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.

Pleiotropy-guided transcriptome imputation from normal and tumor tissues identifies new candidate susceptibility genes for breast and ovarian cancer

This study improves transcriptome-wide association studies by integrating pleiotropy-guided methods with GWAS data to identify new cancer susceptibility genes.

Combining genome-wide studies of breast, prostate, ovarian and endometrial cancers maps cross-cancer susceptibility loci and identifies new genetic associations

This study combines genome-wide association data from four cancers to identify shared and novel genetic associations and pleiotropic effects.

Population based targeted sequencing of 54 candidate genes identifies PALB2 as a susceptibility gene for high grade serous ovarian cancer
