Genome-wide association study of endometrial cancer in E2C2

Immaculata De Vivo, +59 more
- 01 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that larger studies with specific tumor classification are necessary to identify novel genetic polymorphisms associated with EC susceptibility, and previously identified associations with genetic markers near the HNF1B locus are replicated.
Posted ContentDOI

Assessment of Polygenic Architecture and Risk Prediction based on Common Variants Across Fourteen Cancers

Yan Zhang, +110 more
- 09 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that polygenic risk scores have substantial potential for risk stratification for relatively common cancers such as breast, prostate and colon, but limited potential for other cancer sites because of modest heritability and lower disease incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies common susceptibility polymorphisms for colorectal and endometrial cancer near SH2B3 and TSHZ1

Timothy H.T. Cheng, +106 more
- 01 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: Using CRC and EC genome-wide association series, it was found that the protective allele at one previously-identified CRC polymorphism was associated with EC risk, and neither of two previously-reported EC polymorphisms were associated with CRC risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk Prediction Models for Colorectal Cancer Incorporating Common Genetic Variants: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: This review updated the previous review by searching Medline and EMBASE to identify models incorporating at least one SNP and applicable to asymptomatic individuals in the general population and identified 23 new models, giving a total of 29.
