Ancestral genomic functional differences in oligodendroglia: implications for Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION This study investigates ancestry‐specific changes in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)‐derived oligodendroglia genomic regulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), addressing diversity gaps by including African, Amerindian, and European ancestries in the analysis. METHODS We generated 12 iPSC lines from AD patients and controls with

Wwox inactivation enhances mammary tumorigenesis [PDF]
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Expression of the WWOX tumor suppressor is absent or reduced in a large proportion of breast tumors suggesting that loss of WWOX may contribute to breast tumorigenesis. Wwox-deficient mice die by 3-4 weeks of age precluding adult tumor analysis.

Conditional Wwox deletion in mouse mammary gland by means of two Cre recombinase approaches. [PDF]
Loss of WWOX expression has been reported in many different cancers including breast cancer. Elucidating the function of this gene in adult tissues has not been possible with full Wwox knockout models. Here we characterize the first conditional models of

The degree of segmental aneuploidy measured by total copy number abnormalities predicts survival and recurrence in superficial gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Background: Prognostic biomarkers are needed for superficial gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) to predict clinical outcomes and select therapy. Although recurrent mutations have been characterized in EAC, little is known about their clinical and ...

Association of Wwox with ErbB4 in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Abstract WWOX, WW domain-containing oxidoreductase, is a tumor suppressor that is altered in many human cancers, including breast cancer. Wwox interacts with the ErbB4 receptor, reduces nuclear translocation of the cleaved intracellular domain of ErbB4, and inhibits its transactivation function mediated through Yes-associated protein ...

A multi-exon deletion within WWOX is associated with a 46,XY disorder of sex development [PDF]
Disorders of sex development (DSD) are congenital conditions where chromosomal, gonad or genital development is atypical. In a significant proportion of 46,XY DSD cases it is not possible to identify a causative mutation, making genetic counseling ...

A Role for the WWOX Gene in Prostate Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Expression of the WWOX gene, encompassing the common chromosome fragile site FRA16D, is altered in a large fraction of cancers of various types, including prostate cancer. We have examined expression and biological functions of WWOX in prostate cancer.

Correlated fragile site expression allows the identification of candidate fragile genes involved in immunity and associated with carcinogenesis [PDF]
Common fragile sites (cfs) are specific regions in the human genome that are particularly prone to genomic instability under conditions of replicative stress. Several investigations support the view that common fragile sites play a role in carcinogenesis.

Alteration of WWOX in human cancer, a clinical view [PDF]
WWOX gene is located in FRA16D, the highly affected chromosomal fragile site. Its tumor suppressor activity has been proposed on a basis of numerous genomic alterations reported in chromosome 16q23.3–24.1 locus. WWOX is affected in many cancers, showing as high as 80% loss of heterozygosity in breast tumors.
