Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

Kyriaki Michailidou, +220 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, and identified 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping suggests that more than 1,000 additional loci are involved in breast cancer susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci

Kyriaki Michailidou, +396 more
- 02 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of breast cancer in 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls of European ancestry and 14,068 cases and 13,104 controls of East Asian ancestry finds that heritability of Breast cancer due to all single-nucleotide polymorphisms in regulatory features was 2–5-fold enriched relative to the genome- wide average.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 23 new prostate cancer susceptibility loci using the iCOGS custom genotyping array

Rosalind A. Eeles, +156 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a custom Illumina array (iCOGS) was used to genotype 211,155 SNPs in blood DNA from 25,074 prostate cancer cases and 24,272 controls from the international PRACTICAL Consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analysis of more than 120,000 individuals identifies 15 new susceptibility loci for breast cancer

Kyriaki Michailidou, +283 more
- 09 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: 15 new loci associated with breast cancer at P < 5 × 10−8 are identified, and one association appears to be driven by an amino acid substitution encoded in EXO1, which is found in women of European ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of Breast Cancer Risk Based on Profiling With Common Genetic Variants

Nasim Mavaddat, +242 more
TL;DR: The PRS stratifies breast cancer risk in women both with and without a family history of breast cancer, and the observed level of risk discrimination could inform targeted screening and prevention strategies.
