RB1 Heterogeneity in Advanced Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-01-15)
PURPOSE: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a lethal but clinically heterogeneous disease, with patients having variable benefit from endocrine and cytotoxic treatments. Intrapatient genomic ...
The OncoArray Consortium: A Network for Understanding the Genetic Architecture of Common Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Common cancers develop through a multistep process often including inherited susceptibility. Collaboration among multiple institutions, and funding from multiple sources, has allowed the development of an ...
Quantifying the Genetic Correlation between Multiple Cancer Types.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)
Background: Many cancers share specific genetic risk factors, including both rare high-penetrance mutations and common SNPs identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, little is known about the ...
Fine-scale mapping of 8q24 locus identifies multiple independent risk variants for breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2016-09-15)
Previous genome-wide association studies among women of European ancestry identified two independent breast cancer susceptibility loci represented by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs13281615 and rs11780156 at 8q24. ...
Genetic and regulatory mechanism of susceptibility to high-hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at 10p21.2.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-03)
Despite high-hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (HD-ALL) being the most common subgroup of paediatric ALL, its aetiology remains unknown. Genome-wide association studies have demonstrated association at 10q21.2. ...
Functional variants in DCAF4 associated with lung cancer risk in European populations.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-05-01)
Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) responsible for substrate specificity of ubiquitination play a key role in cell-cycle control and DNA damage response. In this study, we assessed associations between 16 599 SNPs in 115 ...
A network analysis to identify mediators of germline-driven differences in breast cancer prognosis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-16)
Identifying the underlying genetic drivers of the heritability of breast cancer prognosis remains elusive. We adapt a network-based approach to handle underpowered complex datasets to provide new insights into the potential ...
Genetic variation in ST6GAL1 is a determinant of capecitabine and oxaliplatin induced hand-foot syndrome.
(WILEY, 2022-09-15)
Cancer patients treated with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) often develop hand-foot syndrome (HFS) or palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. Genetic variation in ST6GAL1 is a risk factor for type-2 diabetes (T2D), a ...
Genome-wide association study of germline variants and breast cancer-specific mortality.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-03-19)
BACKGROUND: We examined the associations between germline variants and breast cancer mortality using a large meta-analysis of women of European ancestry. METHODS: Meta-analyses included summary estimates based on Cox models ...
