To identify further cancer risk-modifying loci, we performed a multi-stage GWAS of 11,705 BRCA1 carriers (of whom 5,920 were diagnosed with breast and 1,839 were diagnosed with ovarian cancer), with a further replication in an additional sample of 2,646 BRCA1 carriers. We identified a novel breast cancer risk modifier locus at 1q32 for BRCA1 carriers (rs2290854, P = 2.7 x 10(-8), HR = 1.14, 95\% CI: 1.09-1.20). In addition, we identified two novel ovarian cancer risk modifier loci: 17q21.31 (rs17631303, P = 1.4 x 10(-8), HR = 1.27, 95\% CI: 1.17-1.38) and 4q32.3 (rs4691139, P = 3.4 x 10(-8), HR = 1.20, 95\% CI: 1.17-1.38). The 4q32.3 locus was not associated with ovarian cancer risk in the general population or BRCA2 carriers, suggesting a BRCA1-specific association. The 17q21.31 locus was also associated with ovarian cancer risk in 8,211 BRCA2 carriers (P = 2 x 10(-4)). These loci may lead to an improved understanding of the etiology of breast and ovarian tumors in BRCA1 carriers. Based on the joint distribution of the known BRCA1 breast cancer risk-modifying loci, we estimated that the breast cancer lifetime risks for the 5\% of BRCA1 carriers at lowest risk are 28\%-50\% compared to 81\%-100\% for the 5\% at highest risk. Similarly, based on the known ovarian cancer risk-modifying loci, the 5\% of BRCA1 carriers at lowest risk have an estimated lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer of 28\% or lower, whereas the 5\% at highest risk will have a risk of 63\% or higher. Such differences in risk may have important implications for risk prediction and clinical management for BRCA1 carriers.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Johannes2006, author = {Johannes, Silvia}, title = {NADPH-Diaphorase-positive putaminale Interneurone : Morphologie und Stereologie bei Gesunden und Schizophrenen}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-26158}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Die NADPHd-F{\"a}rbung stellt bekanntermaßen Neurone dar, die die neuronale NOS exprimieren. Die Anf{\"a}rbung der Neurone ist in ihrer Qualit{\"a}t dabei mit Golgi-basierten Versilberungstechniken vergleichbar. Aufgrund dieser Eigenschaften erm{\"o}glicht diese Methode morphologische und funktionelle Untersuchungen. Somit ist sie geradezu zur Bearbeitung neuropathologischer Fragestellungen pr{\"a}destiniert. Im Putamen werden durch diese Technik vorwiegend Interneurone angef{\"a}rbt. Anhand morphologischer Kriterien wurden die nitrinergen Neurone klassifiziert. Im menschlichen Putamen konnten dabei 12 Neuronentypen (NADPHd I bis XII) unterschieden werden, die nur zum Teil in bereits bestehende Klassifikationssysteme eingeordnet werden konnten. Ausgehend von dieser Klassifikation ist es m{\"o}glich, in vergleichenden Studien Ver{\"a}nderungen NADPHd-positiver Neurone im Rahmen neurodegenerativer Erkrankungen festzustellen. Im Falle der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde dabei das Putamen schizophrener Patienten untersucht. Aufgrund der geringen Anzahl von drei untersuchten schizophrenen Gehirnen ließen sich nur vorl{\"a}ufige Aussagen in Bezug auf Unterschiede NADPHd-positiver Neurone im Putamen Gesunder und Schizophrener treffen. Solche Unterschiede wurden in der Morphologie dieser Neurone gefunden, aber auch in deren Dichte: Im Putamen Schizophrener lag die Dichte NADPHd-positiver Neurone signifikant unter der bei der gesunden Kontrollgruppe ermittelten Dichte. Neben diesem numerischen Unterschied konnten auch morphologisch auff{\"a}llige Neurone gefunden werden, die in der gesunden Kontrollgruppe nicht vorhanden waren. Sowohl im Claustrum als auch in der das Claustrum umgebenden weißen Substanz der Capsulae externa et extrema konnten NADPHd-positive Neurone nachgewiesen werden. Die NADPHd-positiven Neurone des Claustrums ließen sich zum Teil nach bereits bestehenden Einteilungen klassifizieren.

