preprint 2021
Prognostic and Immunological Significance of ARID1A Status in Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Carcinoma
·doi:10.1101/2021.09.16.21262993

Abstract ARID1A (BAF250a) is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin modifying complex, plays an important tumor suppressor role, and is considered prognostic in several malignancies. However, in ovarian carcinomas there are contradictory repo…

Validated biomarker assays confirm that ARID1A loss is confounded with MMR deficiency, CD8 + TIL infiltration, and provides no independent prognostic value in endometriosis‐associated ovarian carcinomas
The Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.1002/path.5849

Abstract ARID1A (BAF250a) is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin modifying complex, plays an important tumour suppressor role, and is considered prognostic in several malignancies. However, in ovarian carcinomas there are contradictory rep…
