Genome-wide meta-analyses identify multiple loci associated with smoking behavior

Helena Furberg, +123 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analyses of several smoking phenotypes within cohorts of the Tobacco and Genetics Consortium found the strongest association was a synonymous 15q25 SNP in the nicotinic receptor gene CHRNA3, and three loci associated with number of cigarettes smoked per day were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mediation analysis in epidemiology: methods, interpretation and bias

TL;DR: The impact of the three main sources of potential bias in the traditional approach to mediation analyses are reviewed and discussed: (i) mediator-outcome confounding; (ii) exposure-mediator interaction and (iii) mediATOR- outcome confounding affected by the exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age at Surgery for Undescended Testis and Risk of Testicular Cancer

TL;DR: Treatment for undescended testis before puberty decreases the risk of testicular cancer, and the effect of age at orchiopexy on the risk in the cohort was similar in comparisons within the cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cigarette smoking and lung cancer – relative risk estimates for the major histological types from a pooled analysis of case-control studies

TL;DR: The major result that smoking exerted a steeper risk gradient on SqCC and SCLC than on AdCa is in line with previous population data and biological understanding of lung cancer development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity and specificity of posterior corneal elevation measured by Pentacam in discriminating keratoconus/subclinical keratoconus.

TL;DR: Posterior corneal elevation very effectively discriminates keratoconus from normal corneas, and its efficacy is lower for subclinical keratconus, and thus data concerning posterior elevation should not be used alone to stratify patients with this condition.
