Protein-altering germline mutations implicate novel genes related to lung cancer development.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-05-11)
Few germline mutations are known to affect lung cancer risk. We performed analyses of rare variants from 39,146 individuals of European ancestry and investigated gene expression levels in 7,773 samples. We find a large-effect ...
Glioma risk associated with extent of estimated European genetic ancestry in African Americans and Hispanics.
(WILEY, 2020-02-01)
Glioma incidence is highest in non-Hispanic Whites, and to date, glioma genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to date have only included European ancestry (EA) populations. African Americans and Hispanics in the US have ...
Second primary cancers in non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Family history and survival.
(WILEY, 2020-02)
Second primary cancers (SPCs) account for an increasing proportion of all cancer diagnoses and family history of cancer may be a risk factor for SPCs. Using the Swedish Family-Cancer Database on non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), ...
Genomic landscape of platinum resistant and sensitive testicular cancers.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-04)
While most testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) exhibit exquisite sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy, ~10% are platinum resistant. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms, we undertake whole exome sequencing and ...
Impact of mitochondrial DNA mutations in multiple myeloma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-01)
Pathway Analysis of Renal Cell Carcinoma Genome-Wide Association Studies Identifies Novel Associations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-10-01)
BACKGROUND: Much of the heritable risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with common genetic variation is unexplained. New analytic approaches have been developed to increase the discovery of risk variants in ...
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 ...
Copy number evolution and its relationship with patient outcome-an analysis of 178 matched presentation-relapse tumor pairs from the Myeloma XI trial.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-12-01)
Structural chromosomal changes including copy number aberrations (CNAs) are a major feature of multiple myeloma (MM), however their evolution in context of modern biological therapy is not well characterized. To investigate ...
An enhanced genetic model of relapsed IGH-translocated multiple myeloma evolutionary dynamics.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-14)
Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) die from progressive disease after relapse. To advance our understanding of MM evolution mechanisms, we performed whole-genome sequencing of 80 IGH-translocated tumour-normal newly ...
Germline variants at SOHLH2 influence multiple myeloma risk.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-04-19)
Multiple myeloma (MM) is caused by the uncontrolled, clonal expansion of plasma cells. While there is epidemiological evidence for inherited susceptibility, the molecular basis remains incompletely understood. We report a ...
