Influence of obesity-related risk factors in the aetiology of glioma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2018-04-01)
BACKGROUND: Obesity and related factors have been implicated as possible aetiological factors for the development of glioma in epidemiological observation studies. We used genetic markers in a Mendelian randomisation ...
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 ...
An enhanced genetic model of relapsed IGH-translocated multiple myeloma evolutionary dynamics.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-14)
Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) die from progressive disease after relapse. To advance our understanding of MM evolution mechanisms, we performed whole-genome sequencing of 80 IGH-translocated tumour-normal newly ...
Search for multiple myeloma risk factors using Mendelian randomization.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2020-05-26)
The etiology of multiple myeloma (MM) is poorly understood. Summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of multiple phenotypes can be exploited in a Mendelian randomization (MR) phenome-wide association study ...
Cancer drivers and clonal dynamics in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia subtypes.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-11-09)
To obtain a comprehensive picture of composite genetic driver events and clonal dynamics in subtypes of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) we analysed tumour-normal whole genome sequencing and expression data ...
Lack of an association between gallstone disease and bilirubin levels with risk of colorectal cancer: a Mendelian randomisation analysis.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-03-16)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies of the relationship between gallstone disease and circulating levels of bilirubin with risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) have been inconsistent. To address possible confounding ...
Relationship between genetically determined telomere length and glioma risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2022-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Telomere maintenance is increasingly recognized as being fundamental to glioma oncogenesis with longer leukocyte telomere length (LTL) reported to increase risk of glioma. To gain further insight into the ...
Elongin C (ELOC/TCEB1)-associated von Hippel-Lindau disease.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-08-23)
Around 95% of patients with clinical features that meet the diagnostic criteria for von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) have a detectable inactivating germline variant in VHL. The VHL protein (pVHL) functions as part of the ...
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 ...
Promoter capture Hi-C-based identification of recurrent noncoding mutations in colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-01)
Efforts are being directed to systematically analyze the non-coding regions of the genome for cancer-driving mutations1-6. cis-regulatory elements (CREs) represent a highly enriched subset of the non-coding regions of the ...
