Identification of 12 new susceptibility loci for different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.3826

To identify common alleles associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we pooled data from multiple genome-wide genotyping projects totaling 25,509 EOC cases and 40,941 controls. We identified nine new susceptib…

Assessment of variation in immunosuppressive pathway genes reveals TGFBR2 to be associated with risk of clear cell ovarian cancer.
Oncotarget ·doi:10.18632/oncotarget.10215

BackgroundRegulatory T (Treg) cells, a subset of CD4+ T lymphocytes, are mediators of immunosuppression in cancer, and, thus, variants in genes encoding Treg cell immune molecules could be associated with ovarian cancer.MethodsIn a populati…

High-risk HPV is not associated with epithelial ovarian cancer in a Caucasian population.
Infectious agents and cancer ·doi:10.1186/s13027-016-0087-4

BackgroundHigh-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) has been suspected to play a role in the carcinogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, results from previous studies are conflicting. In most of these studies, the number of tissu…

Identification of six new susceptibility loci for invasive epithelial ovarian cancer.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.3185

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 12 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) susceptibility alleles. The pattern of association at these loci is consistent in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers who are at high risk of EOC. After…
