Journal ArticleDOI

Haplotype-based analysis of common variation in the acetyl-CoA carboxylase α gene and breast cancer risk: A case-control study nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition

TL;DR: An effect on overall risk of breast cancer in homozygous carriers of one common haplotype is found and a possible role of the ACC-α common sequence variants in susceptibility to breast cancer is suggested, which should be considered as preliminary and evaluated in larger independent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase 15-(NAD) ( HPGD ) variants and colorectal cancer risk

TL;DR: The data do not support the previously reported associations of HPGD tagSNPs and risk of CRC, and none of the haplotypes was found to be associated with CRC, colon or rectal cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of nasal and oropharyngeal microbiomes in a multicenter population-based study – findings from Pretest 1 of the German National Cohort

TL;DR: It is suggested that nasal and oropharyngeal swabbing are highly feasible methods for human population-based studies that include the characterization of microbial community structures in these important ecological niches, and that self-collection of nasal swabs at home can be used to reduce cost and resources needed, particularly when serial measurements are to be taken.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphisms in heterocyclic aromatic amines metabolism-related genes are associated with colorectal adenoma risk

TL;DR: Polymorphisms in NAT1, NAT2, and GSTA1 are related to colorectal adenoma risk in this German cohort, and homozygous carriers of the A allele of rs3957357 (GSTA1), i.e., those with a decreased enzyme activity, had a decreased risk of coloreCTalAdenoma.
Journal Article

n6/n3 hypothesis and allergies: biologically plausible, but not confirmed

TL;DR: It is concluded that the n6/n3- ratio hypothesis is not confirmed although biological plausible, and the dietary intake of certain fatty acids might contribute to the development of atopic diseases like allergic rhinitis and asthma.
