Background A positive family history, germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes, tumours with high microsatellite instability, and loss of mismatch repair protein expression are the hallmarks of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer…
-
Background NLRP7 mutations are responsible for recurrent molar pregnancies and associated reproductive wastage. To investigate the role of NLRP7 in sporadic moles and other forms of reproductive wastage, the authors sequenced this gene in a cohort…
-
Background Genetic factors influencing lung function may predispose to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) signalling pathway is critical for lung development and lung epithelial renewal. The…
-
Background and aims Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) represents a rare but clinically relevant cause of pancreatic inflammation. Using MRL/Mp mice as a model of spontaneous AIP, the genetic basis of the disease was studied. Methods To identify…
-
Background Carriers of a germline mutation in a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene-that is, persons with Lynch syndrome-have substantially high risks of colorectal (CRC), endometrial, and several other cancers. The proportion of carriers who have de…
-
Objective To calculate and discuss the percentage of imbalance for selected cancer predisposition genes in patients referred for routine diagnostic array comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH). Design Audit of findings from application of array CGH…
-
Background Cowden syndrome (CS) is associated with benign hamartomatous lesions and risks for thyroid, breast and endometrial cancers. Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome is an allelic disorder characterised by macrocephaly, intestinal polyps,…
-
Background Germline mutations in the PALB2 gene have been implicated in both breast cancer and pancreatic cancer susceptibility. The extent to which PALB2 mutations account for cancer susceptibility in breast-pancreas cancer families is unknown.…

Background Thyroid hormones have important roles in growth, development and control of metabolism, and their dysregulation can lead to disease. Objectives To identify genes contributing to hyperthyrotropinaemia. Design, setting, participants Linkage…
