Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of COVID-19 among front-line health-care workers and the general community: a prospective cohort study.

Long H. Nguyen, +81 more
TL;DR: In the UK and the USA, risk of reporting a positive test for COVID-19 was increased among front-line health-care workers, and adequacy of PPE, clinical setting, and ethnic background were also important factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

Kyriaki Michailidou, +220 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, and identified 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping suggests that more than 1,000 additional loci are involved in breast cancer susceptibility.
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

Genome-wide association studies identify four ER negative-specific breast cancer risk loci

Montserrat Garcia-Closas, +287 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: SNPs at four loci were associated with ER-negative but not ER-positive breast cancer (P > 0.05), providing further evidence for distinct etiological pathways associated with invasive ER- positive and ER- negative breast cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis identifies new loci associated with body mass index in individuals of African ancestry.

Keri L. Monda, +221 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis to examine the association of >3.2 million SNPs with BMI in 39,144 men and women of African ancestry and followed up the most significant associations in an additional 32,268 individuals ofAfrican ancestry provides strong support for shared BMI loci across populations, as well as for the utility of studying ancestrally diverse populations.
