Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases A Mendelian Randomization Study

Philip C Haycock, +197 more
- 01 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese subjects identifies susceptibility loci at PLCE1 and C20orf54.

Li-Dong Wang, +128 more
- 01 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: A previously unknown susceptibility locus for ESCC is identified: PLCE1 at 10q23, which might regulate cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis and has important biological implications for both ESCC and GCA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic susceptibility to SLE: Recent progress from GWAS

TL;DR: This review summarizes the key loci, achieving genome-wide significance, which have been shown to predispose to SLE and may help building the foundation for genetic diagnosis and personalized treatment for patients with SLE in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corrigendum: Genome-wide association study of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese subjects identifies susceptibility loci at PLCE1 and C20orf54

Li-Dong Wang, +127 more
- 01 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: The authors now find no evidence to support association with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma susceptibility for rs13042395[T] at 20p13 in their original data, in two independent sets of cases and controls collected in other Chinese populations or in the joint analysis of these three studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep sequencing of the MHC region in the Chinese population contributes to studies of complex disease

TL;DR: The entire 5-Mb MHC region in 20,635 individuals of Han Chinese ancestry is sequenced and a Han-MHC database is constructed that includes both variants and HLA gene typing results of high accuracy to advance understanding of the pathogenesis of these disorders.
