A large-scale assessment of two-way SNP interactions in breast cancer susceptibility using 46 450 cases and 42 461 controls from the breast cancer association consortium

Roger L. Milne, +150 more
TL;DR: Little evidence of two-way SNP interactions in breast cancer susceptibility is observed, despite the large number of SNPs with potential marginal effects considered and the very large sample size, which may have important implications for risk prediction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xenotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue from patients with ovarian tumors into SCID mice—no evidence of malignant cell contamination

TL;DR: This study examined the possible presence of malignant cells in ovarian cortex from patients with ovarian tumors after xenografting of the ovarian tissue into severe combined immunodeficiency mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of neuroendocrine markers in different molecular subtypes of breast carcinoma

TL;DR: It is concluded that neuroendocrine differentiation is more common than assumed in poorly differentiated luminal B-like carcinomas, and use of specific neuro endocrine markers is encouraged in this subtype to enhance detection of neuroendsocrine differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fine-scale mapping of 8q24 locus identifies multiple independent risk variants for breast cancer

Jiajun Shi, +145 more
TL;DR: The results highlighted multiple 8q24 variants associated with breast cancer susceptibility in women of European ancestry and suggested SNPs rs7815245 in Signal 3, and rs1121948 in Signal 5, were putatively functional variants for two of the five independent association signals.

Shared genetics underlying epidemiological association between endometriosis and ovarian cancer

Yi Lu, +110 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found evidence for shared genetic risks between endometriosis and all histotypes of ovarian cancer, except for the intestinal mucinous type, using the customized Illumina Infinium iSelect (iCOGS) arrays.
