Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genetic association studies supports a contribution of common variants to susceptibility to common disease.

TL;DR: It is concluded that there are probably many common variants in the human genome with modest but real effects on common disease risk, and that studies using large samples will convincingly identify such variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common Genetic Variation In Cellular Transport Genes and Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) Risk

Ganna Chornokur, +158 more
- 19 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: Associations between inherited cellular transport gene variants and risk of EOC histologic subtypes are revealed on a large cohort of women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between endometriosis and risk of histological subtypes of ovarian cancer: a pooled analysis of case-control studies.

Celeste Leigh Pearce, +50 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the association between self-reported endometriosis and risk of ovarian cancer was found to be a risk factor for epithelial ovarian cancer; however, whether this risk extends to all invasive histological subtypes or borderline tumours is not clear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer

Stig E. Bojesen, +455 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, SNPs at the TERT locus in breast, ovarian and BRCA1 mutation carrier cancer cases and controls and leukocyte telomere measurements are analyzed to find associations cluster into three independent peaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

GWAS meta-analysis and replication identifies three new susceptibility loci for ovarian cancer

Paul D.P. Pharoah, +176 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: An integrated molecular analysis of genes and regulatory regions at these loci provided evidence for functional mechanisms underlying susceptibility and implicated CHMP4C in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer.
