Interpretation of genome-wide association study results.
As genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have opened the door to systematic discovery of genetic factors for complex diseases, including cancers, the clinical utility of the findings remains to be determined. This is elegantly discussed in the article in this issue of ONCOLOGY by Stadler et al. The authors rightfully caution against the use of “personal genomic tests” based on cancer GWAS resu...
متن کاملChromosome 9p21 in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the UK and seven other countries: a genome-wide association study
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease of motor neurons that results in progressive weakness and death from respiratory failure, commonly within about 3 years. Previous studies have shown association of a locus on chromosome 9p with ALS and linkage with ALS-frontotemporal dementia. We aimed to test whether this genomic region is also associated with ALS in...
متن کاملJapanese genome‐wide association study identifies a significant colorectal cancer susceptibility locus at chromosome 10p14
Genome-wide association studies are a powerful tool for searching for disease susceptibility loci. Several studies identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) connected intimately to the onset of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been published, but there are few reports of genome-wide association studies in Japan. To identify genetic variants that modify the risk of CRC oncogenesis, especiall...
متن کامل‘Next-generation’ genome wide association studies
The first wave of cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed tens of independent loci marked by common variants of unknown or likely no functional significance that explain about 5-10% of familial risk for the particular disease. The approach taken to date has been conservative, and only a fraction of information has yet to be extracted from these expensive enterprises. For exa...
متن کاملNovel breast cancer susceptibility locus at 9q31.2: results of a genome-wide association study.
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have identified several common genetic variants associated with breast cancer risk. It is likely, however, that a substantial proportion of such loci have not yet been discovered. METHODS We compared 296,114 tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 1694 breast cancer case subjects (92% with two primary cancers or at least two affected first-degree ...
