Discovery of common and rare genetic risk variants for colorectal cancer.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-018-0286-6

To further dissect the genetic architecture of colorectal cancer (CRC), we performed whole-genome sequencing of 1,439 cases and 720 controls, imputed discovered sequence variants and Haplotype Reference Consortium panel variants into genome…

Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for endometrial cancer.
Nature communications ·doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05427-7

Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of the female reproductive tract in developed countries. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we have previously identified eight risk loci for endometrial cancer. Here, we…

The OncoArray Consortium: A Network for Understanding the Genetic Architecture of Common Cancers.
Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology ·doi:10.1158/1055-9965.epi-16-0106

BackgroundCommon cancers develop through a multistep process often including inherited susceptibility. Collaboration among multiple institutions, and funding from multiple sources, has allowed the development of an inexpensive genotyping mi…

No clinical utility of KRAS variant rs61764370 for ovarian or breast cancer.
Gynecologic Oncology ·doi:10.1016/j.ygyno.2015.04.034

ObjectiveClinical genetic testing is commercially available for rs61764370, an inherited variant residing in a KRAS 3' UTR microRNA binding site, based on suggested associations with increased ovarian and breast cancer risk as well as with …
