  • A comprehensive assessment of somatic mutation detection in cancer using whole-genome sequencing
    Alioto, Tyler; Derdak, Sophia; Ribeca, Paolo; Castro Giner, Francesc; Beltran, Sergi; Raineri, Emanuele; Dabad, Marc; Heath, Simon; Gut, Marta; Gut, Ivo Glynne (Nature Research, 2015)
    As whole-genome sequencing for cancer genome analysis becomes a clinical tool, a full understanding of the variables affecting sequencing analysis output is required. Here using tumour-normal sample pairs from two different ...
  • Genetic and environmental factors in asthma: a population based European study
    Castro Giner, Francesc (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2011-04-12)
    L'asma és una malaltia d'etiologia complexa, formada per factors genètics i ambientals, on la interrelació de ambdós factors mitjançant interaccions gen-ambient juga un paper clau. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi ha sigut ...
  • High degree of polyclonality hinders somatic mutation calling in lung brush samples of COPD cases and controls
    Thun, Gian Andri; Derdak, Sophia; Castro Giner, Francesc; Apunte Ramos, Katherine; Águeda, Lidia; Gut, Marta; Gut, Ivo Glynne (Nature Research, 2019)
    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is induced by cigarette smoking and characterized by inflammation of airway tissue. Since smokers with COPD have a higher risk of developing lung cancer than those without, we ...
  • Interaction between gas cooking and GSTM1 null genotype in bronchial responsiveness: results from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey
    Amaral, André F. S.; Ramasamy, Adaikalavan; Castro Giner, Francesc; Minelli, Cosetta; Accordini, Simone; Sørheim, Inga-Cecilie; Pin, Isabelle; Kogevinas, Manolis; Jõgi, Rain; Balding, David J.; Norbäck, Dan; Verlato, Giuseppe; Olivieri, Mario; Probst-Hensch, Nicole; Janson, Christer; Zock, Jan-Paul; Heinrich, Joachim; Jarvis, Deborah (BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)
    Increased bronchial responsiveness is characteristic of asthma. Gas cooking, which is a major indoor source of the highly oxidant nitrogen dioxide, has been associated with respiratory symptoms and reduced lung function. ...
  • Traffic-related air pollution, oxidative stress genes, and asthma (ECHRS)
    Castro Giner, Francesc; Künzli, Nino; Jacquemin Leonard, Bénédicte; Forsberg, Bertil; Cid Ibeas, Rafael de; Sunyer Deu, Jordi; Jarvis, Deborah; Briggs, David; Vienneau, Danielle; Norbäck, Dan; Gonzalez, Juan Ramon; Guerra, Stefano; Janson, Christer; Antó i Boqué, Josep Maria; Wjst, Matthias; Heinrich, Joachim; Estivill, Xavier, 1955-; Kogevinas, Manolis (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), 2009)
    BACKGROUND: Traffic-related air pollution is related with asthma, and this association may be modified by genetic factors. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the role of genetic polymorphisms potentially modifying the association ...
