Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies five new susceptibility loci for cutaneous malignant melanoma.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.3373

Thirteen common susceptibility loci have been reproducibly associated with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). We report the results of an international 2-stage meta-analysis of CMM genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This meta-analysis…

2014
The effect on melanoma risk of genes previously associated with telomere length.
Journal of the National Cancer Institute ·doi:10.1093/jnci/dju267

Telomere length has been associated with risk of many cancers, but results are inconsistent. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with mean leukocyte telomere length were either genotyped or well-imputed in 111…

Meta-analysis combining new and existing data sets confirms that the TERT-CLPTM1L locus influences melanoma risk.

Genome-wide association study identifies a new melanoma susceptibility locus at 1q21.3.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.958

We performed a genome-wide association study of melanoma in a discovery cohort of 2,168 Australian individuals with melanoma and 4,387 control individuals. In this discovery phase, we confirm several previously characterized melanoma-associ…

Genome-wide association study identifies novel loci predisposing to cutaneous melanoma.
Human molecular genetics ·doi:10.1093/hmg/ddr415

We performed a multistage genome-wide association study of melanoma. In a discovery cohort of 1804 melanoma cases and 1026 controls, we identified loci at chromosomes 15q13.1 (HERC2/OCA2 region) and 16q24.3 (MC1R) regions that reached genom…
