Analysis of Heritability and Shared Heritability Based on Genome-Wide Association Studies for 13 Cancer Types

Joshua N. Sampson, +407 more
TL;DR: The heritability and genetic correlation attributable to the additive effects of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for cancer at 13 anatomical sites are estimated, providing important insights into the genetic architecture of cancers and suggest new avenues for investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variation in genes coding for AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and breast cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation on Cancer (EPIC)

TL;DR: It is observed that there is no statistically significant association between the SNPs in the PRKAs genes and BC risk and BMI after correction for multiple testing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient caloric restriction and cancer risk (The Netherlands).

TL;DR: Because caloric restriction in humans for preventive health measures would be mostly short-term, it is important to extend animal research on short- term caloric restriction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between changes in fat distribution and biomarkers for breast cancer

TL;DR: In the population of healthy overweight postmenopausal women, loss of fat at different body locations was associated with changes in different types of biomarkers, known to be related to risk of breast cancer.
