Novel Genetic Risk Loci for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Identified in a Genome-wide Study of African Ancestry Individuals

This study identifies novel genetic risk loci for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in African ancestry individuals through admixture mapping and GWAS.

Spatial Single-Cell Atlas Reveals KSHV-Driven Broad Cellular Reprogramming, Progenitor Expansion, Immune and Vascular Remodeling in Kaposi's Sarcoma

This paper presents a spatial single-cell atlas of Kaposi's sarcoma, identifying CD34+ progenitor lymphatic endothelial cells as primary targets of KSHV and revealing mechanisms of tumor progression and immune modulation.

Genetic predisposition to altered blood cell homeostasis is associated with glioma risk and survival

This study identifies genetic associations between blood cell traits and glioma risk and survival, highlighting immune-mediated mechanisms and subtype-specific effects.

A multilayered post-GWAS assessment on genetic susceptibility to pancreatic cancer

The paper uses a multi-layered approach combining GWAS, spatial autocorrelation, and Hi-C to identify novel genetic variants associated with pancreatic cancer susceptibility.

Bayesian copy number detection and association in large-scale studies

This paper develops a Bayesian method to detect copy number variants and assess their association with disease in large-scale studies, finding deletions near MYC and TUSC3 linked to pancreatic cancer.
