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…

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…

Beta-hCG/LH receptor (b-HCG/LH-R) expression is increased in invasive versus preinvasive breast cancer: implications for breast carcinogenesis?
Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology ·doi:10.1007/s00432-008-0458-3

IntroductionThe role of the b-HCG/LH/LH-R system in breast cancer is conflicting. Whereas some reports suggest a protective effect of b-HCG on breast epithelium, vitro studies implicate a role of b-HCG/LH-R in the development and growth of …
