      Knappskog, Stian; Leirvaag, Beryl; Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Vatten, Lars Johan; Lønning, Per Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Background While germline CHEK2 mutations have been linked to a moderately elevated cancer risk, to date, a limited number of such mutations have been identified. Recently, we reported a germline nonsense mutation (C283T; ...
    • Prognostic value of metabolic response in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy 

      Cao, Maria Dung; Giskeødegård, Guro F.; Bathen, Tone Frost; Sitter, Beathe; Bofin, Anna M.; Lønning, Per Eystein; Lundgren, Steinar; Gribbestad, Ingrid S (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Background Today's clinical diagnostic tools are insufficient for giving accurate prognosis to breast cancer patients. The aim of our study was to examine the tumor metabolic changes in patients with locally advanced breast ...
    • The MDM4 SNP34091 (rs4245739) C-allele is associated with increased risk of ovarian—but not endometrial cancer 

      Lønning, Per Eystein; Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Salvesen, Helga; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Birkeland, Einar Elvbakken; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Halle, Mari Kyllesø; Dørum, Anne; Hveem, Kristian; Knappskog, Stian; Vatten, Lars Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The MDM4 protein (also known as MDMX or HDMX) is a negative regulator of p53, not only by direct interaction but also through its interaction with MDM2. Further, MDM4 overexpression and amplification have been observed in ...
