Cancer incidence and mortality in 23 000 patients with type 1 diabetes in the UK: Long-term follow-up.
(WILEY, 2023-08-01)
Type 2 diabetes is associated with raised risk of several cancers, but for type 1 diabetes risk data are fewer and inconsistent We assembled a cohort of 23 473 UK patients with insulin-treated diabetes diagnosed at ages ...
Risk of second primary cancer among women in the Kaiser Permanente Breast Cancer Survivors Cohort.
(BMC, 2023-05-03)
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer survivors are living longer due to early detection and advances in treatment and are at increased risk for second primary cancers. Comprehensive evaluation of second cancer risk among patients ...
Genetically predicted physical activity levels are associated with lower colorectal cancer risk: a Mendelian randomisation study.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-03-30)
BACKGROUND: We conducted a Mendelian randomisation (MR) study to investigate whether physical activity (PA) causes a reduction of colorectal cancer risk and to understand the contributions of effects mediated through changes ...
Search for AL amyloidosis risk factors using Mendelian randomization.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-07-13)
In amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis, amyloid fibrils derived from immunoglobulin light chain are deposited in many organs, interfering with their function. The etiology of AL amyloidosis is poorly understood. Summary ...
Genome-wide interaction analysis of menopausal hormone therapy use and breast cancer risk among 62,370 women.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-04-13)
Use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is associated with increased risk for breast cancer. However, the relevant mechanisms and its interaction with genetic variants are not fully understood. We conducted a genome-wide ...
Evaluating Germline Testing Panels in Southern African Males With Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(HARBORSIDE PRESS, 2023-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Germline testing for prostate cancer is on the increase, with clinical implications for risk assessment, treatment, and management. Regardless of family history, NCCN recommends germline testing for patients ...
An integrative multi-omics analysis to identify candidate DNA methylation biomarkers related to prostate cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-08-06)
It remains elusive whether some of the associations identified in genome-wide association studies of prostate cancer (PrCa) may be due to regulatory effects of genetic variants on CpG sites, which may further influence ...
Rare germline copy number variants (CNVs) and breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-01-18)
Germline copy number variants (CNVs) are pervasive in the human genome but potential disease associations with rare CNVs have not been comprehensively assessed in large datasets. We analysed rare CNVs in genes and non-coding ...
Relationship of self-reported body size and shape with risk for prostate cancer: A UK case-control study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2020-09-17)
INTRODUCTION: Previous evidence has suggested a relationship between male self-reported body size and the risk of developing prostate cancer. In this UK-wide case-control study, we have explored the possible association ...
Fine-mapping of 150 breast cancer risk regions identifies 191 likely target genes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-07)
Genome-wide association studies have identified breast cancer risk variants in over 150 genomic regions, but the mechanisms underlying risk remain largely unknown. These regions were explored by combining association ...
