Research

Folate pathway gene polymorphisms and risk of childhood brain tumors: Results from an Australian case-control study

Recent research suggests that maternal folic acid supplementation is associated with a reduced risk of childhood brain tumors (CBT); polymorphisms in folate...

Research

The aggregation of early-onset melanoma in young Western Australian families

Results indicated a strong familial basis of melanoma, with the higher than expected hazard ratio observed likely to reflect early-age at onset cases in this...

Research

Bioenergetic modulation overcomes glucocorticoid resistance in T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Drug-resistant forms of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are a leading cause of death from disease in children.

Research

Familial aggregation of childhood and adult cancer in the Utah genealogy

We explored familial aggregation of cancer in a population-based case-control study using genealogical record linkage and designed to overcome limitations of...

Research

Novel oncogenic PDGFRA mutations in pediatric high-grade gliomas

The outcome for children with high-grade gliomas (HGG) remains dismal, with a 2-year survival rate of only 10% to 30%.

Research

Hypomethylation of the CTGF gene locus is a common feature of paediatric pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

We identified consistent hypomethylation of the CTGF locus in primary pre-B ALL specimens regardless of CTGF expression.

Research

Genetic polymorphisms and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: GWAS of the ESCALE study (SFCE)

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for approximately 80% of the acute leukemia (AL) overall cases per year in France. We report the results of a...

Research

Validation of a mouse xenograft model system for gene expression analysis of human acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Pre-clinical models that effectively recapitulate human disease are critical for expanding our knowledge of cancer biology and drug resistance mechanisms.

Meningiomas in children and adolescents: a meta-analysis of individual patient data

The epidemiological, prognostic, and therapeutic features of child and adolescent meningioma are poorly defined...
