Epidemiology of basal-like breast cancer

TL;DR: In the Carolina Breast Cancer Study, a population-based, case-control study of African-American and white women, the authors found that up to 68% of basal-like breast cancer could be prevented by promoting breastfeeding and reducing abdominal adiposity as mentioned in this paper.
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

The landscape of recombination in African Americans

Anjali Gupta Hinch, +91 more
- 11 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: This work builds a genetic map measuring the probability of crossing over at each position in the genome, based on about 2.1 million crossovers in 30,000 unrelated African Americans, and identifies about 2,500 recombination hotspots that are active in people of West African ancestry but nearly inactive in Europeans.
Journal ArticleDOI

A common variant at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus is associated with estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer

Christopher A. Haiman, +135 more
- 01 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: The results identify a genetic locus associated with estrogen receptor negative breast cancer subtypes in multiple populations in multiple population of women.
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.
