Phase II trial of docetaxel and carboplatin in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, peritoneal and tubal cancer
2007
Abstract Objective. Docetaxel and carboplatin are active in relapsed ovarian, peritoneal and tubal cancer. Recently, two prospective-randomized trials showed an advantage of carboplatin combination regimen with paclitaxel or gemcitabine over carboplatinum alone in platinum-sensitive cases. The question on the most effective combination with the best tolerable side effects still needs to be answered. Methods. Eligible patients had recurrent ovarian, peritoneal or tubal cancer (platinum-free interval >6 months), performance status 0–2 and normal bone marrow, renal and hepatic function. 25 patients (age 18–75 years) were enrolled into this phase II trial. Patients with debulking operation of r…
<i>GJB2</i> Mutations and Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in 335 Patients from Germany with Nonsyndromic Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Evide…
2009
We report on 335 patients (319 families) with mild-to-profound nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss. We identified 178 mutated <i>GJB2</i> alleles representing 29 different sequence changes (including 3 novel mutations: Q7P, N14D, H100Q), and 2 alleles with the deletion del(GJB6-D13S1830) of the <i>GJB6</i> gene. Eleven <i>GJB2</i> mutations (119 mutated alleles) were truncating (T), and 18 mutations (59 alleles) were nontruncating (NT). Biallelic <i>GJB2</i> mutations were found in 71 patients (21.2%; 67 families; 25 different genotypes). Audiograms of 62 patients (56 families) with biallelic <i>GJB2</i> mutations typically ind…
