Combined effects of endogenous sex hormone levels and mammographic density on postmenopausal breast cancer risk: results from the Breakthrough Generations Study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-04-02)
BACKGROUND: Mammographic density and sex hormone levels are strong risk factors for breast cancer, but it is unclear whether they represent the same aetiological entity or are independent risk factors. METHODS: Within the ...
Timing of pubertal stages and breast cancer risk: the Breakthrough Generations Study.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2014-02-04)
INTRODUCTION: Breast development and hormonal changes at puberty might affect breast cancer risk, but epidemiological analyses have focussed largely on age at menarche and not at other pubertal stages. METHODS: We investigated ...
Rare variants of large effect in BRCA2 and CHEK2 affect risk of lung cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-09-11)
We conducted imputation to the 1000 Genomes Project of four genome-wide association studies of lung cancer in populations of European ancestry (11,348 cases and 15,861 controls) and genotyped an additional 10,246 cases and ...
Systematic evaluation of the prognostic impact and intratumour heterogeneity of clear cell renal cell carcinoma biomarkers.
(ELSEVIER, 2014-07-19)
BACKGROUND: Candidate biomarkers have been identified for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients, but most have not been validated. OBJECTIVE: To validate published ccRCC prognostic biomarkers in an independent ...
Genetic variation at CYP3A is associated with age at menarche and breast cancer risk: a case-control study.
(BMC, 2014-05-26)
INTRODUCTION: We have previously shown that a tag single nucleotide polymorphism (rs10235235), which maps to the CYP3A locus (7q22.1), was associated with a reduction in premenopausal urinary estrone glucuronide levels and ...
