TL;DR: The pooled analysis suggested that an abnormal nevus phenotype is associated most with melanomas on intermittently sun‐exposed sites, and the presence of increased numbers of nevi, large nevi and clinically atypical nevi on the body are robust risk factors for melanoma showing little variation in relative risk among studies performed at different latitudes.

TL;DR: Gestational age at birth and early antibiotic exposure have significant effects on the premature infant gut microbiota.

TL;DR: The goal of the present study was to develop and evaluate several alternatives to large‐scale permutation testing for assessing the statistical significance of MDR models and find that this new hypothesis testing method provides a reasonable alternative to the computationally expensive 1,000‐fold permutation test and is 50 times faster.

TL;DR: Genetic variation in genes that regulate telomere maintenance, mitosis, inflammation, and apoptosis have not been assessed extensively for bladder cancer and can now be assessed in multiple study populations to identify and validate SNPs appropriate for clinical use.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an agnostic subset-based meta-analysis (association analysis based on subsets) across six distinct cancers in 34 248 cases and 45 036 controls.
