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…

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…

Germline Mutations in the BRIP1, BARD1, PALB2, and NBN Genes in Women With Ovarian Cancer.
Journal of the National Cancer Institute ·doi:10.1093/jnci/djv214

BackgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, responsible for 13 000 deaths per year in the United States. Risk prediction based on identifying germline mutations in ovarian cancer susceptibility gen…

Polymorphism in the IL18 gene and epithelial ovarian cancer in non-Hispanic white women.
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-08-0548

Over 22,000 cases of ovarian cancer were diagnosed in 2007 in the United States, but only a fraction of them can be attributed to mutations in highly penetrant genes such as BRCA1. To determine whether low-penetrance genetic variants contri…
