Association between functional polymorphisms in genes involved in the MAPK signaling pathways and cutaneous melanoma risk
Carcinogenesis ·doi:10.1093/carcin/bgs407

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have mainly focused on top significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), most of which did not have clear biological functions but were just surrogates for unknown causal variants. Studying SNPs…

Genome-wide association study identifies a new melanoma susceptibility locus at 1q21.3
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.958

We performed a genome-wide association study of melanoma in a discovery cohort of 2,168 Australian individuals with melanoma and 4,387 control individuals. In this discovery phase, we confirm several previously characterized melanoma-associ…

Genome-wide association study identifies novel loci predisposing to cutaneous melanoma
Human molecular genetics ·doi:10.1093/hmg/ddr415

We performed a multistage genome-wide association study of melanoma. In a discovery cohort of 1804 melanoma cases and 1026 controls, we identified loci at chromosomes 15q13.1 (HERC2/OCA2 region) and 16q24.3 (MC1R) regions that reached genom…
