Variations in percent mammographic density (PMD) reflect variations in the amounts of
collagen and number of epithelial and non-epithelial cells in the breast. Extensive PMD is …

There has been considerable recent interest in the genetic, biological and epidemiological
basis of mammographic density (MD), and the search for causative links between MD and …

Recent advances in the identification of susceptibility genes and environmental exposures
provide broad support for a post-infectious autoimmune basis for narcolepsy/hypocretin …

We analyzed 3,872 common genetic variants across the ESR1 locus (encoding estrogen
receptor α) in 118,816 subjects from three international consortia. We found evidence for at …

The genetic contributions to breast cancer development among Latinas are not well
understood. Here we carry out a genome-wide association study of breast cancer in Latinas …

Mammographic density reflects the amount of stromal and epithelial tissues in relation to
adipose tissue in the breast and is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. Here we report the …

Common genetic variants contribute to the observed variation in breast cancer risk for
BRCA2 mutation carriers; those known to date have all been found through population …

High mammographic density is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, and of all
known breast cancer risk factors has the greatest attributable fraction. Mammographic …

Mammographic density (MD) phenotypes are strongly associated with breast cancer risk
and highly heritable. In this GWAS meta-analysis of 24,192 women, we identify 31 MD loci at …

To identify new genetic risk factors for Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, we
conducted a genome-wide association study of 2,208,258 SNPs in 774 cases and 2,009 …
