Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies novel breast cancer susceptibility loci

Douglas F. Easton, +109 more
- 28 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: To identify further susceptibility alleles, a two-stage genome-wide association study in 4,398 breast cancer cases and 4,316 controls was conducted, followed by a third stage in which 30 single nucleotide polymorphisms were tested for confirmation.
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

Beyond GWASs: illuminating the dark road from association to function.

TL;DR: Recent approaches to the functional follow-up of GWAS loci, including fine mapping ofGWAS signal(s), prioritization of putative functional SNPs by the integration of genetic epidemiological and bioinformatic methods, and in vitro and in-vivo experimental verification of predicted molecular mechanisms for identifying the targeted genes are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A common coding variant in CASP8 is associated with breast cancer risk

Angela Cox, +84 more
- 11 Feb 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that common breast cancer susceptibility alleles with small effects on risk can be identified, given sufficiently powerful studies, as well as the need for further studies to confirm putative genetic associations with breast cancer.
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.
