Initial expectations for genome-wide association studies were high, as such studies
promised to rapidly transform personalized medicine with individualized disease risk …

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the
world and the tenth most common in China. Epithelial OC is the most predominant …

Importance The clinical management ofBRCA1andBRCA2mutation carriers requires
accurate, prospective cancer risk estimates. Objectives To estimate age-specific risks of …

Deciphering the shared genetic basis of distinct cancers has the potential to elucidate
carcinogenic mechanisms and inform broadly applicable risk assessment efforts. Here, we …

To identify common alleles associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer
(EOC), we pooled data from multiple genome-wide genotyping projects totaling 25,509 EOC …

Classical genetic approaches for interpreting variants, such as case-control or co-
segregation studies, require finding many individuals with each variant. Because the …

Genes in which germline mutations confer highly or moderately increased risks of cancer
are called cancer predisposition genes. More than 100 of these genes have been identified …

Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 94 common single-
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with breast cancer (BC) risk and 18 …

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the commonest cause of gynaecological cancer-associated
death. The disease typically presents in postmenopausal women, with a few months of …

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have
been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for∼ …
