Journal ArticleDOI

A Genome-Wide Association Study of Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancers Conducted within the INHANCE Consortium

James McKay, +130 more
- 17 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study to identify common genetic variation involved in susceptibility to upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) cancers implicate two variants at 4q21 and 12q24 and further highlight three ADH variants in UADT cancer susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Replication of Lung Cancer Susceptibility Loci at Chromosomes 15q25, 5p15, and 6p21: A Pooled Analysis From the International Lung Cancer Consortium

Thérèse Truong, +63 more
TL;DR: Previous associations found in white populations were replicated and new associations were identified in Asian populations, and the associations between the 5p15 variants and lung cancer differed by histology; odds ratios for rs2736100 were highest in adenocarcinoma and for rs402710 were highest for squamous cell carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

The UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 Gene Deletion Polymorphism: Sex-Specific Association with Urinary 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-Pyridyl)-1-Butanol Glucuronidation Phenotype and Risk for Lung Cancer

TL;DR: The association of the UGT2B17 deletion with increased lung adenocarcinoma in women is consistent with its association with decreased NNAL glucuronidation rates in women and with studies showing that NNal is a selective inducer of lung adanoma in experimental animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Significance of UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase Variants in the Metabolism of Active Tamoxifen Metabolites

TL;DR: Functional polymorphisms in TAM-metabolizing UGTs, including UGT2B7 and potentially UGT1A8, may be important in interindividual variability in TAM metabolism and response to TAM therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucuronidation Genotypes and Nicotine Metabolic Phenotypes: Importance of Functional UGT2B10 and UGT2B17 Polymorphisms

TL;DR: The data suggest that UGTs 2B10 and 2B17 play important roles in the glucuronidation of nicotine, cotinine, and 3HC and suggest that the UGT2B10 codon 67 SNP and the U GT2B17 gene deletion significantly reduce overall glucuronidated rates of nicotine and its major metabolites in smokers.
