Associations of obesity and circulating insulin and glucose with breast cancer risk: a Mendelian randomization analysis.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-06-01)
BACKGROUND: In addition to the established association between general obesity and breast cancer risk, central obesity and circulating fasting insulin and glucose have been linked to the development of this common malignancy. ...
Risks of ovarian, breast, and corpus uteri cancer in women treated with assisted reproductive technology in Great Britain, 1991-2010: data linkage study including 2.2 million person years of observation.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-07-11)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risks of ovarian, breast, and corpus uteri cancer in women who have had assisted reproduction. DESIGN: Large, population based, data linkage cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: All women ...
Genetic susceptibility to radiation-induced breast cancer after Hodgkin lymphoma.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-03-07)
Female Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients treated with chest radiotherapy (RT) have a very high risk of breast cancer. The contribution of genetic factors to this risk is unclear. We therefore examined 211 155 germline ...
Circulating Metabolic Biomarkers of Screen-Detected Prostate Cancer in the ProtecT Study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Whether associations between circulating metabolites and prostate cancer are causal is unknown. We report on the largest study of metabolites and prostate cancer (2,291 cases and 2,661 controls) and appraise ...
Genetic Data from Nearly 63,000 Women of European Descent Predicts DNA Methylation Biomarkers and Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-02-01)
DNA methylation is instrumental for gene regulation. Global changes in the epigenetic landscape have been recognized as a hallmark of cancer. However, the role of DNA methylation in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains ...
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 ...
PhyreRisk: A Dynamic Web Application to Bridge Genomics, Proteomics and 3D Structural Data to Guide Interpretation of Human Genetic Variants.
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019-06-14)
PhyreRisk is an open-access, publicly accessible web application for interactively bridging genomic, proteomic and structural data facilitating the mapping of human variants onto protein structures. A major advance over ...
PHIP - a novel candidate breast cancer susceptibility locus on 6q14.1.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-11-28)
Most non-BRCA1/2 breast cancer families have no identified genetic cause. We used linkage and haplotype analyses in familial and sporadic breast cancer cases to identify a susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q. Two independent ...
Circulating vitamin D concentration and risk of seven cancers: Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-10-31)
Objective To determine if circulating concentrations of vitamin D are causally associated with risk of cancer.Design Mendelian randomisation study.Setting Large genetic epidemiology networks (the Genetic Associations and ...
The influence of obesity-related factors in the etiology of renal cell carcinoma-A mendelian randomization study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-01-03)
BACKGROUND: Several obesity-related factors have been associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but it is unclear which individual factors directly influence risk. We addressed this question using genetic markers as ...
