Rare disruptive mutations in ciliary function genes contribute to testicular cancer susceptibility.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-12-20)
Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men. Here we sought to identify risk factors for TGCT by performing whole-exome sequencing on 328 TGCT cases from 153 families, 634 sporadic TGCT cases ...
Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for multiple myeloma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-07-01)
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy with a significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies have transformed our understanding of MM predisposition, but individual studies have had limited power ...
Undefined familial colorectal cancer and the role of pleiotropism in cancer susceptibility genes.
(SPRINGER, 2016-06-29)
Although family history is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) a genetic diagnosis cannot be obtained in over 50 % of familial cases when screened for known CRC cancer susceptibility genes. The genetics of ...
