Potential utility of risk stratification for multicancer screening with liquid biopsy tests.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-04-22)
Our proof-of-concept study reveals the potential of risk stratification by the combined effects of age, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and non-genetic risk factors in increasing the risk-benefit balance of rapidly emerging ...
The sequence kernel association test for multicategorical outcomes.
(WILEY, 2023-04-19)
Disease heterogeneity is ubiquitous in biomedical and clinical studies. In genetic studies, researchers are increasingly interested in understanding the distinct genetic underpinning of subtypes of diseases. However, ...
Increase in power by obtaining 10 or more controls per case when type-1 error is small in large-scale association studies.
(BMC, 2023-06-29)
BACKGROUND: The rule of thumb that there is little gain in statistical power by obtaining more than 4 controls per case, is based on type-1 error α = 0.05. However, association studies that evaluate thousands or millions ...
DNA methylation age in paired tumor and adjacent normal breast tissue in Chinese women with breast cancer.
(BMC, 2023-03-30)
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined epigenetic age acceleration (AA), the difference between DNA methylation (DNAm) predicted age and chronological age, in relation to somatic genomic features in paired cancer and normal ...
Mosquito control exposures and breast cancer risk: analysis of 1071 cases and 2096 controls from the Ghana Breast Health Study.
(BMC, 2023-12-11)
Epidemiologic data on insecticide exposures and breast cancer risk are inconclusive and mostly from high-income countries. Using data from 1071 invasive pathologically confirmed breast cancer cases and 2096 controls from ...
