A replication study using a set of 1,200 melanoma patient DNA samples and similarly large series of healthy controls was undertaken. Results: We selected 21 potentially deleterious variants in 20 genes (VRK1, MYCT1, DNAH14, CASC3, MS4A12, PRC1, WWOX, CARD6, EXO5, CASC3, CASP8AP2, STK33, SAMD11, CNDP2, CPNE1, EFCAB6, CABLES1, LEKR1, NUDT17, and RRP15), which were identified by WES and confirmed by Sanger sequencing for an association study. Evaluation of the allele distribution among carriers and their relatives in available family trios revealed that these variants were unlikely to account for many familial cases of melanoma. Replication study revealed no statistically significant differences between cases and controls. Conclusion: Although most of the changes seemed to be neutral we could not exclude an association between variants in VRK1, CREB3L3, EXO5, and STK33 with melanoma risk.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 09:22:11 AEDT ]]> Serum concentrations of selenium and copper in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23842 Wed 09 Mar 2022 16:01:18 AEDT ]]>
