RAD51B in Familial Breast Cancer

Liisa M. Pelttari, +115 more
- 05 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that loss-of-function mutations in RAD 51B are rare, but common variation at the RAD51B region is significantly associated with familial breast cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genomic analyses link reproductive aging to hypothalamic signaling, breast cancer susceptibility and BRCA1-mediated DNA repair

Felix R. Day, +241 more
- 01 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: A dual strategy to identify common and low-frequency protein-coding variation associated with age at natural menopause and enrichment of signals in or near genes involved in delayed puberty are reported, highlighting the first molecular links between the onset and end of reproductive lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 12 new susceptibility loci for different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer

Catherine M. Phelan, +443 more
- 01 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: Integrated analyses of genes and regulatory biofeatures at each locus predicted candidate susceptibility genes, including OBFC1, a new candidate susceptibility gene for low-grade and borderline serous EOC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants associated with breast-cancer risk: comprehensive research synopsis, meta-analysis, and epidemiological evidence

TL;DR: Whereas most genetic variants assessed in previous candidate-gene studies showed no association with breast-cancer risk in meta-analyses, 14 variants in nine genes had moderate to strong evidence for an association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetically Predicted Body Mass Index and Breast Cancer Risk: Mendelian Randomization Analyses of Data from 145,000 Women of European Descent.

Yan Guo, +117 more
- 23 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: BMI predicted by genome-wide association studies (GWAS)-identified variants is inversely associated with the risk of both pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer, differs from the positive association reported from studies using measured adult BMI.
