Sequence variants at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus associate with many cancer types.

Thorunn Rafnar, +89 more
- 01 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is found that rs401681[C] on chromosome 5p15 satisfied the threshold for genome-wide significance and seems to confer protection against cutaneous melanoma, and investigation of the region led to rs2736098[A], which showed stronger association with some cancer types, but neither variant could fully account for the association of the other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence Variant on 8q24 Confers Susceptibility to Urinary Bladder Cancer

Lambertus A. Kiemeney, +67 more
- 01 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: No association was observed between UBC and the four 8q24 variants previously associated with prostate, colorectal and breast cancers, nor did rs9642880 associate with any of these three cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation in the prostate stem cell antigen gene PSCA confers susceptibility to urinary bladder cancer

TL;DR: A missense variant (rs2294008) in the PSCA gene showed consistent association with bladder cancer in US and European populations and was identified as a new bladder cancer susceptibility locus.
