Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive genomic profiles of small cell lung cancer

Julie George, +95 more
- 06 Aug 2015 - 
TL;DR: This first comprehensive study of somatic genome alterations in SCLC uncovers several key biological processes and identifies candidate therapeutic targets in this highly lethal form of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25

Rayjean J. Hung, +64 more
- 03 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results provide compelling evidence of a locus at 15q25 predisposing to lung cancer, and reinforce interest in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors as potential disease candidates and chemopreventative targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrative genome analyses identify key somatic driver mutations of small-cell lung cancer

Martin Peifer, +94 more
- 01 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: This study implicates histone modification as a major feature of SCLC, reveals potentially therapeutically tractable genomic alterations and provides a generalizable framework for the identification of biologically relevant genes in the context of high mutational background.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative high-throughput analysis of DNA methylation patterns by base-specific cleavage and mass spectrometry

TL;DR: A previously uncharacterized method for high-throughput DNA methylation analysis that utilizes MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of base-specifically cleaved amplification products is presented and it is demonstrated that the quantitative methylation results allow accurate classification of samples according to their histopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity, metabolic factors and risk of different histological types of lung cancer: A Mendelian randomization study

Robert Carreras-Torres, +64 more
- 08 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: The results are consistent with a causal role of fasting insulin and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in lung cancer etiology, as well as for BMI in squamous cell and small cell carcinoma, and the latter relation may be mediated by a previously unrecognized effect of obesity on smoking behavior.