While regarded as a distinct entity by some authorities including the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man catalog of genetic disorders, others consider COMA merely a clinical symptom. Methods We performed a retrospective multicenter data collection study with re-evaluation of clinical and neuroimaging data of 21 previously unreported patients (8 female, 13 male, ages ranging from 2 to 24 years) diagnosed as having COMA. Results Ocular motor apraxia (OMA) was recognized during the first year of life and confined to horizontal pursuit in all patients. OMA attenuated over the years in most cases, regressed completely in two siblings, and persisted unimproved in one individual. Accompanying clinical features included early onset ataxia in most patients and cognitive impairment with learning disability (n = 6) or intellectual disability (n = 4). Re-evaluation of MRI data sets revealed a hitherto unrecognized molar tooth sign diagnostic for Joubert syndrome in 11 patients, neuroimaging features of Poretti-Boltshauser syndrome in one case and cerebral malformation suspicious of a tubulinopathy in another subject. In the remainder, MRI showed vermian hypo-/dysplasia in 4 and no abnormalities in another 4 patients. There was a strong trend to more severe cognitive impairment in patients with Joubert syndrome compared to those with inconclusive MRI, but otherwise no significant difference in clinical phenotypes between these two groups. Conclusions Systematical renewed analysis of neuroimaging data resulted in a diagnostic reappraisal in the majority of patients with early-onset OMA in the cohort reported here. This finding poses a further challenge to the notion of COMA constituting a separate entity and underlines the need for an expert assessment of neuroimaging in children with COMA, especially if they show cognitive impairment.}, language = {en} } @article{SteigerwaldMuellerJohannesetal.2016, author = {Steigerwald, Frank and M{\"u}ller, Lorenz and Johannes, Silvia and Matthies, Cordula and Volkmann, Jens}, title = {Directional deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus: a pilot study using a novel neurostimulation device}, series = {Movement Disorders}, volume = {31}, journal = {Movement Disorders}, number = {8}, doi = {10.1002/mds.26669}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-187683}, pages = {1240-1243}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Introduction A novel neurostimulation system allows steering current in horizontal directions by combining segmented leads and multiple independent current control. The aim of this study was to evaluate directional DBS effects on parkinsonian motor features and adverse effects of subthalamic neurostimulation. Methods Seven PD patients implanted with the novel directional DBS system for bilateral subthalamic DBS underwent an extended monopolar review session during the first postoperative week, in which current thresholds were determined for rigidity control and stimulation-induced adverse effects using either directional or ring-mode settings. Results Effect or adverse effect thresholds were modified by directional settings for each of the 14 STN leads. Magnitude of change varied markedly between leads, as did orientation of optimal horizontal current steering. Conclusion Directional current steering through chronically implanted segmented electrodes is feasible, alters adverse effect and efficacy thresholds in a highly individual manner, and expands the therapeutic window in a monopolar review as compared to ring-mode DBS.}, language = {en} } @article{MunawarZhouPrommersbergeretal.2023, author = {Munawar, Umair and Zhou, Xiang and Prommersberger, Sabrina and Nerreter, Silvia and Vogt, Cornelia and Steinhardt, Maximilian J. and Truger, Marietta and Mersi, Julia and Teufel, Eva and Han, Seungbin and Haertle, Larissa and Banholzer, Nicole and Eiring, Patrick and Danhof, Sophia and Navarro-Aguadero, Miguel Angel and Fernandez-Martin, Adrian and Ortiz-Ruiz, Alejandra and Barrio, Santiago and Gallardo, Miguel and Valeri, Antonio and Castellano, Eva and Raab, Peter and Rudert, Maximilian and Haferlach, Claudia and Sauer, Markus and Hudecek, Michael and Martinez-Lopez, J. and Waldschmidt, Johannes and Einsele, Hermann and Rasche, Leo and Kort{\"u}m, K.

Monoclonal antibodies, immunoconjugates, T-cell engaging antibodies and CART cells have been incorporated into routine treatment algorithms, resulting in improved response rates. Nevertheless, patients continue to relapse and the underlying mechanisms of resistance remain poorly understood. While Impaired death receptor signaling has been reported to mediate resistance to CART in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, this mechanism yet remains to be elucidated in context of novel immunotherapies for MM. Here, we describe impaired death receptor signaling as a novel mechanism of resistance to T-cell mediated immunotherapies in MM. This resistance seems exclusive to novel immunotherapies while sensitivity to conventional anti-tumor therapies being preserved in vitro. As a proof of concept, we present a confirmatory clinical case indicating that the FADD/BID axis is required for meaningful responses to novel immunotherapies thus we report impaired death receptor signaling as a novel resistance mechanism to T-cell mediated immunotherapy in MM.}, language = {en} }
