Transcriptome-wide association study of multiple myeloma identifies candidate susceptibility genes.
(BMC, 2019-08-20)
BACKGROUND: While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of multiple myeloma (MM) have identified variants at 23 regions influencing risk, the genes underlying these associations are largely unknown. To identify candidate ...
Second primary cancers in patients with acute lymphoblastic, chronic lymphocytic and hairy cell leukaemia.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)
Improvement of survival in lymphocytic leukaemia has been accompanied by the occurrence of second primary cancer (SPCs). Based on Swedish Family Cancer Database, we applied bi-directional analyses in which relative risks ...
Genetic correlation between multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia provides evidence for shared aetiology.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-12-21)
The clustering of different types of B-cell malignancies in families raises the possibility of shared aetiology. To examine this, we performed cross-trait linkage disequilibrium (LD)-score regression of multiple myeloma ...
Aspirin, NSAIDs, and Glioma Risk: Original Data from the Glioma International Case-Control Study and a Meta-analysis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-03-01)
BACKGROUND: There have been few studies of sufficient size to address the relationship between glioma risk and the use of aspirin or NSAIDs, and results have been conflicting. The purpose of this study was to examine the ...
Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Identifies New Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Glioma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-04-15)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have so far identified 25 loci associated with glioma risk, with most showing specificity for either glioblastoma (GBM) or non-GBM tumors. The majority of these GWAS susceptibility ...
Identification of four novel associations for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia risk.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-11-25)
There is increasing evidence for a strong inherited genetic basis of susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in children. To identify new risk variants for B-cell ALL (B-ALL) we conducted a meta-analysis with ...
Critical research gaps and recommendations to inform research prioritisation for more effective prevention and improved outcomes in colorectal cancer.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) leads to significant morbidity/mortality worldwide. Defining critical research gaps (RG), their prioritisation and resolution, could improve patient outcomes. DESIGN: RG analysis was ...
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 ...
Genome-wide association study and meta-analysis in Northern European populations replicate multiple colorectal cancer risk loci.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)
Genome-wide association studies have been successful in elucidating the genetic basis of colorectal cancer (CRC), but there remains unexplained variability in genetic risk. To identify new risk variants and to confirm ...
Genome-Wide Association Studies in Glioma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)
Since the first reports in 2009, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying germline variants associated with glioma susceptibility. In this review, we describe a chronological history of ...
