• openAccess   Genetic 3’UTR variation is associated with human pigmentation characteristics and sensitivity to sunlight 

      Hernando, Barbara; Peña-Chilet, Maria; Ibarrola-Villava, Maider; Martín González, Manuel; Gómez Fernández, Cristina; Ribas, Gloria; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado Wiley (2017-10)
      Sunlight exposure induces signalling pathways leading to the activation of melanin synthesis and tanning response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate the expression of genes involved in pigmentation pathways by binding to the ...
    • openAccess   Genetic variants in PARP1 (rs3219090) and IRF4 (rs12203592) genes associated with melanoma susceptibility in a Spanish population 

      Peña Chilet, María; Blanquer Maceiras, Maite; Ibarrola-Villava, Maider; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; Martín González, Manuel; Gómez Fernández, Cristina; Mayor, Matías; Avilés, Juan Antonio; Lluch , Ana; Ribas, Gloria BioMed Central (2013-03)
      Background Few high penetrance genes are known in Malignant Melanoma (MM), however, the involvement of low-penetrance genes such as MC1R, OCA2, ASIP, SLC45A2 and TYR has been observed. Lately, genome-wide association ...
    • openAccess   Involvement of ANXA5 and ILKAP in Susceptibility to Malignant Melanoma 

      Santos, Alonso; Ribas, Gloria; Ibarrola-Villava, Maider; Peña Chilet, María; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; Gardeazabal, Jesús; Careaga, Jesús María; Pérez-Yarza, Gorka; Sánchez-Díez, Ana; Ratón-Nieto, Juan Antonio; Arroyo-Berdgo, Yoana; Carretero, Gregorio; Martín González, Manuel; Gómez Fernández, Cristina; Nagore, Eduardo; Asumendi, Aintzane; Boyano, Dolores Public Library of Science (2014)
      Single nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) are a source of diversity among human population, which may be responsible for the different individual susceptibility to diseases and/or response to drugs, among other phenotypic ...
    • closedAccess   Long telomere length and a TERT-CLPTM1 locus polymorphism association with melanoma risk 

      Llorca-Cardeñosa, Marta J.; Peña Chilet, María; Mayor, Matías; Gómez Fernández, Cristina; Casado, Beatriz; Martín González, Manuel; Carretero, Gregorio; Lluch , Ana; Martinez-Cadenas, Conrado; Ibarrola-Villava, Maider; Ribas, Gloria Elsevier (2014)
      Telomere length has been associated with the development of cancer. Studies have shown that shorter telomere length may be related to a decreased risk of cutaneous melanoma. Furthermore, deregulation of the telomere-maintaining ...
