Genome-wide association studies of cancer: current insights and future perspectives.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-11-01)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide an agnostic approach for investigating the genetic basis of complex diseases. In oncology, GWAS of nearly all common malignancies have been performed, and over 450 genetic ... -
Genome-wide association study and meta-analysis in Northern European populations replicate multiple colorectal cancer risk loci.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)Genome-wide association studies have been successful in elucidating the genetic basis of colorectal cancer (CRC), but there remains unexplained variability in genetic risk. To identify new risk variants and to confirm ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for multiple myeloma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-07-01)Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy with a significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies have transformed our understanding of MM predisposition, but individual studies have had limited power ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies risk loci for progressive chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-01-28)Prognostication in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is challenging due to heterogeneity in clinical course. We hypothesize that constitutional genetic variation affects disease progression and could aid ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility loci for acute myeloid leukemia.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-10-29)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy with an undefined heritable risk. Here we perform a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies, with replication in a fourth study, incorporating a ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility loci for B-cell childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-04-09)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have advanced our understanding of susceptibility to B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL); however, much of the heritable risk remains unidentified. Here, we perform ... -
Genome-wide association study implicates immune dysfunction in the development of Hodgkin lymphoma.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-11-08)To further our understanding of inherited susceptibility to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), we performed a meta-analysis of 7 genome-wide association studies totaling 5325 HL cases and 22 423 control patients. We identify 5 new HL ... -
Genome-wide association study meta-analysis identifies three novel loci for circulating anti-Müllerian hormone levels in women.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-05-03)STUDY QUESTION: Can additional genetic variants for circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels be identified through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis including a large sample of premenopausal women? ... -
Genome-wide association study of anti-Müllerian hormone levels in pre-menopausal women of late reproductive age and relationship with genetic determinants of reproductive lifespan.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-04-15)Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is required for sexual differentiation in the fetus, and in adult females AMH is produced by growing ovarian follicles. Consequently, AMH levels are correlated with ovarian reserve, declining ... -
Genome-wide association study of classical Hodgkin lymphoma identifies key regulators of disease susceptibility.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-12-01)Several susceptibility loci for classical Hodgkin lymphoma have been reported. However, much of the heritable risk is unknown. Here, we perform a meta-analysis of two existing genome-wide association studies, a new genome-wide ... -
Genome-wide association study of germline variants and breast cancer-specific mortality.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-03-19)BACKGROUND: We examined the associations between germline variants and breast cancer mortality using a large meta-analysis of women of European ancestry. METHODS: Meta-analyses included summary estimates based on Cox models ... -
Genome-wide association study of glioma subtypes identifies specific differences in genetic susceptibility to glioblastoma and non-glioblastoma tumors.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-05-01)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of glioma susceptibility, but individual studies have had limited power to identify risk loci. We performed a meta-analysis of existing GWAS and two ... -
Genome-wide association study of immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis in three patient cohorts: comparison with myeloma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-08-01)Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by tissue deposition of amyloid fibers derived from immunoglobulin light chain. AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma (MM) originate from monoclonal gammopathy of ... -
Genome-wide association study of lung adenocarcinoma in East Asia and comparison with a European population.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-05-26)Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer. Known risk variants explain only a small fraction of lung adenocarcinoma heritability. Here, we conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study of lung ... -
Genome-wide barcoded transposon screen for cancer drug sensitivity in haploid mouse embryonic stem cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-01)We describe a screen for cellular response to drugs that makes use of haploid embryonic stem cells. We generated ten libraries of mutants with piggyBac gene trap transposon integrations, totalling approximately 100,000 ... -
Genome-wide characterization reveals complex interplay between TP53 and TP63 in response to genotoxic stress.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2014-01-01)In response to genotoxic stress the TP53 tumour suppressor activates target gene expression to induce cell cycle arrest or apoptosis depending on the extent of DNA damage. These canonical activities can be repressed by ... -
Genome-wide homozygosity signature and risk of Hodgkin lymphoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2015-09-22)Recent studies have reported that regions of homozygosity (ROH) in the genome are detectable in outbred populations and can be associated with an increased risk of malignancy. To examine whether homozygosity is associated ... -
