; Hua, Xing; Silverman, Debra; Garcia-Closas, Montserrat; Hsiung, Chao Agnes; Figueroa, Jonine D.; Cortessis, Victoria K.; Malats, Núria; Karagas, Margaret R.; Vineis, Paolo; Chang, I-Shou; Lin, Dongxin; Zhou, Baosen; Seow, Adeline; Matsuo, Keitaro; Hong, Yun-Chul; Caporaso, Neil E.; Wolpin, Brian; Jacobs, Eric; Petersen, Gloria M.; Klein, Alison P.; Li, Donghui; Risch, Harvey; Sanders, Alan R.; Hsu, Li; Schoen, Robert E.; Brenner, Hermann; Stolzenberg-Solomon, Rachael; Gejman, Pablo; Lan, Qing; Rothman, Nathaniel; Amundadottir, Laufey T.; Landi, Maria Teresa; Levinson, Douglas F.; Chanock, Stephen J.; Chatterjee, Nilanjan (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Recent heritability analyses have indicated that genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to improve genetic risk prediction for complex diseases based on polygenic risk score (PRS), a simple modelling ...
