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 ...
Sequential Monte Carlo with transformations.
(SPRINGER, 2020-05-01)
This paper examines methodology for performing Bayesian inference sequentially on a sequence of posteriors on spaces of different dimensions. For this, we use sequential Monte Carlo samplers, introducing the innovation of ...
Weekly COVID-19 testing with household quarantine and contact tracing is feasible and would probably end the epidemic.
(ROYAL SOC, 2020-06-24)
The COVID-19 epidemic can probably be ended and normal life restored, perhaps quite quickly, by weekly SARS-CoV-2 RNA testing together with household quarantine and systematic contact tracing. Isolated outbreaks could then ...
Algorithmic considerations when analysing capture Hi-C data.
(2020-01-01)
Chromosome conformation capture methodologies have provided insight into the effect of 3D genomic architecture on gene regulation. Capture Hi-C (CHi-C) is a recent extension of Hi-C that improves the effective resolution ...
Effect of delays in the 2-week-wait cancer referral pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer survival in the UK: a modelling study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 lockdown, referrals via the 2-week-wait urgent pathway for suspected cancer in England, UK, are reported to have decreased by up to 84%. We aimed to examine the impact of different scenarios ...
Collateral damage: the impact on outcomes from cancer surgery of the COVID-19 pandemic.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Cancer diagnostics and surgery have been disrupted by the response of health care services to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Progression of cancers during delay will impact on patients' ...
Prioritisation by FIT to mitigate the impact of delays in the 2-week wait colorectal cancer referral pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic: a UK modelling study.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-08-27)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) prioritisation to mitigate the impact of delays in the colorectal cancer (CRC) urgent diagnostic (2-week-wait (2WW)) pathway consequent from the ...
Transcriptome-wide association study of breast cancer risk by estrogen-receptor status.
(WILEY, 2020-07-01)
Previous transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have identified breast cancer risk genes by integrating data from expression quantitative loci and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but analyses of breast cancer ...
Real-world experience with doxorubicin and olaratumab in soft tissue sarcomas in England and Northern Ireland.
(BMC, 2020-05-06)
BACKGROUND: A randomised phase II trial demonstrated that the addition of olaratumab to doxorubicin significantly increased overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STS) compared to doxorubicin ...
Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-06)
Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1-3. Here we report the integrative analysis of ...
