Background Endometriosis is a risk factor for epithelial ovarian cancer; however, whether
this risk extends to all invasive histological subtypes or borderline tumours is not clear. We …

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 …

Background The understanding of ovarian cancer pathogenesis has recently shifted to
recognize distinct changes in how ovarian cancer histotypes are defined. Using the 2014 World …

Although several lung cancer susceptibility loci have been identified, much of the heritability
for lung cancer remains unexplained. Here 14,803 cases and 12,262 controls of European …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified four susceptibility loci for
epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), with another two suggestive loci reaching near genome-wide …

To identify common alleles associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC),
we pooled data from multiple genome-wide genotyping projects totaling 25,509 EOC …

Epithelial ovarian cancer has a major heritable component, but the known susceptibility
genes explain less than half the excess familial risk 1 . We performed a genome-wide …

INTRODUCTION Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes located at the end of chromosomes
that protect chromosome ends from degradation and fusion. The DNA component of …

Whilst previous studies have reported that higher BMI increases a woman's risk of developing
ovarian cancer, associations for the different histological subtypes have not been well …

Determining protein levels in each tissue and how they compare with RNA levels is important
for understanding human biology and disease as well as regulatory processes that control …
