Only one falls into a haplotype previously associated with other cancer types (rs7705526, in TERT intron 1), and this SNP has been shown to alter TERT promoter activity. One of the novel associations (rs13174814) maps to a second region in the TERT promoter and the other (rs62329728) is in the promoter region of CLPTM1L; neither are correlated with previously reported cancer-associated SNPs. Using TCGA RNASeq data, we found significantly increased expression of both TERT and CLPTM1L in endometrial cancer tissue compared with normal tissue (TERTP = 1.5 × 10−18, CLPTM1LP = 1.5 × 10−19). Our study thus reports a novel endometrial cancer risk locus and expands the spectrum of cancer types associated with genetic variation at 5p15, further highlighting the importance of this region for cancer susceptibility.]]> Tue 10 Oct 2023 08:38:44 AEDT ]]> Genetic variation in mitotic regulatory pathway genes is associated with breast tumor grade https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20582 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:36 AEDT ]]> Comprehensive genetic assessment of the ESR1 locus identifies a risk region for endometrial cancer https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26799 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:26 AEDT ]]> Exploring the genetics of irritable bowel syndrome: a GWA study in the general population and replication in multinational case-control cohorts https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26934 KDELR2 (KDEL endoplasmic reticulum protein retention receptor 2) and GRID2IP (glutamate receptor, ionotropic, delta 2 (Grid2) interacting protein), showed consistent IBS risk effects in the index GWAS and all replication cohorts and reached p=9.31×10-6 in a meta-analysis of all datasets. Several SNPs in this region are associated with cis effects on KDELR2 expression, and a trend for increased mucosal KDLER2 mRNA expression was observed in IBS cases compared with controls. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that general population-based studies combined with analyses of patient cohorts provide good opportunities for gene discovery in IBS. The 7p22.1 and other risk signals detected in this study constitute a good starting platform for hypothesis testing in future functional investigations.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:31 AEDT ]]>
