Assessing the effect of obesity-related traits on multiple myeloma using a Mendelian randomisation approach.
Went, M; Sud, A; Law, PJ; Johnson, DC; Weinhold, N; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06-16) -
Genetic correlation between multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia provides evidence for shared aetiology.
Went, M; Sud, A; Speedy, H; Sunter, NJ; Försti, A; et al. (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 ... -
Genetic Predisposition to Multiple Myeloma at 5q15 Is Mediated by an ELL2 Enhancer Polymorphism.
Li, N; Johnson, DC; Weinhold, N; Kimber, S; Dobbins, SE; et al. (CELL PRESS, 2017-09-12)Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of plasma cells. Genome-wide association studies have shown that variation at 5q15 influences MM risk. Here, we have sought to decipher the causal variant at 5q15 and the mechanism by ... -
Germline variants at SOHLH2 influence multiple myeloma risk.
Duran-Lozano, L; Thorleifsson, G; Lopez de Lapuente Portilla, A; Niroula, A; Went, M; et al. (SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-04-19)Multiple myeloma (MM) is caused by the uncontrolled, clonal expansion of plasma cells. While there is epidemiological evidence for inherited susceptibility, the molecular basis remains incompletely understood. We report a ... -
Identification of multiple risk loci and regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to multiple myeloma.
Went, M; Sud, A; Försti, A; Halvarsson, B-M; Weinhold, N; et al. (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 multiple risk loci and regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to multiple myeloma.

(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 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.

Regions of homozygosity as risk factors for multiple myeloma.
Went, M; Sud, A; Li, N; Johnson, DC; Mitchell, JS; et al. (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 ... -
Search for multiple myeloma risk factors using Mendelian randomization.
Went, M; Cornish, AJ; Law, PJ; Kinnersley, B; van Duin, M; et al. (AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2020-05-26)The etiology of multiple myeloma (MM) is poorly understood. Summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of multiple phenotypes can be exploited in a Mendelian randomization (MR) phenome-wide association study ... -
Transcriptome-wide association study of multiple myeloma identifies candidate susceptibility genes.
Went, M; Kinnersley, B; Sud, A; Johnson, DC; Weinhold, N; et al. (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 ...
