Whole-genome sequencing of multiple myeloma reveals oncogenic pathways are targeted somatically through multiple mechanisms.
(2018-11)
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a biologically heterogeneous malignancy, however, the mechanisms underlying this complexity are incompletely understood. We report an analysis of the whole-genome sequencing of 765 MM patients from ...
Variation at 2q35 (PNKD and TMBIM1) influences colorectal cancer risk and identifies a pleiotropic effect with inflammatory bowel disease.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-06-01)
To identify new risk loci for colorectal cancer (CRC), we conducted a meta-analysis of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with independent replication, totalling 13 656 CRC cases and 21 667 controls of European ...
Identification of multiple risk loci and regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to multiple myeloma.
(2018-09-13)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of susceptibility to multiple myeloma (MM), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. We report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis with previous ...
Identification of recurrent noncoding mutations in B-cell lymphoma using capture Hi-C.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-01-08)
The identification of driver mutations is fundamental to understanding oncogenesis. Although genes frequently mutated in B-cell lymphoma have been identified, the search for driver mutations has largely focused on the ...
Mendelian randomization provides support for obesity as a risk factor for meningioma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-01-22)
Little is known about the causes of meningioma. Obesity and obesity-related traits have been reported in several epidemiological observational studies to be risk factors for meningioma. We performed an analysis of genetic ...
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 ...
Modifiable pathways for colorectal cancer: a mendelian randomisation analysis.
(ELSEVIER INC, 2020-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have linked lifestyle, cardiometabolic, reproductive, developmental, and inflammatory factors to the risk of colorectal cancer. However, which specific factors affect risk and the strength ...
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 ...
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 ...
