Journal ArticleDOI

Association between endometriosis and risk of histological subtypes of ovarian cancer: a pooled analysis of case-control studies.

Celeste Leigh Pearce, +50 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the association between self-reported endometriosis and risk of ovarian cancer was found to be a risk factor for epithelial ovarian cancer; however, whether this risk extends to all invasive histological subtypes or borderline tumours is not clear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer

Stig E. Bojesen, +455 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, SNPs at the TERT locus in breast, ovarian and BRCA1 mutation carrier cancer cases and controls and leukocyte telomere measurements are analyzed to find associations cluster into three independent peaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

GWAS meta-analysis and replication identifies three new susceptibility loci for ovarian cancer

Paul D.P. Pharoah, +176 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: An integrated molecular analysis of genes and regulatory regions at these loci provided evidence for functional mechanisms underlying susceptibility and implicated CHMP4C in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility loci for ovarian cancer at 2q31 and 8q24

Ellen L. Goode, +115 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Nine additional candidate loci are reported on and analysis of HOXD1, MYC, TIPARP and SKAP1 at these loci and of BNC2 at 9p22 supports a functional role for these genes in ovarian cancer development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 12 new susceptibility loci for different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer

Catherine M. Phelan, +443 more
- 01 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: Integrated analyses of genes and regulatory biofeatures at each locus predicted candidate susceptibility genes, including OBFC1, a new candidate susceptibility gene for low-grade and borderline serous EOC.
