  Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women worldwide. Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in breast cancer aetiology. We conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 14 224 cases and 14 829 controls of East Asian women to search for novel genetic susceptibility loci for breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two loci were found to be associated with breast cancer risk at the genome-wide significance level. The first locus, represented by rs12118297 at 1p22.3 (near the LMO4 gene), was associated with breast cancer risk with odds ratio (OR) and (95% confidence interval (CI)) of 0.91 (0.88-0.94) and a P-value of 4.48 × 10 This association was replicated in another study, DRIVE GAME-ON Consortium, includ

• Sex‐specific genetic architecture of late‐life memory performance - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37984853

  ABSTRACT: Abstract BACKGROUND Women demonstrate a memory advantage when cognitively healthy yet lose this advantage to men in Alzheimer's disease. However, the genetic underpinnings of this sex difference in memory performance remain unclear. METHODS We conducted the largest sex‐aware genetic study on late‐life memory to date (N males = 11,942; N females = 15,641). Leveraging harmonized memory composite scores from four cohorts of cognitive aging and AD, we performed sex‐stratified and sex‐interaction genome‐wide association studies in 24,216 non‐Hispanic White and 3367 non‐Hispanic Black participants. RESULTS We identified three sex‐specific loci (rs67099044-CBLN2, rs719070-SCHIP1/IQCJ‐SCHIP), including an X‐chromosome locus (rs5935633-EGL6/TCEANC/OFD1), that
