Polygenic Risk Scores for Prediction of Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Subtypes.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-01-03)
Stratification of women according to their risk of breast cancer based on polygenic risk scores (PRSs) could improve screening and prevention strategies. Our aim was to develop PRSs, optimized for prediction of estrogen ...
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 ...
Phenome-wide association analysis of LDL-cholesterol lowering genetic variants in PCSK9.
(BMC, 2019-10-29)
BACKGROUND: We characterised the phenotypic consequence of genetic variation at the PCSK9 locus and compared findings with recent trials of pharmacological inhibitors of PCSK9. METHODS: Published and individual participant ...
Age-specific genome-wide association study in glioblastoma identifies increased proportion of 'lower grade glioma'-like features associated with younger age.
(WILEY, 2018-11-15)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in the United States. Incidence of GBM increases with age, and younger age-at-diagnosis is significantly associated with improved prognosis. While the relationship ...
Identification of ten variants associated with risk of estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-12-01)
Most common breast cancer susceptibility variants have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of predominantly estrogen receptor (ER)-positive disease. We conducted a GWAS using 21,468 ER-negative ...
Association analyses identify 31 new risk loci for colorectal cancer susceptibility.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-14)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and has a strong heritable basis. We report a genome-wide association analysis of 34,627 CRC cases and 71,379 controls of European ancestry that ...
Genome-wide association study implicates immune dysfunction in the development of Hodgkin lymphoma.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-11-08)
To further our understanding of inherited susceptibility to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), we performed a meta-analysis of 7 genome-wide association studies totaling 5325 HL cases and 22 423 control patients. We identify 5 new HL ...
Genome-wide association study of classical Hodgkin lymphoma identifies key regulators of disease susceptibility.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-12-01)
Several susceptibility loci for classical Hodgkin lymphoma have been reported. However, much of the heritable risk is unknown. Here, we perform a meta-analysis of two existing genome-wide association studies, a new genome-wide ...
Fine-mapping of prostate cancer susceptibility loci in a large meta-analysis identifies candidate causal variants.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-06-11)
Prostate cancer is a polygenic disease with a large heritable component. A number of common, low-penetrance prostate cancer risk loci have been identified through GWAS. Here we apply the Bayesian multivariate variable ...
Genome-wide association study of glioma subtypes identifies specific differences in genetic susceptibility to glioblastoma and non-glioblastoma tumors.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-05-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of glioma susceptibility, but individual studies have had limited power to identify risk loci. We performed a meta-analysis of existing GWAS and two ...
