Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Several prototypes of the Transition Radiation Tracker for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC have been built and tested at the CERN SPS accelerator. Results from detailed studies of the straw-tube hit registration efficiency and drift-time measurements and of the pion and electron spectra without and with radiators are presented.

- The ATLAS Inner Detector consists of three sub-systems, the Pixel Detector at the innermost radius, the Semi-Conductor Tracker at intermediate radii, and the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) at the outermost radius in front of the electromagnetic calorimeter. The TRT provides a combination of continuous tracking with many projective measurements based on individual drift-tubes (or straws) and of electron identification based on radiator fibres or foils interleaved between the straws themselves. This paper describes the current status of design and construction of the various components of the TRT: the assembly of the barrel modules has recently been completed, that of the end-cap wheels is well underway, and the on-detector front-end electronics is in production. The detector modules and front-end electronics boards will be integrated together over the next year, the barrel and end-cap TRT parts will be assembled and tested with their SCT counterparts during 2005 and installation and commissioning in the ATLAS pit will take place at the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006.

- A prototype of the Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) for the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC has been built and tested at the CERN SPS. Detailed studies of the drift-time measurements, alignment technique, hit registration efficiency, track and momentum accuracy were performed. A coordinate measurement accuracy of 150 Pin for a single TRT drift tube and momentum resolution of 0.8% for 20 GeV pions in a 1.56 T magnetic field were achieved. The results obtained are in agreement with the expected tracking performance of the ATLAS TRT. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

- The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) was launched to coordinate large-scale cancer genome studies in tumours from 50 different cancer types and/or subtypes that are of clinical and societal importance across the globe. Systematic studies of more than 25,000 cancer genomes at the genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic levels will reveal the repertoire of oncogenic mutations, uncover traces of the mutagenic influences, define clinically relevant subtypes for prognosis and therapeutic management, and enable the development of new cancer therapies.

Deletions on chromosome 4 in sporadic and BRCA mutated tumors and association with pathological variables

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Chromosomal aberrations in breast tumors from BRCA1 and BRCA2 germ-line mutation carriers are considerably more frequent than what is seen in sporadic breast tumors. According to Comparative Genomic Hybridisation analysis (CGH), deletions on chromosome 4 are one of the most frequent events in BRCA1-associated tumors, suggesting inactivation of specific tumor suppressor genes. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 16 microsatellite markers covering chromosome 4 were used to map loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumors from BRCA1 (n =41) as well as in tumors from BRCA2 (n = 66) mutation carriers and in tumors from unselected cases of breast cancer (n = 68). Results: The frequency of LOH in these groups ranged from 16-73% in BRCA1-associated tumors, 13-42% in BRCA2-associated tumors and 8-33% in unselected tumors. LOH was significantly more frequent in BRCA1-associated tumors as compared to BRCA2-associated tumors and unselected tumors, and particularly high (over 70%) at 4q35.2. Pathological variables that were found significantly associated (pless than or equal to0.05) with LOH at specific markers were: high percentage of cells in S-phase, negative estrogen receptor status, young age at diagnosis and large tumors. Deletion mapping indicates the existence of seven non-overlapping regions at chromosome 4, which were identified in all three groups of tumors. Three of these seven regions, 4p16.3-p16.1, 4q27-q32.1 and 4q35.1-4qter, have not been reported in breast cancer previously. Conclusion: The results manifest the frequent alterations of chromosome 4 in BRCA1-associated breast tumors and indicate the location of several genes of potential importance in breast cancer development.
