“…MR analyses have helped elucidate proteins that regulate tumour-associated phenotypes as diverse as predisposition 40,44 , subtype-specific tumorigenesis 10,43,50,51 , progression to aggressive or metastatic disease 9,11,12,45,47,52 , stroma-specific regulation of tumour outcome 41 and drug resistance 29,30 , most of which have been experimentally validated. In addition, their use in non-cancer phenotypes has helped to elucidate an equivalent disease checkpoint architecture in neurological phenotypes — including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) 53 , Alzheimer disease 7,54 , Parkinson disease 55 and alcohol addiction 56 — and in developmental phenotypes, from regulation of germinal centre formation 39 to stem cell pluripotency 57 .…”
