Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes

James D. McKay, +146 more
- 12 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: 18 susceptibility loci achieving genome-wide significance are identified, including 10 new loci linked with lung cancer overall and six loci associated with lung adenocarcinoma, highlighting the striking heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across the histological subtypes of lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare variants of large effect in BRCA2 and CHEK2 affect risk of lung cancer

Yufei Wang, +84 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The analysis demonstrates that imputation can identify rare disease-causing variants with substantive effects on cancer risk from preexisting genome-wide association study data and provides further evidence for inherited genetic susceptibility to lung cancer and its biological basis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Association Study in 79,366 European-ancestry Individuals Informs the Genetic Architecture of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels

Xia Jiang, +119 more
TL;DR: In a genome-wide association study of 79,366 individuals, Jiang et al. replicate four and identify two new genetic loci for serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and find evidence for a shared genetic basis with autoimmune diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum uric acid levels and multiple health outcomes: umbrella review of evidence from observational studies, randomised controlled trials, and Mendelian randomisation studies

TL;DR: Despite a few hundred systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and Mendelian randomisation studies exploring 136 unique health outcomes, convincing evidence of a clear role of SUA level only exists for gout and nephrolithiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of common genetic variation on lung cancer risk: meta-analysis of 14 900 cases and 29 485 controls

Maria Timofeeva, +61 more
TL;DR: A large analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies provides additional evidence for the role of inherited genetic susceptibility to lung cancer and insight into biological differences in the development of the different histological types of lung cancer.
