Differences in polygenic score distributions in European ancestry populations: implications for breast cancer risk prediction

This study examines differences in polygenic risk score distributions across European populations and shows how country-specific calibration can improve breast cancer risk prediction.

Combining Asian-European Genome-Wide Association Studies of Colorectal Cancer Improves Risk Prediction Across Race and Ethnicity

This study improves polygenic risk scores for colorectal cancer by combining Asian and European ancestry data, enhancing risk prediction across diverse racial and ethnic groups.

Breast cancer risks associated with missense variants in breast cancer susceptibility genes

The paper assesses breast cancer risks linked to rare missense variants in five susceptibility genes using logistic and mixture models, finding varying risk contributions across genes.

Genetic architectures of proximal and distal colorectal cancer are partly distinct

This study identifies 13 new genetic loci specific to proximal or distal colorectal cancer subtypes, revealing partly distinct genetic architectures for these tumor locations.

Physical activity and risks of breast and colorectal cancer: A Mendelian randomization analysis

This study uses Mendelian randomization to show that higher physical activity levels are associated with lower risks of breast and colorectal cancer.
