    • CHEK2 Mutations Affecting Kinase Activity Together With Mutations in TP53 Indicate a Functional Pathway Associated with Resistance to Epirubicin in Primary Breast Cancer 

      Chrisanthar, Ranjan; Knappskog, Stian; Løkkevik, Erik; Anker, Gun Birgitta; Østenstad, Bjørn; Lundgren, Steinar; Berge, Elisabet Ognedal; Risberg, Terje; Mjaaland, Ingvil; Mæhle, Lovise; Engebretsen, Lars Fredrik; Lillehaug, Johan; Lønning, Per Eystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)
      Background: Chemoresistance is the main obstacle to cure in most malignant diseases. Anthracyclines are among the main drugs used for breast cancer therapy and in many other malignant conditions. Single parameter analysis ...

    • Concomitant inactivation of the p53- and pRB- functional pathways predicts resistance to DNA damaging drugs in breast cancer in vivo 

      Knappskog, Stian; Berge, Elisabet Ognedal; Chrisanthar, Ranjan; Geisler, Stephanie; Staalesen, Vidar; Leirvaag, Beryl; Yndestad, Synnøve; de Faveri, Elise Norheim; Karlsen, Bård Ove; Wedge, David C.; Akslen, Lars A.; Lilleng, Peer Kåre; Løkkevik, Erik; Lundgren, Steinar; Østenstad, Bjørn; Risberg, Terje; Mjaaland, Ingvil; Aas, Turid; Lønning, Per Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Chemoresistance is the main obstacle to cancer cure. Contrasting studies focusing on single gene mutations, we hypothesize chemoresistance to be due to inactivation of key pathways affecting cellular mechanisms such as ...

    • Functional Analyses of Rare Germline Missense BRCA1 Variants Located within and outside Protein Domains with Known Functions 

      Hovland, Henrikke Nilsen; Mchaina, Eunice Kabanyana; Vetti, Hildegunn Høberg; Ariansen, Sarah Louise; Sjursen, Wenche; Van Ghelue, Marijke; Haukanes, Bjørn Ivar; Knappskog, Per Morten; Aukrust, Ingvild; Berge, Elisabet Ognedal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The BRCA1 protein is implicated in numerous important cellular processes to prevent genomic instability and tumorigenesis, and pathogenic germline variants predispose carriers to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). ...

    • Prenatal BRCA1 epimutations contribute significantly to triple-negative breast cancer development 

      Nikolaienko, Oleksii; Eikesdal, Hans Petter; Berge, Elisabet Ognedal; Gilje, Bjørnar; Lundgren, Steinar; Blix, Egil Støre; Espelid, Helge; Geisler, Jürgen; Geisler, Stephanie; Janssen, Emiel; Yndestad, Synnøve; Minsaas, Laura; Leirvaag, Beryl; Lillestøl, Reidun Kristine; Knappskog, Stian; Lønning, Per Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Normal cell BRCA1 epimutations have been associated with increased risk of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the fraction of TNBCs that may have BRCA1 epimutations as their underlying cause is ...

    • White blood cell BRCA1 promoter methylation status and ovarian cancer risk 

      Lønning, Per Eystein; Berge, Elisabet Ognedal; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Minsaas, Laura; Chrisanthar, Ranjan; Vetti, Hildegunn Høberg; Dulary, Cécile; Busato, Florence; Bjørneklett, Silje; Eriksen, Christine; Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Axcrona, Ulrika; Davidson, Ben; Bjørge, Line; Evans, D. Gareth; Howell, Anthony; Salvesen, Helga; Janszky, Imre; Hveem, Kristian; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Vatten, Lars Johan; Tost, Jörg; Dørum, Anne; Knappskog, Stian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background: The role of normal tissue gene promoter methylation in cancer risk is poorly understood. Objective: To assess associations between normal tissue BRCA1 methylation and ovarian cancer risk. Design: 2 ...
