Journal ArticleDOI

Tobacco-smoking-related differential DNA methylation: 27K discovery and replication.

TL;DR: The results, which were based on a rigorous replication approach, show that the gene coding for a potential drug target of cardiovascular importance features altered methylation patterns in smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analysis of more than 120,000 individuals identifies 15 new susceptibility loci for breast cancer

Kyriaki Michailidou, +283 more
- 09 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: 15 new loci associated with breast cancer at P < 5 × 10−8 are identified, and one association appears to be driven by an amino acid substitution encoded in EXO1, which is found in women of European ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of Breast Cancer Risk Based on Profiling With Common Genetic Variants

Nasim Mavaddat, +242 more
TL;DR: The PRS stratifies breast cancer risk in women both with and without a family history of breast cancer, and the observed level of risk discrimination could inform targeted screening and prevention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

A nuclear function of β-arrestin1 in GPCR signaling : Regulation of histone acetylation and gene transcription

TL;DR: A novel function of betaarr1 is revealed as a cytoplasm-nucleus messenger in GPCR signaling and an epigenetic mechanism for direct GPCRs signaling from cell membrane to the nucleus through signal-dependent histone modification is elucidated.
