Although progress has been made in developing new therapies and deepening the biological understanding of ovarian carcinoma (OvCa), it continues to be the most lethal gynecologic cancer in women [...].
BackgroundThe poor chemo-response and high DNA methylation of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) have attracted extensive attentions. Recently, we revealed the mutational landscape of the human kinome and additional cancer-related genes an…
To identify credible causal risk variants (CCVs) associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we performed genome-wide association analysis for 470,825 genotyped and 10,163,797 imputed SNPs in 25,981 EOC cases an…
BackgroundKnown risk alleles for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) account for approximately 40% of the heritability for EOC. Copy number variants (CNVs) have not been investigated as EOC risk alleles in a large population cohort.MethodsSingl…
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have the potential to improve risk stratification. Joint estimation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) effects in models could improve predictive performance over standard…
