Shared heritability and functional enrichment across six solid cancers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-01-25)
Quantifying the genetic correlation between cancers can provide important insights into the mechanisms driving cancer etiology. Using genome-wide association study summary statistics across six cancer types based on a total ...
Lung Cancer Risk in Never-Smokers of European Descent is Associated With Genetic Variation in the 5p15.33 TERT-CLPTM1Ll Region.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-08-01)
INTRODUCTION: Inherited susceptibility to lung cancer risk in never-smokers is poorly understood. The major reason for this gap in knowledge is that this disease is relatively uncommon (except in Asians), making it difficult ...
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 ...
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 ...
Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Identifies New Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Glioma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-04-15)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have so far identified 25 loci associated with glioma risk, with most showing specificity for either glioblastoma (GBM) or non-GBM tumors. The majority of these GWAS susceptibility ...
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 ...
Genome-Wide Association Studies in Glioma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)
Since the first reports in 2009, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying germline variants associated with glioma susceptibility. In this review, we describe a chronological history of ...
