Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association studies identify four ER negative-specific breast cancer risk loci

Montserrat Garcia-Closas, +287 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: SNPs at four loci were associated with ER-negative but not ER-positive breast cancer (P > 0.05), providing further evidence for distinct etiological pathways associated with invasive ER- positive and ER- negative breast cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-environment interactions for complex traits: Definitions, methodological requirements and challenges

TL;DR: This review discusses methodological issues involved in investigating gene–environment (G × E) interactions in genetic–epidemiological studies of complex diseases and their potential relevance for clinical application and attempts to clarify conceptual differences of the term ‘interaction’ in the statistical and biological sciences.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of breast cancer identifies two novel susceptibility loci at 6q14 and 20q11

Afshan Siddiq, +144 more
TL;DR: The largest meta-analysis of ER-negative disease to date, comprising 4754 ER- negative cases and 31 663 controls from three GWAS, identified two novel loci for breast cancer at 20q11 and 6q14 and confirmed three known loci associated with ER- Negative, triple negative and ER-positive breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene polymorphisms in Toll-like receptors, interleukin-10, and interleukin-10 receptor alpha and lymphoma risk.

TL;DR: An effect of polymorphisms in factors of the innate immune response in the aetiology of some lymphoma subtypes is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) Is Associated with Early-Onset Lung Cancer

TL;DR: MMP1 was identified to be associated with an increased risk for lung cancer, which was modified by smoking, and haplotype analysis supported these findings, especially for subgroups with high smoking intensity.
