Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls

Paul Burton, +195 more
- 07 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer

Ludmil B. Alexandrov, +84 more
- 22 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that hypermutation localized to small genomic regions, ‘kataegis’, is found in many cancer types, and this results reveal the diversity of mutational processes underlying the development of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cancer genome

TL;DR: This work has shown that the complete DNA sequence of large numbers of cancer genomes will be possible to obtain and will provide a detailed and comprehensive perspective on how individual cancers have developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A census of human cancer genes

TL;DR: A 'census' of cancer genes is conducted that indicates that mutations in more than 1% of genes contribute to human cancer.
