Length of FMR1 repeat alleles within the normal range does not substantially affect the risk of early menopause.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-10-01)
STUDY QUESTION: Is the length of FMR1 repeat alleles within the normal range associated with the risk of early menopause? SUMMARY ANSWER: The length of repeat alleles within the normal range does not substantially affect ...
Association of genetic susceptibility variants for type 2 diabetes with breast cancer risk in women of European ancestry.
(SPRINGER, 2016-05-01)
PURPOSE: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been reported to be associated with an elevated risk of breast cancer. It is unclear, however, whether this association is due to shared genetic factors. METHODS: We constructed a genetic ...
Genome-Wide Meta-Analyses of Breast, Ovarian, and Prostate Cancer Association Studies Identify Multiple New Susceptibility Loci Shared by at Least Two Cancer Types.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-01)
UNLABELLED: Breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers are hormone-related and may have a shared genetic basis, but this has not been investigated systematically by genome-wide association (GWA) studies. Meta-analyses combining ...
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 ...
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 ...
