Multiple independent variants at the TERT locus are associated with telomere length and risks of breast and ovarian cancer.
(Nature Publishing Group (Macmillan), 2013-04)
TERT-locus SNPs and leukocyte telomere measures are reportedly associated with risks of multiple cancers. Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, we analyzed ~480 SNPs at the TERT locus in breast (n = 103,991), ...
Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk.
(Nature Publishing Group (Macmillan), 2013-03-27)
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 ~9% of the familial risk of the disease. We ...
