Genome-wide association study identifies 32 novel breast cancer susceptibility loci from overall and subtype-specific analyses

Haoyu Zhang, +312 more
- 24 Sep 2019 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study including 133,384 breast cancer cases and 113,789 controls, plus 18,908 BRCA1 mutation carriers of European ancestry provides an improved understanding of genetic predisposition to breast cancer subtypes and will inform the development of subtype-specific polygenic risk scores.

Daniela Di Giuseppe, +4 more
- 10 Jul 2012 -

Genome-wide Modeling of Polygenic Risk Score in Colorectal Cancer Risk.

Minta Thomas, +102 more
- 03 Sep 2020 - 
TL;DR: Different approaches to generating predictive polygenic risk scores (PRS) from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are derived and compared, and the developed PRS offers a way for risk-stratified CRC screening and other targeted interventions.
