High-throughput automated scoring of Ki67 in breast cancer tissue microarrays from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium.
(WILEY, 2016-07-01)
Automated methods are needed to facilitate high-throughput and reproducible scoring of Ki67 and other markers in breast cancer tissue microarrays (TMAs) in large-scale studies. To address this need, we developed an automated ...
Age- and Tumor Subtype-Specific Breast Cancer Risk Estimates for CHEK2*1100delC Carriers.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2016-08-10)
PURPOSE: CHEK2*1100delC is a well-established breast cancer risk variant that is most prevalent in European populations; however, there are limited data on risk of breast cancer by age and tumor subtype, which limits its ...
Genome-wide association study of germline variants and breast cancer-specific mortality.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-03-19)
BACKGROUND: We examined the associations between germline variants and breast cancer mortality using a large meta-analysis of women of European ancestry. METHODS: Meta-analyses included summary estimates based on Cox models ...
Combined Associations of a Polygenic Risk Score and Classical Risk Factors With Breast Cancer Risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-03-01)
We evaluated the joint associations between a new 313-variant PRS (PRS313) and questionnaire-based breast cancer risk factors for women of European ancestry, using 72 284 cases and 80 354 controls from the Breast Cancer ...
Etiology of hormone receptor positive breast cancer differs by levels of histologic grade and proliferation.
(WILEY, 2018-08-15)
Limited epidemiological evidence suggests that the etiology of hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer may differ by levels of histologic grade and proliferation. We pooled risk factor and pathology data on 5,905 HR+ ...
Identification of independent association signals and putative functional variants for breast cancer risk through fine-scale mapping of the 12p11 locus.
(BMC, 2016-06-21)
BACKGROUND: Multiple recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs10771399, at 12p11 that is associated with breast cancer risk. METHOD: We performed a fine-scale ...
Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-04-01)
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ∼9% of the familial risk of the disease. We ...
Genome-wide association and transcriptome studies identify target genes and risk loci for breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-04-15)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 170 breast cancer susceptibility loci. Here we hypothesize that some risk-associated variants might act in non-breast tissues, specifically adipose tissue ...
