Whole-genome sequencing of multiple myeloma reveals oncogenic pathways are targeted somatically through multiple mechanisms.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-01)
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a biologically heterogeneous malignancy, however, the mechanisms underlying this complexity are incompletely understood. We report an analysis of the whole-genome sequencing of 765 MM patients from ...
Diffuse gliomas classified by 1p/19q co-deletion, TERT promoter and IDH mutation status are associated with specific genetic risk loci.
(SPRINGER, 2018-05-01)
Recent genome-wide association studies of glioma have led to the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 25 loci influencing risk. Gliomas are heterogeneous, hence to investigate the relationship between ...
Novel genetic variants in the P38MAPK pathway gene ZAK and susceptibility to lung cancer.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)
The P38MAPK pathway participates in regulating cell cycle, inflammation, development, cell death, cell differentiation, and tumorigenesis. Genetic variants of some genes in the P38MAPK pathway are reportedly associated ...
Sex-specific glioma genome-wide association study identifies new risk locus at 3p21.31 in females, and finds sex-differences in risk at 8q24.21.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-05-09)
Incidence of glioma is approximately 50% higher in males. Previous analyses have examined exposures related to sex hormones in women as potential protective factors for these tumors, with inconsistent results. Previous ...
Second primary cancers in non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Bidirectional analyses suggesting role for immune dysfunction.
(WILEY, 2018-11-15)
Second primary cancers (SPCs) account for an increasing proportion of all cancer diagnoses. It is unlikely that prior therapy is solely responsible for SPC risk. To investigate risk of SPC after diagnosis of non-Hodgkin ...
Genome-wide association analysis identifies a meningioma risk locus at 11p15.5.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-10-09)
BACKGROUND: Meningiomas are adult brain tumors originating in the meningeal coverings of the brain and spinal cord, with significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have previously identified only ...
Glioma-related seizures in relation to histopathological subtypes: a report from the glioma international case-control study.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2018-06-01)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distribution of glioma-related seizures and seizure control at the time of tumor diagnosis with respect to tumor histologic subtypes, tumor treatment and patient ...
Risk of second primary cancer following myeloid neoplasia and risk of myeloid neoplasia as second primary cancer: a nationwide, observational follow up study in Sweden.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Although advances in the treatment of myeloid neoplasms have led to improved patient survival, this improvement has been accompanied by an increased risk of second primary cancer (ie, the risk of another cancer ...
Familial risks of acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-08-30)
Identification of susceptibility pathways for the role of chromosome 15q25.1 in modifying lung cancer risk.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2018-08-13)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the chromosome 15q25.1 locus as a leading susceptibility region for lung cancer. However, the pathogenic pathways, through which susceptibility SNPs within chromosome 15q25.1 ...
