Genome-wide association study identifies a novel breast cancer susceptibility locus at 6q25.1
We carried out a genome-wide association study among Chinese women to identify risk variants for breast cancer. After analyzing 607,728 SNPs in 1,505 cases and 1,522 controls, we selected 29 SNPs for… Expand
Meta-analysis identifies common variants associated with body mass index in East Asians
Multiple genetic loci associated with obesity or body mass index (BMI) have been identified through genome-wide association studies conducted predominantly in populations of European ancestry. We… Expand

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… Expand
Association of menstrual and reproductive factors with breast cancer risk: Results from the Shanghai breast cancer study
The incidence of breast cancer among women in Shanghai, a traditionally low‐risk population, has increased substantially over the past 20 years. To evaluate the association of menstrual and… Expand

BACKGROUND
Breast cancer incidence is currently low in China. However, the distribution of reproductive and lifestyle risk factors for breast cancer among Chinese women is changing rapidly. We… Expand
Isothiocyanates, glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 polymorphisms, and lung-cancer risk: a prospective study of men in Shanghai, China
BACKGROUND
Dietary isothiocyanates inhibit lung carcinogenesis in laboratory animals but human data are limited. Glutathione S-transferases M1 and T1 (GSTM1 and GSTT1) conjugate isothiocyanates… Expand

BACKGROUND
Studies in laboratory animals have suggested inhibitory effects of green tea on the induction of some cancers, notably, esophageal cancer. However, only a few epidemiologic studies have… Expand
