Suicidal risk factors and completed suicide: meta-analyses based on psychological autopsy studies
TL;DR: The purpose of the present review is to evaluate the effects of common risk factors for suicide by meta-analyses using data extracted from studies based on the psychological autopsy method, and substance-related disorders and mood disorders were strongly associated with an increased risk of completed suicide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic polymorphisms in the nucleotide excision repair pathway and lung cancer risk: A meta-analysis
TL;DR: Considering the data available, it can be conjectured that if there is any risk association between a single SNP and lung cancer, the risk fluctuation will probably be minimal and it is likely that the defining feature of future epidemiologic studies will be the simultaneous analysis of large samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Elevated ORs for psychological distress were seen in Japan, Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Turkey but reduced ORs were noted in Austria, China, Iran, Italy, and the United States; and psychological distress was strongly associated with reports of suicide ideation and attempts.
Journal ArticleDOI
EPHX1 polymorphisms and the risk of lung cancer: a HuGE review.
TL;DR: The low-activity genotype of EPHX1 gene is associated with decreased risk of lung cancer among whites, and this enzyme may act as a phase I enzyme in lung carcinogenesis.
NQO1, MPO, and the risk of lung cancer: A HuGE
TL;DR: In future studies on lung cancer, the development of haplotype-based approaches will facilitate the evaluation of haplotypic effects, either for selected polymorphisms physically close to each other or for multiple genes within the same drug-metabolism pathway.
