Sex-specific gene and pathway modeling of inherited glioma risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019-01-01)
BACKGROUND: To date, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 25 risk variants for glioma, explaining 30% of heritable risk. Most histologies occur with significantly higher incidence in males, and this ...
Insight into genetic predisposition to chronic lymphocytic leukemia from integrative epigenomics.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-08-09)
Genome-wide association studies have provided evidence for inherited genetic predisposition to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying CLL risk we analyze chromatin accessibility, ...
Runs of homozygosity and testicular cancer risk.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is highly heritable but > 50% of the genetic risk remains unexplained. Epidemiological observation of greater relative risk to brothers of men with TGCT compared to sons has ...
Phenome-wide association analysis of LDL-cholesterol lowering genetic variants in PCSK9.
(BMC, 2019-10-29)
BACKGROUND: We characterised the phenotypic consequence of genetic variation at the PCSK9 locus and compared findings with recent trials of pharmacological inhibitors of PCSK9. METHODS: Published and individual participant ...
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 ...
