Fine-mapping of prostate cancer susceptibility loci in a large meta-analysis identifies candidate causal variants.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-06-11)
Prostate cancer is a polygenic disease with a large heritable component. A number of common, low-penetrance prostate cancer risk loci have been identified through GWAS. Here we apply the Bayesian multivariate variable ...
Identification of 19 new risk loci and potential regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumor.
(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 ...
Gene and pathway level analyses of germline DNA-repair gene variants and prostate cancer susceptibility using the iCOGS-genotyping array.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2016-04-12)
BACKGROUND: Germline mutations within DNA-repair genes are implicated in susceptibility to multiple forms of cancer. For prostate cancer (PrCa), rare mutations in BRCA2 and BRCA1 give rise to moderately elevated risk, ...
