Genome-wide Association Analysis in Humans Links Nucleotide Metabolism to Leukocyte Telomere Length

Chen Li, +96 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide meta-analysis of LTL is performed by pooling densely genotyped and imputed association results across large-scale European-descent studies including up to 78,592 individuals, replicating previously reported associations with increased risk of coronary artery disease and lower risk for multiple cancer types.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study of early menopause and the combined impact of identified variants

John R. B. Perry, +65 more
TL;DR: EM has a genetic aetiology which overlaps variation in normal age at menopause and is at least partly explained by the additive effects of the same polygenic variants, and the combined effect of the common variants captured by the single nucleotide polymorphism arrays was estimated to account for ∼30% of the variance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Expression Profiles of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Survival Prediction and New Biomarkers

TL;DR: A significant correlation between RNA degradation and survival in adenocarcinoma cases is found and new candidate biomarker genes that are likely to be involved in diverse processes associated with NSCLC development are uncovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral health, dental care and mouthwash associated with upper aerodigestive tract cancer risk in Europe: the ARCAGE study.

TL;DR: Poor OH and DC seem to be independent risk factors for UADT because corresponding risk estimates remain substantially elevated after detailed adjustment for multiple confounders.
