    • BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in a South American population 
      Jara Sosa, Lilian; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Santibáñez, Eudocia; Seccia, Lorena; Rodríguez, Juan; Bustamante, Mario; Martínez, Víctor; Catenaccio, Alejandra; Lay-Son, Guillermo; Blanco Castillo, Rafael; Reyes, José Miguel (ELSEVIER, 2006-04-01)
      A sample of 64 high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer families from Chile were screened for germline mutations in the coding sequences and exon-intron boundaries of BRCA1 (MIN no. 113705) and BRCA2 (MIN no. 600185) genes ...
    • Comparison of virological profiles of respiratory syncytial virus and rhinovirus in acute lower tract ... 
      Luchsinger Farías, Vivian; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Chnaiderman Figueroa, Jonás; Levican, Jorge; Gaggero Brillouet, Aldo; Larrañaga Larrañaga, Carmen (Elsevier, 2014)
      Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and rhinovirus (HRV) are the main cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTIs) in infants. Viral and host-related risk factors for severe disease have also not ...
    • Dysregulation of mitotic machinery genes precedes genome instability during spontaneous pre-malignant ... 
      Urzúa, Ulises; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Roby, Katherine F.; Owens, Garrison A.; Munroe, David J. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)
      © 2016 The Author(s). Background: Based in epidemiological evidence, repetitive ovulation has been proposed to play a role in the origin of ovarian cancer by inducing an aberrant wound rupture-repair process of the ovarian ...
    • Human papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus infections in breast cancer from chile 
      Aguayo, Francisco; Khan, Noureen; Koriyama, Chihaya; González, Carolina; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Padilla, Oslando; Solís, Luisa; Eizuru, Yoshito; Corvalán, Alejandro; Akiba, Suminori (2011)
      Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV) have been found in breast carcinomas (BCs) around the world. In this study, fifty-five BCs from Chile were analyzed for HPV and EBV presence. In addition, ...
    • Merkel cell polyomavirus in non-small cell lung carcinomas from Chile 
      Gheit, Tarik; Muñoz, Juan Pablo; Levican, Jorge; González, Carolina; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Parra, Bárbara; Gaggero Brillouet, Aldo; Corvalán, Alejandro H.; Uribe Meneses, Manuel Ángel; Tommasino, Massimo; Aguayo, Francisco (2012)
      Lung cancer is a leading pathology strongly associated with the smoking habit. However, a viral etiology for a subset of patients developing lung cancer has been suggested. Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are small double stranded ...
    • Molecular analysis of the eighteen most frequent mutations in the BRCA 1 gene in 63 Chilean breast cancer families 
      Jara, Lilian; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Santibáñez, Eudocia; Seccia, Lorena; Rodríguez, Juan; Bustamante, Mario; Lay-Son, Guillermo; Ojeda, José Manuel; Reyes, José Miguel; Blanco, Rafael (Society of Biology of Chile, 2004)
      BRCA1 gene mutations account for nearly all families with multiple cases of both early onset breast and/or ovarian cancer and about 30% of hereditary breast cancer. Although to date more than 1,237 distinct mutations, ...
    • Population-based prevalence and age distribution of human papillomavirus among women in Santiago, Chile 
      Ferreccio, Catterina; Prado Buzeta, Rodrigo; Luzoro Vial, Amaranta; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Snijders, Peter J. F.; Meijer, Chris J. L. M.; Vaccarella, Salvatore V.; Jara, Alejandro T.; Puschel, Klaus I.; Robles, Sylvia C.; Herrero, Rolando; Franceschi, Silvia F.; Ojeda Fernández, José (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2004-12)
      More than 18 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) are associated with cervical cancer, the relative importance of the HPV types may vary in different populations. Objective: To investigate the types of HPV, age distribution, ...
    • RAD51 135G>C polymorphism and risk of familial breast cancer in a South American population 
      Jara, Lilian; Acevedo, Monica L.; Blanco, Rafael; Castro, Victor G.; Bravo, Teresa; Gómez, Fernando; Waugh, Enrique; Peralta, Octavio; Cabrera, Elsa; Reyes, José M.; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; González Hormazábal, Patricio (2007)
      Several studies have reported that mutations in genes involved in maintenance of genome integrity may be responsible for increased cancer risk. Human RAD51, known to function in DNA repair, interacts with a number of ...
    • Respiratory syncytial virus infection and recurrent wheezing in Chilean infants: A genetic background? 
      Tapia, Lorena I.; Ampuero Llanos, Sandra; Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Luchsinger Farías, Vivian; Aguilar, Nelson; Ayarza, Eliana; Mamani, Rossana; Larrañaga Jiménez, Carmen (Elsevier, 2013)
      Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has been associated to recurrent wheezing, but pathogenic mechanisms are unclear. Interleukin-4/Interleukin-13 (IL-4/IL-13) pathway is involved in both conditions. A common ...
