Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci
- K. Michailidou, S. Lindström, +356 authors D. Easton
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 23 October 2017
Breast cancer risk is influenced by rare coding variants in susceptibility genes, such as BRCA1, and many common, mostly non-coding variants. However, much of the genetic contribution to breast… Expand
Genome-wide association analysis of more than 120,000 individuals identifies 15 new susceptibility loci for breast cancer
- K. Michailidou, J. Beesley, +240 authors D. Easton
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 9 March 2015
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and large-scale replication studies have identified common variants in 79 loci associated with breast cancer, explaining ∼14% of the familial risk of the… Expand
Large-Scale Genomic Analyses Link Reproductive Aging to Hypothalamic Signaling, Breast Cancer Susceptibility, and BRCA1-Mediated DNA Repair

ABSTRACT: Menopause timing has a major impact on infertility and risk of disease. Younger age at natural (nonsurgical) menopause (ANM) is associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular… Expand
Association between the BsmI Polymorphism in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene and Breast Cancer Risk: Results from a Pakistani Case-Control Study
- M. Rashid, M. Muzaffar, +5 authors U. Hamann

- 30 October 2015
Background Vitamin D is postulated to decrease the risk of breast cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation via the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the… Expand
Evidence that the 5p12 Variant rs10941679 Confers Susceptibility to Estrogen-Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer through FGF10 and MRPS30 Regulation
- M. Ghoussaini, Juliet D. French, +120 authors S. Edwards
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 15 September 2016
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed increased breast cancer risk associated with multiple genetic variants at 5p12. Here, we report the fine mapping of this locus using data from… Expand
Association of breast cancer risk with genetic variants showing differential allelic expression: Identification of a novel breast cancer susceptibility locus at 4q21

- 22 October 2016
There are significant inter-individual differences in the levels of gene expression. Through modulation of gene expression, cis-acting variants represent an important source of phenotypic variation.… Expand
Identification of ten variants associated with risk of estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer
- Roger L. Milne, Karoline B. Kuchenbaecker, +467 authors J. Simard
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 23 October 2017
Most common breast cancer susceptibility variants have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of predominantly estrogen receptor (ER)-positive disease. We conducted a GWAS… Expand
Genetically Predicted Body Mass Index and Breast Cancer Risk: Mendelian Randomization Analyses of Data from 145,000 Women of European Descent

- Medicine
- PLoS medicine
- 1 August 2016
Background Observational epidemiological studies have shown that high body mass index (BMI) is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women but an increased risk in… Expand
Identification of four novel susceptibility loci for oestrogen receptor negative breast cancer
- F. Couch, K. Kuchenbaecker, +246 authors A. Antoniou
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 27 April 2016
Common variants in 94 loci have been associated with breast cancer including 15 loci with genome-wide significant associations (P<5 × 10−8) with oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer and… Expand
Breast cancer risk variants at 6q25 display different phenotype associations and regulate ESR1, RMND1 and CCDC170
