Date:1/12/2009

inherited diseases that do not have single-gene binary switches and result from more complex genetic interactions. Potential research candidates could include lung, breast or colon cancers, as well as inherited diseases outside the realm of cancer such as autoimmune disorders.

Additional co-authors of the paper were: Minh D. To of the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Surgery; Jesus Perez-Losada of the Departamento de Medicina, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Salamanca; Facundo G. Pelorosso of the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center; Jian-Hua Mao of the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Life Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley; Hiroki Nagase of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Nihon University, and David Ginzinger of the UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The study was funded primarily by the National Cancer Institute. Additional funding for the research or personnel involved in the research came from the Sandler Foundation postdoctoral research fellowship program, the Spanish Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia, the European Community, the Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias and Junta de Castilla y Leon.

UCSF is a leading university dedicated to promoting health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care.
