Collateral damage: the impact on outcomes from cancer surgery of the COVID-19 pandemic.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Cancer diagnostics and surgery have been disrupted by the response of health care services to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Progression of cancers during delay will impact on patients' ...
Whole-genome sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia reveals distinct differences in the mutational landscape between IgHVmut and IgHVunmut subgroups.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-02-01)
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) consists of two biologically and clinically distinct subtypes defined by the abundance of somatic hypermutation (SHM) affecting the Ig variable heavy-chain locus (IgHV). The molecular ...
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 ...
Genetic predisposition to mosaic Y chromosome loss in blood.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-11-28)
Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) in circulating white blood cells is the most common form of clonal mosaicism1-5, yet our knowledge of the causes and consequences of this is limited. Here, using a computational approach, ...
Age-specific genome-wide association study in glioblastoma identifies increased proportion of 'lower grade glioma'-like features associated with younger age.
(WILEY, 2018-11-15)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in the United States. Incidence of GBM increases with age, and younger age-at-diagnosis is significantly associated with improved prognosis. While the relationship ...
Subclonal TP53 copy number is associated with prognosis in multiple myeloma.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-12-06)
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a genetically heterogeneous cancer of bone marrow plasma cells with variable outcome. To assess the prognostic relevance of clonal heterogeneity of TP53 copy number, we profiled tumors from 1777 ...
Association analyses identify 31 new risk loci for colorectal cancer susceptibility.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-14)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and has a strong heritable basis. We report a genome-wide association analysis of 34,627 CRC cases and 71,379 controls of European ancestry that ...
Assessment of polygenic architecture and risk prediction based on common variants across fourteen cancers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-07-03)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the identification of hundreds of susceptibility loci across cancers, but the impact of further studies remains uncertain. Here we analyse summary-level data from GWAS of ...
Cross-Cancer Genome-Wide Analysis of Lung, Ovary, Breast, Prostate, and Colorectal Cancer Reveals Novel Pleiotropic Associations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-01)
Identifying genetic variants with pleiotropic associations can uncover common pathways influencing multiple cancers. We took a two-stage approach to conduct genome-wide association studies for lung, ovary, breast, prostate, ...
