Journal ArticleDOI

A multi-stage genome-wide association study of bladder cancer identifies multiple susceptibility loci

Nathaniel Rothman, +113 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Two new regions associated with bladder cancer on chromosomes 22q13.1, 19q12 and 2q37.1 are identified and previous candidate associations for the GSTM1 deletion and a tag SNP for NAT2 acetylation status are validated, and interactions with smoking in both regions are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence Variant on 8q24 Confers Susceptibility to Urinary Bladder Cancer

Lambertus A. Kiemeney, +67 more
- 01 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: No association was observed between UBC and the four 8q24 variants previously associated with prostate, colorectal and breast cancers, nor did rs9642880 associate with any of these three cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carcinogenicity of azo colorants: influence of solubility and bioavailability.

TL;DR: It appears well established that the aromatic amine components from azo pigments based on 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine are practically not bioavailable, and it is very unlikely that occupational exposure to insoluble azo Pigments would be associated with a substantial risk of (bladder) cancer in man.
Journal ArticleDOI

A sequence variant at 4p16.3 confers susceptibility to urinary bladder cancer.

Lambertus A. Kiemeney, +82 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results show a link between germline variants, somatic mutations of FGFR3 and risk of UBC, and Notably, rs798766[T] shows stronger association with low-grade and low-stage UBC than with more aggressive forms of the disease and is associated with higher risk of recurrence in low- grade stage Ta tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Markers of genetic susceptibility in human environmental hygiene and toxicology: The role of selected CYP, NAT and GST genes

TL;DR: The hypothesis has been put forward that genetic polymorphism of GSTM1 might be linked with the occurrence of human bladder cancer, and this supports the hypothesis that exposure to PAH might causally be involved in urothelial cancers.
