Outcome of osteoarthritis and arthroplasty from patient perspective to molecular profiling.
Jennifer Meessen | 26-09-2019 | Outcome of osteoarthritis and arthroplasty from patient perspective to molecular profiling With increasing life expectancy, the incidence and burden of osteoarthritis on society increases. Currently, no treatment for end-stage symptomatic osteoarthritis is available and when symptoms become too severe [...]
On the relation between genetic variation and osteoarthritis
Wouter den Hollander | 29-03-2018 | On the relation between genetic variation and osteoarthritis In dit proefschrift worden de moleculaire mechanismen behandeld die onderliggend zijn aan artrose. Specifiek wordt genoomwijd onderzocht welke genen anders tot expressie komen in aangedaan vergeleken met gezond kraakbeen van artrose [...]
Robust semi-supervised learning: projections, limits & constraints
Jesse Krijthe | 07-01-2018 | Robust semi-supervised learning: projections, limits & constraints In many domains of science and society, the amount of data being gathered is increasing rapidly. To estimate input-output relationships that are often of interest, supervised learning techniques rely on a specific [...]
Charting the dynamic methylome across the human lifespan
Roderik Slieker | 09-02-2017 | Charting the dynamic methylome across the human lifespan In this thesis we aimed to get insight in how the methylome is established during development and subsequently degenerates during ageing using an integrative approach to the analysis of DNA methylation [...]
Thyroid hormone signalling in Osteoarthritis: early life events in late life disease
Nils Bömer | 17-01-2017 | Thyroid hormone signalling in Osteoarthritis: early life events in late life disease The lifespan of an organism is determined by a complex network of environmental-, genetic- and stochastic factors. Each of these components contributes to the In the field of [...]
Algorithms for the Description of Molecular Sequences
Jonathan Vis | 21-12-2016 | Algorithms for the Description of Molecular Sequences Unambiguous sequence variant descriptions are important in reporting the outcome of clinical diagnostic DNA tests. The standard nomenclature of the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) describes the observed variant sequence relative to a given reference [...]
