Somatic mutations of the Parkinson's disease-associated gene PARK2 in glioblastoma and other human malignanciesSelvaraju Veeriah
Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York, USA
Nat Genet 42:77-82. 2010..These data strongly point to PARK2 as a tumor suppressor on 6q25.2-q27. Thus, PARK2, a gene that causes neuronal dysfunction when mutated in the germline, may instead contribute to oncogenesis when altered in non-neuronal somatic cells...
Integrative genomic profiling of human prostate cancerBarry S Taylor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue, New York, NY 10065, USA

MYC cooperates with AKT in prostate tumorigenesis and alters sensitivity to mTOR inhibitorsNicola J Clegg
Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York, United States of America
PLoS ONE 6:e17449. 2011..Since increased MYC expression is an early feature of many human prostate cancers, these data have implications for treatment of human prostate cancers with PI3K-pathway alterations using mTOR inhibitors...
ZIC1 overexpression is oncogenic in liposarcomaElliott Brill
Department of Surgery, Computational Biology Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA
Cancer Res 70:6891-901. 2010..Our results show that ZIC1 expression is essential for liposarcomagenesis and that targeting ZIC1 or its downstream targets might lead to novel therapy for liposarcoma...
