Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes

James D. McKay, +146 more
- 12 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: 18 susceptibility loci achieving genome-wide significance are identified, including 10 new loci linked with lung cancer overall and six loci associated with lung adenocarcinoma, highlighting the striking heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across the histological subtypes of lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple Independent Loci at Chromosome 15q25.1 Affect Smoking Quantity: a Meta-Analysis and Comparison with Lung Cancer and COPD

Nancy L. Saccone, +65 more
- 05 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence that multiple statistically distinct loci in this region affect smoking behavior, and is the first report of association between rs588765 (and correlates) and smoking that achieves genome-wide significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of systemic sclerosis identifies CD247 as a new susceptibility locus

Timothy R D J Radstake, +63 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: The first genome-wide association study in a population of European ancestry including a total of 2,296 individuals with SSc and 5,171 controls identified a new susceptibility locus for systemic sclerosis at CD247 (1q22–23, rs2056626).
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare variants of large effect in BRCA2 and CHEK2 affect risk of lung cancer

Yufei Wang, +84 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The analysis demonstrates that imputation can identify rare disease-causing variants with substantive effects on cancer risk from preexisting genome-wide association study data and provides further evidence for inherited genetic susceptibility to lung cancer and its biological basis.
Journal ArticleDOI

International genome-wide meta-analysis identifies new primary biliary cirrhosis risk loci and targetable pathogenic pathways

Heather J. Cordell, +477 more
TL;DR: This work discovers and validate six previously unknown risk loci for PBC and used pathway analysis to identify JAK-STAT/IL12/IL27 signalling and cytokine–cytokine pathways, for which relevant therapies exist.
