Whole-genome sequencing of multiple myeloma reveals oncogenic pathways are targeted somatically through multiple mechanisms.
(2018-11)
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 ...
Identification of recurrent noncoding mutations in B-cell lymphoma using capture Hi-C.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-01-08)
The identification of driver mutations is fundamental to understanding oncogenesis. Although genes frequently mutated in B-cell lymphoma have been identified, the search for driver mutations has largely focused on the ...
Mendelian randomization provides support for obesity as a risk factor for meningioma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-01-22)
Little is known about the causes of meningioma. Obesity and obesity-related traits have been reported in several epidemiological observational studies to be risk factors for meningioma. We performed an analysis of genetic ...
Modifiable pathways for colorectal cancer: a mendelian randomisation analysis.
(ELSEVIER INC, 2020-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have linked lifestyle, cardiometabolic, reproductive, developmental, and inflammatory factors to the risk of colorectal cancer. However, which specific factors affect risk and the strength ...
Impact of atopy on risk of glioma: a Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMC, 2018-03-15)
BACKGROUND: An inverse relationship between allergies with glioma risk has been reported in several but not all epidemiological observational studies. We performed an analysis of genetic variants associated with atopy to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mendelian randomisation study of the relationship between vitamin D and risk of glioma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-02-05)
To examine for a causal relationship between vitamin D and glioma risk we performed an analysis of genetic variants associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels using Mendelian randomisation (MR), an approach ...
