Whole-exome sequencing reveals the mutational spectrum of testicular germ cell tumours.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-01-22)
Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common cancer in young men. Here we perform whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 42 TGCTs to comprehensively study the cancer's mutational profile. The mutation rate is uniformly ...
Genome-wide association analysis of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma identifies pleiotropic risk loci.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-01-23)
B-cell malignancies (BCM) originate from the same cell of origin, but at different maturation stages and have distinct clinical phenotypes. Although genetic risk variants for individual BCMs have been identified, an agnostic, ...
Rare disruptive mutations in ciliary function genes contribute to testicular cancer susceptibility.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-12-20)
Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men. Here we sought to identify risk factors for TGCT by performing whole-exome sequencing on 328 TGCT cases from 153 families, 634 sporadic TGCT cases ...
Genome-wide association analysis identifies a meningioma risk locus at 11p15.5.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-10-09)
BACKGROUND: Meningiomas are adult brain tumors originating in the meningeal coverings of the brain and spinal cord, with significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have previously identified only ...
Rare disruptive mutations and their contribution to the heritable risk of colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-06-22)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) displays a complex pattern of inheritance. It is postulated that much of the missing heritability of CRC is enshrined in high-impact rare alleles, which are mechanistically and clinically important. ...
Association analyses identify 31 new risk loci for colorectal cancer susceptibility.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-14)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and has a strong heritable basis. We report a genome-wide association analysis of 34,627 CRC cases and 71,379 controls of European ancestry that ...
Identification of 19 new risk loci and potential regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumor.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-07-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed understanding of susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. Here we report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis ...
