• Neural crest-derived tumor neuroblastoma and melanoma share 1p13.2 as susceptibility locus that shows a long-range interaction with the SLC16A1 gene. - Carcinogenesis (2020) · Avitabile M, Succoio M, Testori A, Cardinale A, Vaksman Z, Lasorsa VA, Cantalupo S, Esposito M, Cimmino F, Montella A, Formicola D, Koster J, Andreotti V, Ghiorzo P, Romano MF, Staibano S, Scalvenzi M, Ayala F, Hakonarson H, Corrias MV, Devoto M, Law MH, Iles MM, Brown K, Diskin S, Zambrano N, Iolascon A, Capasso M · PubMed 31605138

  Neuroblastoma (NB) and malignant cutaneous melanoma (CMM) are neural crest cells (NCC)-derived tumors and may have a shared genetic basis, but this has not been investigated systematically by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We took a three-staged approach to conduct cross-disease meta-analysis of GWAS for NB and CMM (2101 NB cases and 4202 controls; 12 874 CMM cases and 23 203 controls) to identify shared loci. Findings were replicated in 1403 NB cases and 1403 controls of European ancestry and in 636 NB, 508 CMM cases and 2066 controls of Italian origin. We found a cross-association at locus 1p13.2 (rs2153977, odds ratio = 0.91, P = 5.36 × 10-8). We also detected a suggestive (P < 10-7) NB-CMM cross-association at 2q37.1 with opposite effect on cancer risk. Pathway analysis of 11

• Genome-wide analysis in over 1 million individuals of European ancestry yields improved polygenic risk scores for blood pressure traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38689001

  ABSTRACT: Hypertension affects more than one billion people worldwide. Here we identify 113 novel loci, reporting a total of 2,103 independent genetic signals (P < 5 × 10−8) from the largest single-stage blood pressure (BP) genome-wide association study to date (n = 1,028,980 European individuals). These associations explain more than 60% of single nucleotide polymorphism-based BP heritability. Comparing top versus bottom deciles of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) reveals clinically meaningful differences in BP (16.9 mmHg systolic BP, 95% CI, 15.5-18.2 mmHg, P = 2.22 × 10−126) and more than a sevenfold higher odds of hypertension risk (odds ratio, 7.33; 95% CI, 5.54-9.70; P = 4.13 × 10−44) in an independent dataset.
