Search for multiple myeloma risk factors using Mendelian randomization.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2020-05-26)
The etiology of multiple myeloma (MM) is poorly understood. Summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of multiple phenotypes can be exploited in a Mendelian randomization (MR) phenome-wide association study ...
Partitioned glioma heritability shows subtype-specific enrichment in immune cells.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-08-02)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies of adult glioma have identified genetic syndromes and 25 heritable risk loci that modify individual risk for glioma, as well increased risk in association with exposure to ionizing ...
Will polygenic risk scores for cancer ever be clinically useful?
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-05-21)
Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies pleiotropic risk loci for aerodigestive squamous cell cancers.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2021-03-05)
Squamous cell carcinomas (SqCC) of the aerodigestive tract have similar etiological risk factors. Although genetic risk variants for individual cancers have been identified, an agnostic, genome-wide search for shared genetic ...
Genome-wide association study identifies risk loci for progressive chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-01-28)
Prognostication in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is challenging due to heterogeneity in clinical course. We hypothesize that constitutional genetic variation affects disease progression and could aid ...
Transcriptome-wide association study reveals candidate causal genes for lung cancer.
(WILEY, 2020-04-01)
We have recently completed the largest GWAS on lung cancer including 29,266 cases and 56,450 controls of European descent. The goal of our study has been to integrate the complete GWAS results with a large-scale expression ...
Alcohol consumption, DNA methylation and colorectal cancer risk: Results from pooled cohort studies and Mendelian randomization analysis.
(WILEY, 2022-07-01)
Alcohol consumption is thought to be one of the modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the causality and mechanisms by which alcohol exerts its carcinogenic effect are unclear. We evaluated the ...
Deciphering colorectal cancer genetics through multi-omic analysis of 100,204 cases and 154,587 controls of European and east Asian ancestries.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-12-20)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. We conducted a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of 100,204 CRC cases and 154,587 controls of European and east Asian ancestry, identifying 205 ...
Optimizing the value of lenalidomide maintenance by extended genetic profiling: an analysis of 556 patients in the Myeloma XI trial.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2023-04-06)
Prediction of individual patient benefit from lenalidomide (Len) maintenance after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains challenging. Here, we investigated extended molecular profiling for outcome prediction in ...
Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) of colorectal cancer risk SNP effects on health outcomes in UK Biobank.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-03-23)
BACKGROUND: Associations between colorectal cancer (CRC) and other health outcomes have been reported, but these may be subject to biases, or due to limitations of observational studies. METHODS: We set out to determine ...
