NALP3 inflammasome upregulation and CASP1 cleavage of the glucocorticoid receptor cause glucocorticoid resistance in leukemia cells

…, C Cheng, W Yang, SE Karol, CA Fernandez… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Glucocorticoids are universally used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL),
and resistance to glucocorticoids in leukemia cells confers poor prognosis. To elucidate …

Clinical utility and implications of asparaginase antibodies in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

C Liu, JD Kawedia, C Cheng, D Pei, CA Fernandez… - Leukemia, 2012 - nature.com
Hypersensitivity to asparaginase is common, but the differential diagnosis can be challenging
and the diagnostic utility of antibody tests is unclear. We studied allergic reactions and …

Genetics of glucocorticoid-associated osteonecrosis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

…, C Cheng, D Pei, CA Fernandez… - Blood, The Journal …, 2015 - ashpublications.org
Glucocorticoids are important therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their major
adverse effect is osteonecrosis. Our goal was to identify genetic and nongenetic risk factors …

HLA-DRB1*07:01 is associated with a higher risk of asparaginase allergies

CA Fernandez, C Smith, W Yang… - Blood, The Journal …, 2014 - ashpublications.org
Asparaginase is a therapeutic enzyme used to treat leukemia and lymphoma, with immune
responses resulting in suboptimal drug exposure and a greater risk of relapse. To elucidate …

A clinician‐driven automated system for integration of pharmacogenetic interpretations into an electronic medical record

…, W Yang, C Smith, CA Fernandez… - Clinical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Advances in pharmacogenetic testing will expand the number of clinically important
pharmacogenetic variants. Communication and interpretation of these test results are critical steps in …

Dexamethasone exposure and asparaginase antibodies affect relapse risk in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

…, C Liu, D Pei, C Cheng, CA Fernandez… - Blood, The Journal …, 2012 - ashpublications.org
We have previously hypothesized that higher systemic exposure to asparaginase may cause
increased exposure to dexamethasone, both critical chemotherapeutic agents for acute …

Genome-wide analysis links NFATC2 with asparaginase hypersensitivity

CA Fernandez, C Smith, W Yang… - Blood, The Journal …, 2015 - ashpublications.org
Asparaginase is used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); however, hypersensitivity
reactions can lead to suboptimal asparaginase exposure. Our objective was to use a …

Genetic risk factors for the development of osteonecrosis in children under age 10 treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia

…, CC Liu, LB Ramsey, CA Fernandez… - Blood, The Journal …, 2016 - ashpublications.org
