Optical Genome and Epigenome Mapping of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

The paper uses optical genome and epigenome mapping to identify somatic alterations in early-stage clear cell renal cell carcinoma, revealing both known and novel genomic and epigenomic changes.

Large-scale genome-wide association study of 398,238 women unveils seven novel loci associated with high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer risk

This study identifies seven novel genetic loci associated with high-grade serous ovarian cancer risk using a large-scale GWAS and develops polygenic scores for improved risk prediction.

Genome-wide association study identifies 32 novel breast cancer susceptibility loci from overall and subtype-specific analyses

This study identifies 32 new breast cancer susceptibility loci through GWAS, with associations varying by tumor subtype and genetic correlations among subtypes.

Shared heritability and functional enrichment across six solid cancers

This study quantifies genetic correlations between six solid cancers and other diseases using GWAS data, finding shared heritability and functional enrichment in regulatory regions.

Novel pleiotropic risk loci for melanoma and nevus density implicate multiple biological pathways

This paper identifies novel pleiotropic risk loci for melanoma and nevus density, implicating multiple biological pathways and gene expression under MITF regulation.
