Risk of breast cancer in men in relation to weight change: A national case-control study in England and Wales.
Swerdlow, AJ; Bruce, C; Cooke, R; Coulson, P; Schoemaker, MJ; et al. (WILEY, 2022-06-01)Breast cancer is uncommon in men and knowledge about its causation limited. Obesity is a risk factor but there has been no investigation of whether weight change is an independent risk factor, as it is in women. In a ... -
Smoking and risk of breast cancer in the Generations Study cohort.
Jones, ME; Schoemaker, MJ; Wright, LB; Ashworth, A; Swerdlow, AJ (BMC, 2017-11-22)BACKGROUND: Plausible biological reasons exist regarding why smoking could affect breast cancer risk, but epidemiological evidence is inconsistent. METHODS: We used serial questionnaire information from the Generations ... -
The BRCA2 c.68-7T > A variant is not pathogenic: A model for clinical calibration of spliceogenicity.
Colombo, M; Lòpez-Perolio, I; Meeks, HD; Caleca, L; Parsons, MT; et al. (WILEY, 2018-05-01)Although the spliceogenic nature of the BRCA2 c.68-7T > A variant has been demonstrated, its association with cancer risk remains controversial. In this study, we accurately quantified by real-time PCR and digital PCR ... -
The Premenopausal Breast Cancer Collaboration: A Pooling Project of Studies Participating in the National Cancer Institute Cohort Consortium.
Nichols, HB; Schoemaker, MJ; Wright, LB; McGowan, C; Brook, MN; et al. (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)Breast cancer is a leading cancer diagnosis among premenopausal women around the world. Unlike rates in postmenopausal women, incidence rates of advanced breast cancer have increased in recent decades for premenopausal ... -
Timing of pubertal stages and breast cancer risk: the Breakthrough Generations Study.
Bodicoat, DH; Schoemaker, MJ; Jones, ME; McFadden, E; Griffin, J; et al. (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014-02-04)INTRODUCTION: Breast development and hormonal changes at puberty might affect breast cancer risk, but epidemiological analyses have focussed largely on age at menarche and not at other pubertal stages. METHODS: We investigated ... -
Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Identifies New Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Glioma.
Atkins, I; Kinnersley, B; Ostrom, QT; Labreche, K; Il'yasova, D; et al. (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-04-15)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have so far identified 25 loci associated with glioma risk, with most showing specificity for either glioblastoma (GBM) or non-GBM tumors. The majority of these GWAS susceptibility ... -
Transcriptome-wide association study of breast cancer risk by estrogen-receptor status.
Feng, H; Gusev, A; Pasaniuc, B; Wu, L; Long, J; et al. (WILEY, 2020-07-01)Previous transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have identified breast cancer risk genes by integrating data from expression quantitative loci and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but analyses of breast cancer ... -
Two truncating variants in FANCC and breast cancer risk.
Dörk, T; Peterlongo, P; Mannermaa, A; Bolla, MK; Wang, Q; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-08-29)Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with 22 disease-causing genes reported to date. In some FA genes, monoallelic mutations have been found to be associated with breast cancer risk, while the risk ... -
Ultrasound Tomography Evaluation of Breast Density: A Comparison With Noncontrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
OʼFlynn, EAM; Fromageau, J; Ledger, AE; Messa, A; DʼAquino, A; et al. (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-06-01)OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound tomography (UST) is an emerging whole-breast 3-dimensional imaging technique that obtains quantitative tomograms of speed of sound of the entire breast. The imaged parameter is the speed of sound ...
