Genetic Alterations in Medulloblastomas - MLL Genes as Targets for Diagnosis and Therapeutics

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor of children. To identify the genetic alterations in this tumor type, we searched for copy number alterations using high density microarrays and sequenced all known protein-coding genes and miRNA genes using Sanger sequencing. We found that, on average, each tumor had 11 gene alterations,...

IDH1 Mutant Glioma Xenograft (JHH-273)

Invention Novelty: A stable, patient-derived IDH- 1 mutant glioma xenograft designed to evaluate potential IDH targeted drug therapies.Value Proposition: IDH-1 (Isocitrate Dehydrogenase) is a very common mutation observed in low-grade glioma tumors. Current IDH-mutated cell lines lack sufficient genetic characteristics similar to human pathologies and...

Protein Expression Markers for the Detection of Thyroid Cancer Metastasis

C10120: Protein Expression Markers for the Detection of Thyroid Cancer MetastasisValue Proposition: Difficulty in detecting recurrence of thyroid cancer in patients is a recognized medical problem. Present biomarkers for recurring thyroid cancer are not useful in a large proportion of patients with this cancer. These markers have the potential of being...
