TL;DR: Genome-wide association analyses based on whole-genome sequencing and imputation identify 40 new risk variants for colorectal cancer, including a strongly protective low-frequency variant at CHD1 and loci implicating signaling and immune function in disease etiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypermethylation of the Human Glutathione S-Transferase-π Gene (GSTP1) CpG Island Is Present in a Subset of Proliferative Inflammatory Atrophy Lesions but Not in Normal or Hyperplastic Epithelium of the Prostate : A Detailed Study Using Laser-Capture Microdissection
Masashi Nakayama,Christina J. Bennett,Jessica Hicks,Jonathan I. Epstein,Elizabeth A. Platz,William G. Nelson,Angelo M. De Marzo +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that atrophic epithelium in a subset of PIA lesions may lead to high-grade PIN and/or adenocarcinoma is supported, because these atrophic lesions are so prevalent and extensive, even though only a small subset contains this somatic DNA alteration.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence that obesity is an independent risk factor for thyroid cancer, and the association between body mass index and thyroid cancer risk in both men and women is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between markers of the metabolic syndrome and lower urinary tract symptoms in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)
TL;DR: Findings support the role for metabolic perturbations in the etiology of LUTS, which often result from prostate enlargement and heightened tone of prostate and bladder smooth muscle.
