Genome-wide association of familial prostate cancer cases identifies evidence for a rare segregating haplotype at 8q24.21.
(SPRINGER, 2016-08-01)
Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of prostate cancer risk focused on cases unselected for family history and have reported over 100 significant associations. The International Consortium for Prostate Cancer ...
Identification of four novel susceptibility loci for oestrogen receptor negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-04-27)
Common variants in 94 loci have been associated with breast cancer including 15 loci with genome-wide significant associations (P<5 × 10(-8)) with oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer and BRCA1-associated breast ...
Candidate gene association studies and risk of Hodgkin lymphoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(WILEY, 2017-03-01)
To evaluate the contribution of association studies of candidate polymorphisms to inherited predisposition to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published case-control studies. Of ...
A genetic study and meta-analysis of the genetic predisposition of prostate cancer in a Chinese population.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-04-19)
Prostate cancer predisposition has been extensively investigated in European populations, but there have been few studies of other ethnic groups. To investigate prostate cancer susceptibility in the under-investigated ...
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 ...
A Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Among 97,898 Women to Identify Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-09-15)
Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified approximately 35 loci associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk. The majority of GWAS-identified disease susceptibility variants are located in ...
Glioma risk associated with extent of estimated European genetic ancestry in African Americans and Hispanics.
(WILEY, 2020-02-01)
Glioma incidence is highest in non-Hispanic Whites, and to date, glioma genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to date have only included European ancestry (EA) populations. African Americans and Hispanics in the US have ...
Regions of homozygosity as risk factors for multiple myeloma.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)
Genomic regions of homozygosity (ROH), detectable in outbred populations, have been implicated as determinants of inherited risk. To examine whether ROH is associated with risk of multiple myeloma (MM), we performed ...
Transcriptome-wide association study of multiple myeloma identifies candidate susceptibility genes.
(BMC, 2019-08-20)
BACKGROUND: While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of multiple myeloma (MM) have identified variants at 23 regions influencing risk, the genes underlying these associations are largely unknown. To identify candidate ...
Analysis of Over 140,000 European Descendants Identifies Genetically Predicted Blood Protein Biomarkers Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-09-15)
Several blood protein biomarkers have been associated with prostate cancer risk. However, most studies assessed only a small number of biomarkers and/or included a small sample size. To identify novel protein biomarkers ...
