    BMC Med Genomics 5:60. 2012
    ..STS can be classified into two main categories according to the type of genomic alteration: recurrent translocation driven STS, and non-recurrent translocations. However, little has known about acquired uniparental disomy in STS...

    Breast Cancer Res Treat 132:189-96. 2012
    ..We thus conclude that aUPD is a frequent event in breast cancer and that aUPD at specific regions in the genome has implications in this disease...

    Musaffe Tuna
    Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 5:e15094. 2010
    ..A novel form of abnormality called acquired uniparental disomy (aUPD) was recently found to pinpoint the region of mutated genes in various cancers, thereby identifying the region for next-generation sequencing...

    Oncogene 24:1648-52. 2005
    ..Our data indicate that HER2/neu engages Akt to increase WT1 expression, and that WT1 protein plays a vital role in regulating cell cycle progression and apoptosis in HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells...
