Fredrik Mertens - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Fredrik Mertens is affiliated with the Division of Clinical Genetics, Department of Laboratory Medicine at Lund University in Lund, Sweden. His research is primarily focused on the genetic aspects of various types of tumors, particularly those affecting soft tissue and bones. Mertens' work involves the use of advanced genomic and transcriptomic techniques to better understand tumor biology and to identify potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Research Contributions

Fredrik Mertens has made significant contributions to the field of cancer genetics. Notable among his recent works are studies on the diagnostic utility of DNA copy number analysis in tumors, the genomic and transcriptomic characterization of desmoplastic small round cell tumors, and the identification of potential treatment targets in rare cancers such as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. His research has also delved into the genetic features of various other tumors, leading to proposals for reclassification based on genetic data. Mertens has consistently contributed to the understanding of how genetic alterations drive tumor development and progression.
