Journal ArticleDOI

A large-scale, consortium-based genomewide association study of asthma.

TL;DR: A few common alleles are associated with disease risk at all ages and suggest a role for communication of epithelial damage to the adaptive immune system and activation of airway inflammation in asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

A SUMOylation-defective MITF germline mutation predisposes to melanoma and renal carcinoma

Corine Bertolotto, +98 more

TL;DR: A germline missense substitution in MITF (Mi-E318K) is identified that occurred at a significantly higher frequency in genetically enriched patients affected with melanoma, RCC or both cancers, when compared with controls and provides insights into the link between SUMOylation, transcription and cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies three loci associated with melanoma risk.

D. Timothy Bishop, +54 more
- 05 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: Despite wide variation in allele frequency, these genetic variants show notable homogeneity of effect across populations of European ancestry living at different latitudes and show independent association to disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of 17q21 variants and smoking exposure in early-onset asthma.

TL;DR: This study shows that the increased risk of asthma conferred by 17q21 genetic variants is restricted to early-onset asthma and that the risk is further increased by early-life exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
