Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have previously identified 13 loci associated with
risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL). To identify …

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoma subtype and is
clinically aggressive. To identify genetic susceptibility loci for DLBCL, we conducted a meta …

Background Genome-wide association studies have identified three chromosomal regions
at 15q25, 5p15, and 6p21 as being associated with the risk of lung cancer. To confirm these …

Objective Cigarette smoking has been reported as “probable” risk factor for Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a poorly understood disease in terms of aetiology. The extensive …

Background There is limited evidence for an association between the pattern of lifetime
alcohol use and cause-specific risk of death. Methods Multivariable hazard ratios were …

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a common lymphoid malignancy with strong
heritability. To further understand the genetic susceptibility for CLL and identify common loci …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of follicular lymphoma (FL) have previously
identified human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene variants. To identify additional FL …

High circulating concentration of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and low circulating
concentration of IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) have been associated with increased risk …

Background: Vitamin D is hypothesized to lower the risk of breast cancer by inhibiting cell
proliferation via the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). Two common single nucleotide …

Evidence from a small number of studies suggests that longer telomere length measured in
peripheral leukocytes is associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) …
