BARDiag - Biomarker tests for early cancer detection (BARDiag)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

Colorectal cancer and lung cancer cause millions of death each year. Currently there is no suitable non-invasive method for the early detection of these types of cancer. The tumour suppressor gene BARD1 (BRCA1-associated RING domain protein) is aberrantly expressed in several types of cancer and could be a diagnostic target for early cancer diagnosis in blood samples. The overall objective of the ...

Natural course, pathophysiology, models for early diagnosis, prevention and innovative treatment of TNF Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome TRAPS with application for all hereditary recurrent fevers (EUROTRAPS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

The TNF Receptor Associated Syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare disease of innate immunity, caused by mutations in TNFR1. It is characterised by recurrent bouts of fever and pain and mainly affects patients of European ancestry. The development of renal amyloidosis in up to 20% of cases makes it a potentially fatal disease. Corticosteroids and anti-TNF therapeutics have not been consistently effective in c ...
