• Pan-cancer study detects genetic risk variants and shared genetic basis in two large cohorts - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32887889

  ABSTRACT: Deciphering the shared genetic basis of distinct cancers has the potential to elucidate carcinogenic mechanisms and inform broadly applicable risk assessment efforts. Here, we undertake genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and comprehensive evaluations of heritability and pleiotropy across 18 cancer types in two large, population-based cohorts: the UK Biobank (408,786 European ancestry individuals; 48,961 cancer cases) and the Kaiser Permanente Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging cohorts (66,526 European ancestry individuals; 16,001 cancer cases). The GWAS detect 21 genome-wide significant associations independent of previously reported results. Investigations of pleiotropy identify 12 cancer pairs exhibiting either positive or negative genetic correlations;

• Clustering of lymphoid neoplasms by cell of origin, somatic mutation and drug usage profiles: a multi-trait genome-wide association study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40883272

  ABSTRACT: Lymphoid neoplasms (LNs) are heterogeneous malignancies arising from lymphoid cells, displaying diverse clinical and molecular features. Although LNs are collectively frequent, individual subtypes are rare, posing challenges for genetic association studies. Indeed, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) explained only a fraction of the heritability. Shared genetic susceptibility and overlapping risk factors suggest a partially common etiology across subtypes. We employed a multi-trait GWAS strategy to improve discovery power by leveraging pleiotropy among LN subtypes. We defined LN phenoclusters based on cell of origin, somatic mutation profiles, and approved therapeutic agents. Using data from three large cohorts-the UK Biobank, Million Veteran Program, and FinnGen-we analyz
