- Electron analysis combined with ion mass spectrometry is shown to be a unique tool to understand fragmentation dynamics of core-excited molecules. This article describes in detail a new setup devoted to energy and angle correlations measurements between the emitted particles resulting from inner-shell ionization or excitation. The data collection system is based on a pair of position sensitive detectors mounted behind a double toroidal electron analyzer and a short time-of-flight ion spectrometer. Because all relevant information results in time measurements, a natural synchronization in the events recording is obtained. The optimized geometry for the ion extraction allows spatial focusing for the ion trajectories by means of inhomogeneous extraction fields while preserving the time focusing. The N-2 molecule has been used for full characterization of the setup whereas the CO2 Molecule illustrates the role of the intermediate resonant state in controlling the final dissociation pattern. The bending mode excitation is shown to emphasize the O+ production, and the ion kinetic energy distribution is rationalized through an impulsive model.

- Common variants in 94 loci have been associated with breast cancer including 15 loci with genome-wide significant associations (P<5 x 10(-8)) with oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer and BRCA1-associated breast cancer risk. In this study, to identify new ER-negative susceptibility loci, we performed a meta-analysis of 11 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) consisting of 4,939 ER-negative cases and 14,352 controls, combined with 7,333 ER-negative cases and 42,468 controls and 15,252 BRCA1 mutation carriers genotyped on the iCOGS array. We identify four previously unidentified loci including two loci at 13q22 near KLF5, a 2p23.2 locus near WDR43 and a 2q33 locus near PPIL3 that display genome-wide significant associations with ER-negative breast cancer. In addition, 19 known breast cancer risk loci have genome-wide significant associations and 40 had moderate associations (P<0.05) with ER-negative disease. Using functional and eQTL studies we implicate TRMT61B and WDR43 at 2p23.2 and PPIL3 at 2q33 in ER-negative breast cancer aetiology. All ER-negative loci combined account for similar to 11% of familial relative risk for ER-negative disease and may contribute to improved ER-negative and BRCA1 breast cancer risk prediction.

- Introduction: We investigate the CNTN5 rs1461684 G variant and the contactin 5 protein in sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD). Methods: Contactin 5, sAD biomarkers, and synaptic markers were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Amyloid and tau deposition were assessed using positron emission tomography. Contactin 5 protein and mRNA levels were measured in brain tissue. Results: CSF contactin 5 increases progressively in cognitively unimpaired individuals and is decreased in mild cognitive impairment and sAD. CSF contactin 5 correlates with sAD biomarkers and with synaptic markers. The rs1461684 G variant associates with faster disease progression in cognitively unimpaired subjects. Cortical full-length and isoform 3 CNTN5 mRNAs are decreased in the presence of the G allele and as a function of Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease stages. Discussion: The newly identified rs1461684 G variant associates with sAD risk, rate of disease progression, and gene expression. Contactin 5 protein and mRNA are affected particularly in the early stages of the disease.

- We have measured electron energy spectra and asymmetry parameters of Ar clusters and Xe clusters illuminated by intense x-rays at 5 and 5.5 keV. A velocity map imaging spectrometer was developed for this purpose and employed at an x-ray free-electron laser facility, SACLA in Japan. The cluster size dependence and the peak fluence dependence of the electron spectra and asymmetry parameters are discussed.

- Estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer shows a higher incidence in women of African ancestry compared to women of European ancestry. In search of common risk alleles for ER-negative breast cancer, we combined genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from women of African ancestry (1,004 ER-negative cases and 2,745 controls) and European ancestry (1,718 ER-negative cases and 3,670 controls), with replication testing conducted in an additional 2,292 ER-negative cases and 16,901 controls of European ancestry. We identified a common risk variant for ER-negative breast cancer at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus on chromosome 5p15 (rs10069690: per-allele odds ratio (OR) = 1.18 per allele, P = 1.0 x 10(-10)). The variant was also significantly associated with triple-negative (ER-negative, progesterone receptor (PR)-negative and human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2)-negative) breast cancer (OR = 1.25, P = 1.1 x 10(-9)), particularly in younger women (<50 years of age) (OR = 1.48, P = 1.9 x 10(-9)). Our results identify a genetic locus associated with estrogen receptor negative breast cancer subtypes in multiple populations.

- A four-element conical electron lens has been developed in view of its integration to a double toroidal electron energy analyzer (DTA) dedicated to Auger electron-ion coincidence measurements. The lens design, using electron trajectory numerical simulations, was entirely guided by the perspective of analyzing energetic electrons with high resolution in the multicoincidence regime. The design, construction, and experimental characterization stages of this electron optics system are described in this article. Emphasis is put on the importance of third generation synchrotron radiation sources when performing such multicoincidence experiments.

- We have studied the ultrafast dissociation of the H2S molecule upon S 2p(3/2)-> 6a(1) inner-shell excitation by combining high-resolution resonant Auger spectroscopy and energy-selected Auger electron-ion coincidence measurements. Auger final states have been correlated to the different fragmentation pathways (S+, HS+, and H2S+ ions). As an original result, we evidence a three-step mechanism to describe the resonant production of S+: the Auger recombination in the HS* fragment is followed for the A (3)Pi and c (1)Pi states by the S++H fragmentation mechanism.
