A polymorphism in the GALNT2 gene and ovarian cancer risk in four population based case-control studies
(e-Century Publishing, 2010)
Recent epidemiologic evidence supports a role for MUC1 in ovarian carcinogenesis; therefore, we hypothesized that common genetic variation in the genes responsible for glycosylation of MUC1 may influence ovarian cancer ...
Mumps and ovarian cancer: modern interpretation of an historic association
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2010)
Background
Epidemiologic studies found childhood mumps might protect against ovarian cancer. To explain this association, we investigated whether mumps might engender immunity to ovarian cancer through antibodies against ...
Anti-MUC1 Antibodies and Ovarian Cancer Risk: Prospective Data from the Nurses' Health Studies
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2010)
The surface epithelial glycoprotein MUC1 becomes overexpressed and hypoglycosylated in adenocarcinomas; similar changes occur during nonmalignant inflammatory events. Antibodies developed against tumor-like MUC1 in response ...
