Adult weight change and premenopausal breast cancer risk: A prospective pooled analysis of data from 628,463 women.
Schoemaker, MJ; Nichols, HB; Wright, LB; Brook, MN; Jones, ME; et al. (WILEY, 2020-09-01)Early-adulthood body size is strongly inversely associated with risk of premenopausal breast cancer. It is unclear whether subsequent changes in weight affect risk. We pooled individual-level data from 17 prospective studies ... -

Association of Body Mass Index and Age With Subsequent Breast Cancer Risk in Premenopausal Women.
Premenopausal Breast Cancer Collaborative Group,; Schoemaker, MJ; Nichols, HB; Wright, LB; Brook, MN; et al. (AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2018-11-01)IMPORTANCE: The association between increasing body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) and risk of breast cancer is unique in cancer epidemiology in that a crossover ... -
Breast Cancer Risk After Recent Childbirth: A Pooled Analysis of 15 Prospective Studies.
Nichols, HB; Schoemaker, MJ; Cai, J; Xu, J; Wright, LB; et al. (AMER COLL PHYSICIANS, 2018-12-11)BACKGROUND: Parity is widely recognized as protective for breast cancer, but breast cancer risk may be increased shortly after childbirth. Whether this risk varies with breastfeeding, family history of breast cancer, or ... -
Comparative Validation of Breast Cancer Risk Prediction Models and Projections for Future Risk Stratification.
Pal Choudhury, P; Wilcox, AN; Brook, MN; Zhang, Y; Ahearn, T; et al. (OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2020-03-01)BACKGROUND: External validation of risk models is critical for risk-stratified breast cancer prevention. We used the Individualized Coherent Absolute Risk Estimation (iCARE) as a flexible tool for risk model development ... -
Fine-mapping of 150 breast cancer risk regions identifies 191 likely target genes.
Fachal, L; Aschard, H; Beesley, J; Barnes, DR; Allen, J; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-07)Genome-wide association studies have identified breast cancer risk variants in over 150 genomic regions, but the mechanisms underlying risk remain largely unknown. These regions were explored by combining association ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility loci for B-cell childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Vijayakrishnan, J; Studd, J; Broderick, P; Kinnersley, B; Holroyd, A; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-04-09)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have advanced our understanding of susceptibility to B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL); however, much of the heritable risk remains unidentified. Here, we perform ... -
Genome-wide association study implicates immune dysfunction in the development of Hodgkin lymphoma.
Sud, A; Thomsen, H; Orlando, G; Försti, A; Law, PJ; et al. (AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-11-08)To further our understanding of inherited susceptibility to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), we performed a meta-analysis of 7 genome-wide association studies totaling 5325 HL cases and 22 423 control patients. We identify 5 new HL ... -
Genome-wide association study of classical Hodgkin lymphoma identifies key regulators of disease susceptibility.
Sud, A; Thomsen, H; Law, PJ; Försti, A; Filho, MIDS; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-12-01)Several susceptibility loci for classical Hodgkin lymphoma have been reported. However, much of the heritable risk is unknown. Here, we perform a meta-analysis of two existing genome-wide association studies, a new genome-wide ... -
Genome-Wide Meta-Analyses of Breast, Ovarian, and Prostate Cancer Association Studies Identify Multiple New Susceptibility Loci Shared by at Least Two Cancer Types.
Kar, SP; Beesley, J; Amin Al Olama, A; Michailidou, K; Tyrer, J; et al. (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-01)UNLABELLED: Breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers are hormone-related and may have a shared genetic basis, but this has not been investigated systematically by genome-wide association (GWA) studies. Meta-analyses combining ... -
