Three genetic loci for lung cancer risk have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but inherited susceptibility to specific histologic types of lung cancer is not well established. We conducted a GWAS of lung cancer and its major histologic types genotyping 515,922 single n...
Cancer associated fibroblasts characterized by an myofibroblastic phenotype play a major role in the tumour microenvironment, being associated with poor prognosis. We found that this cell population is made in part by senescent fibroblasts in vivo. As senescent fibroblasts and myofibroblasts have be...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) genome-wide association study (GWAS) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was conducted to investigate common genetic variants associated with RCC risk. The GWAS includes 1,453 RCC cases and 3,531 controls of European background from 4 studies (3 cohort, 1 case-con...
This study funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) involves conducting a genome-wide association study of common genetic variants to identify markers of susceptibility to bladder cancer.
This bladder GWAS has led to the discovery of three novel regions in the genome associated with...
