Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenome-wide association study of body mass index, and the adverse outcomes of adiposity

Simone Wahl, +123 more
- 05 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used epigenome-wide association to show that body mass index (BMI), a key measure of adiposity, is associated with widespread changes in DNA methylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association scan identifies a colorectal cancer susceptibility locus on 11q23 and replicates risk loci at 8q24 and 18q21.

TL;DR: Findings extend the understanding of the role of common genetic variation in CRC etiology by identifying a previously unreported association, rs3802842 on 11q23, and carrying all six possible risk alleles yielded OR = 2.6 (95% CI = 1.75–3.89) for CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association data identifies four new susceptibility loci for colorectal cancer

TL;DR: Four previously unreported CRC risk loci are identified at 14q22.2, highlighting the value of large sample series for discovery and follow-up of genetic variants contributing to the etiology of CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study identifies colorectal cancer susceptibility loci on chromosomes 10p14 and 8q23.3

Ian Tomlinson, +79 more
- 01 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: Genetic data provide further evidence for the 'common-disease common-variant' model of CRC predisposition and identify two previously unreported associations.
