Common variation at 6q16 within HACE1 and LIN28B influences susceptibility to neuroblastoma

TLDR
Data show that common variants in HACE1 and LIN28B influence neuroblastoma susceptibility and indicate that both genes likely have a role in disease progression.
Abstract
John Maris and colleagues identify common variants at 6q16 associated with neuroblastoma susceptibility. The risk variants are located near the HACE1 and LIN28B genes, both of which show altered expression in advanced neuroblastomas.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations

TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: This article showed that OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 factors are sufficient to reprogram human somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells that exhibit the essential characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

METAL: fast and efficient meta-analysis of genomewide association scans.

TL;DR: METAL provides a computationally efficient tool for meta-analysis of genome-wide association scans, which is a commonly used approach for improving power complex traits gene mapping studies.

A flexible and accurate genotype imputation method for the next generation of genome-wide association studies.

TL;DR: It is found that imputation accuracy can be greatly enhanced by expanding the reference panel to contain thousands of chromosomes and that IMPUTE v2 outperforms other methods in this setting at both rare and common SNPs, with overall error rates that are 15%–20% lower than those of the closest competing method.

Supporting Online Material for Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: Yu et al. as discussed by the authors proposed online material for induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from human Somatic Cells, which can be used for transplanting human stem cells to humans.
