When a patient suffering or thought to be suffering from cancer is cared for, samples are often taken to determine the precise diagnosis and to determine any treatment necessary. After this essential stage of the patient''s care, unused biological material is sometimes left over. This material is an essential and precious tool for research into cancer. For this reason, patients can decide to make the material available to researchers the world over who study either the development mechanism of cancer or the new treatments available. Residual samples are centralized and stored in the Tumor Bank at the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc Cancer Centre. The research carried out on this material primarily benefits cancer patients. It can help improve existing treatments or discover new drugs, and also allows new diagnostic tools to be tested. Any financial profits obtained from assessing the results obtained are entirely reinvested in the work of the Cancer Centre''s Tumour Bank and in new research projects at the Catholic University of Louvain. Using and sharing material, and verification and retrospective analysis of clinical data, all comply with strict rules. As with donations of blood, marrow or organs, an Ethics Committee oversees the operations of the Tumour Bank and research projects. This committee is responsible for ensuring compliance with current Belgian and legal texts, especially those concerning the protection of patient privacy and rights.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 3rd,2023. Recently it has been discovered that specific Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) may elevate the risk of developing prostate cancer. This study aims at investigating whether it is possible to use these SNPs in a clinical setting in order to sharpen the diagnostic tools when investigating if a man has prostate cancer. By collecting blood from men who have undergone a needle biopsy of the prostate and do a SNP analysis of their genes and compare this with the result of the biopsy and PSA result we hope to be able to develop a test that is more specific than the routine that is being used today. Sample types: * EDTA whole blood * DNA Number of sample donors: 5321 (June 2010)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 2, 2016. Cardiovascular disease and periodontitis are common diseases, causing considerable suffering and costs. Despite strong links between the two diseases it is unclear if periodontitis causes cardiovascular disease. The primary aims are to investigate whether periodontitis is a risk factor for the development of myocardial infarction and if periodontitis increases the risk for new cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke and death in patients with a previous myocardial infarction. PAROKRANK is a case control study. Cases (n=1500) are patients with a first myocardial infarction and controls population derived people without cardiovascular disease(n=1500). Both groups are subjected to predefined dental examinations, analyses of a variety of risk factors and a biobank of blood and dental samples will be established. Information is collected from available registries (RIKS-HIA and SEPHIA) and study specific records.

Create knockout alleles in protein coding genes in the zebrafish genome, using a combination of whole exome enrichment and Illumina next generation sequencing, with the aim to cover them all. Each allele created is analyzed for morphological differences and published on the ZMP site. Transcript counting is performed on alleles with a morphological phenotype. Alleles generated are archived and can be requested from this site through the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC). You may register to receive updates on genes of interest, or browse a complete list, or search by Ensembl ID, gene name or human and mouse orthologue.

https://nfregistry.patientcrossroads.org/

A patient registry to identify people with neurofibromatosis (NF) who are interested in participating in clinical trials, as well as determining the commonality of specific characteristics of NF. The NF Registry is committed to secure methodologies and pioneering research that will lead to improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by NF. This registry has been created to collect data on large numbers of people with NF. This has never existed before and will help: * Identify people who may be eligible for clinical trials or other research studies being conducted in the field of NF. New clinical trials are launched each year yet challenges identifying participants too often mean that these studies finish late or never really get started. Today, 80 percent of trials fail to recruit enough volunteers within planned timelines. Under enrollment is one of the most significant problems facing NF drug development. Together, we can solve it. * Determine the commonality of specific NF characteristics. This will help researchers and doctors devise better ways to care for people with NF If you or your child has been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF) please join the NF Registry today. It''s quick, it''s easy, and it matters. The key to treatments lies within you researchers can''t deliver treatments without committed volunteers.

http://www.procap.ki.se/procap_studie_info.htm

PROCAP is a study of the importance of lifestyle and genetic factors in the progression of localized cancer of the prostate. Our study hypothesis is that the likelihood of disease recurrence of prostate cancer is modified or determined by genetic variation in the human genome and/or lifestyle factors. To be able to test our hypothesis, we are using a large, population-based cohort of men with localized prostate cancer in Sweden, recruited in 1997-2002, from which detailed clinical information and data on progression already have been collected. From this cohort, we are collecting lifestyle data and blood samples from 8,500 men. If men with progressive prostate cancer could be identified on their genetic make-up, they could be given additional therapies targeted specifically at prostate cancer progression or monitored even more frequently so that progressions could be treated even earlier. If lifestyle factors are important, these results have an impact on recommendations given to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. In the study, we are asking the study persons to fill in an Internet-based questionnaire focusing on diet and physical activity and we ask them to leave 2 test tubes of blood at their local urologist/health care center. The pilot study has recently been completed and evaluated and the remaining 7,500 men in the cohort will be included during 2007 and 2008. So far, we have a response rate of approximately 85% on the blood samples. The response rate for the questionnaire is approximately 80% (both in the web based and paper based versions combined). Genotyping and analysis will begin in the fall of 2008. Sample types: * EDTA whole blood * Plasma * DNA Number of sample donors: 5492 (sample collection completed)

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 3rd,2023. We have completed the recruitment of this population-based prostate cancer case-control study, one of the largest prostate cancer case-control study populations available so far. This study population was recruited in two phases. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were the same for the first (CAPS1) and second phase (CAPS2), except for the timeframe. In total, 3,030 cases and 1,960 controls participated in CAPS donating blood samples and answering a questionnaire during 2001-2003. In addition we have detailed clinical information on all 3,000 cases. With data generated from CAPS we have 25 published papers and 10 manuscripts since 2004. During 2006 we completed a record linkage to the Cause of Death Registry to determine the cause of death for all participants. We could conclude that 347 of the cases in CAPS had died of prostate cancer. The CAPS study has provided data to several new studies on markers on prostate cancer progression. Sample types: * EDTA whole blood * DNA Number of sample donors: 5015 (sample collection completed)
