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…

Breast cancer stromal elastosis is associated with mammography screening detection, low Ki67 expression and favourable prognosis in a population-based study.
Diagnostic pathology ·doi:10.1186/s13000-014-0230-8

BackgroundMammography screen-detected breast cancers have a better prognosis than predicted from established prognostic markers. A search for additional features that are characteristic for these tumours and their prognosis is needed to red…

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…
