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…

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…

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…
