The expression level for 15 887 transcripts in lymphoblastoid cell lines from 19 monozygotic twin pairs (10 male, 9 female) were analysed for the effects of genotype and sex. On an average, the effect of twin pairs explained 31% of the variance in normalized gene expression levels, consistent with p...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
To identify microRNAs potentially involved in melanomagenesis we compared microRNA transcription profiles between melanoma cell lines and cultured melanocytes. miRNA microarrays were manufactured by Agilent Technologies (Santa Clara, CA), and contain 20-40 features targeting each of 470 human miRNAs...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has become a major concern in Western countries due to rapid rises in incidence coupled with very poor survival rates. One of the key risk factors for the development of this cancer is the presence of Barrett’s esophagus (BE), which is believed to form in response to ...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
To identify gene expression biomarkers associated with asbestos-related lung adenocarcinoma, we analyzed primary tumour gene expression for a total of 36 primary lung adenocarcinomas on 22,323 element microarrays, comparing 12 patients with lung asbestos body counts above levels associated with urba...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) incidence is rapidly increasing in Western countries. A better understanding of EAC underpins efforts to improve early detection and treatment outcomes. While large EAC exome sequencing efforts to date have found recurrent loss-of-function mutations, oncogenic drivin...
Familial Melanoma Sequencing
In this experiment we have sequenced the exome of 15 individuals from eight families who have familial melanoma. By sequencing the exome we hope to be able to identify new genes that are associated with this disease.

We conducted whole-genome sequencing of probands from several melanoma families, identifying one individual carrying a novel germline variant (c.G1075A, NM_000248.3; p.E318K, NP_000239.1; rs149617956) in the melanoma lineage-specific oncogene MITF. While the variant cosegregated with melanoma in ...
