      Helwa, Reham; Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Halle, Mari Kyllesø; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Vatten, Lars Johan; Dørum, Anne; Lønning, Per Eystein; Knappskog, Stian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background While large GWAS analyses have not found convincing associations between MDM2 promoter SNP55 and gynaecological cancers, SNP55 is in linkage disequilibrium with two other functional SNPs in the same promoter, ...
    • Impact of the APOBEC3A/B deletion polymorphism on risk of ovarian cancer 

      Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Sofiyeva, Nigar; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Vatten, Lars Johan; Dørum, Anne; Lønning, Per Eystein; Knappskog, Stian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      A germline 29.5-kb deletion variant removes the 3’ end of the APOBEC3A gene and a large part of APOBEC3B, creating a hybrid gene that has been linked to increased APOBEC3 activity and DNA damage in human cancers. We genotyped ...
    • MDM2 promoter polymorphism del1518 (rs3730485) and its impact on endometrial and ovarian cancer risk 

      Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Halle, Mari Kyllesø; Salvesen, Helga; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Vatten, Lars Johan; Dørum, Anne; Lønning, Per Eystein; Knappskog, Stian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background The del1518 (rs3730485) polymorphism is an in/del variant in the MDM2 promoter P1. The variant is in complete linkage disequilibrium with MDM2 SNP309 (rs2279744) and has previously been found associated with ...
    • MDM2 Promoter SNP344T>A (rs1196333) Status Does Not Affect Cancer Risk 

      Knappskog, Stian; Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Bjørnslett, Merete Pauline; Trovik, Jone; Sommerfelt-Pettersen, Jan; Løkkevik, Erik; Tollenaar, Rob A.E.M.; Seynaeve, Caroline; Devilee, Peter; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte; Dørum, Anne; Hveem, Kristian; Vatten, Lars Johan; Lønning, Per Eystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The MDM2 proto-oncogene plays a key role in central cellular processes like growth control and apoptosis, and the gene locus is frequently amplified in sarcomas. Two polymorphisms located in the MDM2 promoter P2 have been ...
    • Real-world data on niraparib maintenance treatment in patients with non-gBRCA mutated platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer 

      Elgaaen, Bente Vilming; Dahl, Jørgen Fallås; Bentzen, Anne Gry; Ingebrigtsen, Vibeke Anett; Nilsen, Elisabeth Berge; Vistad, Ingvild; Dørum, Anne; Popova, Olesya; Bjørge, Line; Zucknick, Manuela; Aune, Guro; Lindemann, Kristina Yvonne Kathe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Objectives The aim of this study was to provide real-world efficacy and safety data on niraparib maintenance treatment in patients with non-germline (gBRCA)1/2 mutated platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. Methods ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
