Genome-wide association study identifies novel breast cancer susceptibility loci (2007)

Easton, Douglas F., Pooley, Karen A., Dunning, Alison M., Pharoah, Paul D.P., Thompson, Deborah, Ballinger, Dennis G., ...

Breast cancer exhibits familial aggregation, consistent with variation in genetic susceptibility to the disease. Known susceptibility genes account for less than 25% of the familial risk of breast...

Common variants in the ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2and TP53cancer susceptibility genes are unlikely to increase breast cancer risk (2007)

Baynes, Caroline, Healey, Catherine S, Pooley, Karen A, Scollen, Serena, Luben, Robert N, Thompson, Deborah J, ...

Abstract Introduction Certain rare, familial mutations in the ATM , BRCA1 , BRCA2 , CHEK2 or TP53 genes increase susceptibility to breast cancer but it has not, until now, been clear whether common...

Association between Common Variation in 120 Candidate Genes and Breast Cancer Risk (2007)

Jonathan Tyrer, Alison M. Dunning, Douglas F. Easton

Association studies in candidate genes have been widely used to search for common low penetrance susceptibility alleles, but few definite associations have been established. We have conducted...

Large-Scale Evidence for the Effect of the COLIA1 Sp1 Polymorphism on Osteoporosis Outcomes: The GENOMOS Study (2006)

A large collaborative European study finds only weak links between a much studied potential genetic risk factor and bone mineral density or fracture risk.

Large-Scale Evidence for the Effect of the COLIA1 Sp1 Polymorphism on Osteoporosis Outcomes: The GENOMOS Study (2006)

Stuart H. Ralston, André G. Uitterlinden, Maria Luisa Brandi, Susana Balcells, Bente L. Langdahl, Paul Lips, ...

Background Osteoporosis and fracture risk are considered to be under genetic control. Extensive work is being performed to identify the exact genetic variants that determine this risk. Previous work...

Genetic Variation in the HSD17B1 Gene and Risk of Prostate Cancer (2005)

Peter Kraft, Paul Pharoah, Stephen J. Chanock, Demetrius Albanes, Laurence N. Kolonel, Richard B. Hayes, ...

Steroid hormones are believed to play an important role in prostate carcinogenesis, but epidemiological evidence linking prostate cancer and steroid hormone genes has been inconclusive, in part due...

Common ERBB2polymorphisms and risk of breast cancer in a white British population: a case–control study (2005)

Benusiglio, Patrick R, Lesueur, Fabienne, Luccarini, Craig, Conroy, Donald M, Shah, Mitul, Easton, Douglas F, ...

Abstract Introduction About two-thirds of the excess familial risk associated with breast cancer is still unaccounted for and may be explained by multiple weakly predisposing alleles. A gene thought...

Red clover-derived isoflavones and mammographic breast density: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial [ISRCTN42940165] (2004)

Atkinson, Charlotte, Warren, Ruth ML, Sala, Evis, Dowsett, Mitch, Dunning, Alison M, Healey, Catherine S, ...

Abstract Introduction Isoflavones are hypothesized to protect against breast cancer, but it is not clear whether they act as oestrogens or anti-oestrogens in breast tissue. Our aim was to determine...

The Extent of Linkage Disequilibrium in Four Populations with Distinct Demographic Histories

Dunning, Alison M., Durocher, Francine, Healey, Catherine S., Teare, M. Dawn, McBride, Simon E., Carlomagno, Francesca, ...

The design and feasibility of whole-genome–association studies are critically dependent on the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers. Although there has been extensive theoretical...

Two amino acid substitutions in apolipoprotein B are in complete allelic association with the antigen group (x/y) polymorphism: Evidence for little recombination in the 3' end of the human gene

Dunning, Alison M., Renges, Helmut-H., Xu, Chun-Fang, Peacock, Rachel, Brasseur, Robert, Laxer, Gerald, ...

We report the identification of an A-to-G base change, in exon 29 of the apolipoprotein B (apo B) gene, that results in the substitution of serine for asparagine at residue 4311 of mature apo B100....
