A genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (2013)
Journal Article
Speedy, H. E., Di Bernardo, M. C., Sava, G. P., Dyer, M. J. S., Holroyd, A., Wang, Y., …Houlston, R. S. (2014). A genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Nature genetics, 46(1), 56-60. https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.2843

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have shown that common genetic variation contributes to the heritable risk of CLL. To identify additional CLL susceptibility loci, we conducted a GWAS and performed a meta-a...

Proteomic analysis of B-cell receptor signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia reveals a possible role for kininogen (2013)
Journal Article
Kashuba, E., Eagle, G. L., Bailey, J., Evans, P., Welham, K. J., Allsup, D., & Cawkwell, L. (2013). Proteomic analysis of B-cell receptor signaling in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia reveals a possible role for kininogen. Journal of Proteomics, 91, 478-485. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jprot.2013.08.002

CLL is an incurable disease with variable prognosis. The hyper reactivity of the B-cell receptor (BCR) to unknown antigen ligation plays a pivotal role in CLL-cell survival. We aimed to investigate the BCR signalling pathway using proteomics to ident...

The kinin–kallikrein system: physiological roles, pathophysiology and its relationship to cancer biomarkers (2013)
Journal Article
Kashuba, E., Bailey, J., Allsup, D., & Cawkwell, L. (2013). The kinin–kallikrein system: physiological roles, pathophysiology and its relationship to cancer biomarkers. Biomarkers, 18(4), 279-296. https://doi.org/10.3109/1354750x.2013.787544

The kinin–kallikrein system (KKS) is an endogenous multiprotein cascade, the activation of which leads to triggering of the intrinsic coagulation pathway and enzymatic hydrolysis of kininogens with the consequent release of bradykinin-related peptide...

The automated monocyte count is independently predictive of overall survival from diagnosis in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and of survival following first-line chemotherapy (2013)
Journal Article
Mazumdar, R., Evans, P., Culpin, R., Bailey, J., & Allsup, D. (2013). The automated monocyte count is independently predictive of overall survival from diagnosis in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and of survival following first-line chemotherapy. Leukemia Research, 37(6), 614-618. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.leukres.2013.02.020

We conducted an analysis of the effect of monocytosis at diagnosis of CLL on subsequent overall (OS) and treatment-free survival (TFS). Monocyte counts were performed using the Sysmex XE2100™ analyser. A monocyte count >0.91×109L-1 at the time of dia...
