Meta-analysis of New Genome-wide Association Studies of Colorectal Cancer Risk

Ulrike Peters, +62 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: The study suggests a complex nature of the contribution of common genetic variants to risk for colorectal cancer and selected the most statistically significant single nucleotide polymorphisms for replication using ten independent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of gene-environment interactions for colorectal cancer susceptibility loci

TL;DR: Overall, the association of most CRC susceptibility loci identified in initial GWAS seems to be invariant to the other risk factors considered; however, the results suggest potential modification of the rs16892766 effect by vegetable consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copy number variant in the candidate tumor suppressor gene MTUS1 and familial breast cancer risk.

TL;DR: The present study is the first to determine the impact of a CNV in a tumor suppressor gene on cancer risk, and found a significant association of the deletion variant with a decreased risk for both familial and high-risk familial BC.
