Mechanistic Insights Into Cancer Predisposition
Genetic predisposition to cancer is tightly linked to an increased rate of somatic mutations. For one of the corresponding syndromes, the underlying defect has now been revealed to affect the DNA […]
Understanding DNA Alterations in Colorectal Cancer
Germline and somatic DNA alterations may cause inherited diseases and/or cancer. While CENTOGENE’s routine diagnostic focus is on the former, we frequently address oncological questions in research […]
Genetic modifiers in hereditary breast cancer
Age at manifestation varies widely in carriers of cancer susceptibility variants. A recent study involving scientists from CENTOGENE suggested that this phenomenon is partially explained by certain […]
Robustness of Comprehensive DNA- and RNA-Based Assays at Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Using Blood and Bone Marrow Stored on Filter Cards
"Molecular analyses in hematologic malignancies gained considerable importance in the last decade at diagnosis and for minimal residual disease (MRD). In our study, we performed a comparison of […]
Characterization of the Novel Indolylmaleimides'
Protein kinase inhibitors are widely used in chemotherapeutic cancer regimens. Maleimide derivatives such as SB-216763 act as GSK-3 inhibitor targeting cell proliferation, cell death and cell cycle […]
Next-Generation Sequencing of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes for the Diagnostics of Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer
We explored a more efficient genetic screening strategy based on next-generation sequencing of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in 210 hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer patients.
‘Omics’ and ‘Omes’ – The Future of Personalised Medicine
Advanced treatment – tailored to the individual patient instead of “one-size-fits-all” – is the zenith of personalized, or precision, medicine.
The Novel Arylindolylmaleimide PDA-66 Displays Pronounced Antiproliferative Effects in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells
PDA-66 displays significant antileukemic activity in ALL cells and classifies as candidate for further evaluation as a potential drug in targeted therapy of ALL.
