(Board, 2018-04-01)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. Numerous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) could play a role in this disease. Nowadays, more than 2500 miRNAs have been described, that ...
Impact of polymorphisms in apoptosis-related genes on the outcome of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
(Wiley, 2018-05-29)
Despite intensification of therapy, 20% of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) relapse (Ceppi et al, 2015). The different response to chemotherapy may be partially explained by inherited genetic variants, ...
Genetic and environmental factors affecting birth size variation: a pooled individual-based analysis of secular trends and global geographical differences using 26 twin cohorts
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-19)
Background: The genetic architecture of birth size may differ geographically and over
time. We examined differences in the genetic and environmental contributions to birthweight,
length and ponderal index (PI) across ...
