Large-scale Sequencing of Testicular Germ Cell Tumour (TGCT) Cases Excludes Major TGCT Predisposition Gene.
(2018-06)
Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT), the most common cancer in young men, has a significant heritable basis that has long raised questions as to the existence of underlying major high-penetrance susceptibility gene(s). To ...
Identification of multiple risk loci and regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to multiple myeloma.
(2018-09-13)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of susceptibility to multiple myeloma (MM), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. We report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis with previous ...
Genetic correlation between multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia provides evidence for shared aetiology.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-12-21)
The clustering of different types of B-cell malignancies in families raises the possibility of shared aetiology. To examine this, we performed cross-trait linkage disequilibrium (LD)-score regression of multiple myeloma ...
Critical research gaps and recommendations to inform research prioritisation for more effective prevention and improved outcomes in colorectal cancer.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) leads to significant morbidity/mortality worldwide. Defining critical research gaps (RG), their prioritisation and resolution, could improve patient outcomes. DESIGN: RG analysis was ...
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 Studies in Glioma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)
Since the first reports in 2009, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying germline variants associated with glioma susceptibility. In this review, we describe a chronological history of ...
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 ...
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 ...
