Association analyses identify 31 new risk loci for colorectal cancer susceptibility.
Law, PJ; Timofeeva, M; Fernandez-Rozadilla, C; Broderick, P; Studd, J; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-14)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and has a strong heritable basis. We report a genome-wide association analysis of 34,627 CRC cases and 71,379 controls of European ancestry that ... -
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 ... -
Genomic landscape of platinum resistant and sensitive testicular cancers.
Loveday, C; Litchfield, K; Proszek, PZ; Cornish, AJ; Santo, F; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-04)While most testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) exhibit exquisite sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy, ~10% are platinum resistant. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms, we undertake whole exome sequencing and ... -
Identification of 19 new risk loci and potential regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumor.
Litchfield, K; Levy, M; Orlando, G; Loveday, C; Law, PJ; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-07-01)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed understanding of susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. Here we report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis ... -
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 ... -

Large-scale Analysis Demonstrates Familial Testicular Cancer to have Polygenic Aetiology.
Loveday, C; Law, P; Litchfield, K; Levy, M; Holroyd, A; et al. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-09-01)UNLABELLED: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men. Multiplex TGCT families have been well reported and analyses of population cancer registries have demonstrated a four- to eightfold ... -
Large-scale Sequencing of Testicular Germ Cell Tumour (TGCT) Cases Excludes Major TGCT Predisposition Gene.
Litchfield, K; Loveday, C; Levy, M; Dudakia, D; Rapley, E; et al. (2018-06)Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT), the most common cancer in young men, has a significant heritable basis that has long raised questions as to the existence of underlying major high-penetrance susceptibility gene(s). To ... -
Rare disruptive mutations in ciliary function genes contribute to testicular cancer susceptibility.
Litchfield, K; Levy, M; Dudakia, D; Proszek, P; Shipley, C; et al. (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 ... -
Runs of homozygosity and testicular cancer risk.
Loveday, C; Sud, A; Litchfield, K; Levy, M; Holroyd, A; et al. (WILEY, 2019-07-01)BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is highly heritable but > 50% of the genetic risk remains unexplained. Epidemiological observation of greater relative risk to brothers of men with TGCT compared to sons has ... -
Validation of loci at 2q14.2 and 15q21.3 as risk factors for testicular cancer.
Loveday, C; Litchfield, K; Levy, M; Holroyd, A; Broderick, P; et al. (Impact Journals, LLC, 2018-02-27)Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT), the most common cancer in men aged 18 to 45 years, has a strong heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have proposed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at a number ... -
Whole-exome sequencing reveals the mutational spectrum of testicular germ cell tumours.
Litchfield, K; Summersgill, B; Yost, S; Sultana, R; Labreche, K; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-01-22)Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common cancer in young men.
