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…

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution.
Nature ·doi:10.1038/nature14132

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links…

Medical history, lifestyle, and occupational risk factors for hairy cell leukemia: the InterLymph Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Subtypes Project.
Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Monographs ·doi:10.1093/jncimonographs/lgu004

BackgroundLittle is known about the etiology of hairy cell leukemia (HCL), a rare B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder with marked male predominance. Our aim was to identify key risk factors for HCL.MethodsA pooled analysis of individual-lev…
