Functional mechanisms underlying pleiotropic risk alleles at the 19p13.1 breast-ovarian cancer susceptibility locus.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-09-07)
A locus at 19p13 is associated with breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC) risk. Here we analyse 438 SNPs in this region in 46,451 BC and 15,438 OC cases, 15,252 BRCA1 mutation carriers and 73,444 controls and identify ...
CYP3A7*1C allele is associated with reduced levels of 2-hydroxylation pathway oestrogen metabolites.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-31)
BACKGROUND: Endogenous sex hormones are well-established risk factors for breast cancer; the contribution of specific oestrogen metabolites (EMs) and/or ratios of specific EMs is less clear. We have previously identified ...
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. ...
Fine-Mapping of the 1p11.2 Breast Cancer Susceptibility Locus.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-08-24)
The Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility genome-wide association study (GWAS) originally identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs11249433 at 1p11.2 associated with breast cancer risk. To fine-map this locus, ...
Evidence that the 5p12 Variant rs10941679 Confers Susceptibility to Estrogen-Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer through FGF10 and MRPS30 Regulation.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-10-06)
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed increased breast cancer risk associated with multiple genetic variants at 5p12. Here, we report the fine mapping of this locus using data from 104,660 subjects from 50 ...
