Genome-wide association meta-analyses combining multiple risk phenotypes provide insights into the genetic architecture of cutaneous melanoma susceptibility
Most genetic susceptibility to cutaneous melanoma remains to be discovered. Meta-analysis genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 36,760 cases of melanoma (67% newly genotyped) and 375,188 controls identified ...

Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks
We examined common variation in asthma risk by conducting a meta-analysis of worldwide asthma genome-wide association studies (23,948 asthma cases, 118,538 controls) of individuals from ethnically diverse popu...

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies five new susceptibility loci for cutaneous malignant melanoma
Matthew Law, Mark Iles and colleagues report the results of a large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of cutaneous malignant melanoma. They confirm previously reported association signals and identify five new s...

Rare missense variants in POT1 predispose to familial cutaneous malignant melanoma
Maria Teresa Landi and colleagues identify a rare missense variant in POT1 shared by five melanoma-prone families from Italy and associated with increased telomere length and telomere fragility. They also identif...

Article
Genome-wide association study identifies three loci associated with melanoma risk
Timothy Bishop and colleagues from GenoMEL present a genome-wide association study for melanoma. They report three loci associated with susceptibility to melanoma, of which two were previously associated with ...

Common sequence variants on 20q11.22 confer melanoma susceptibility
Brown et al. report results of a genome-wide association study for melanoma. Their screen, which used a pooling strategy, identified common variants on 20q11.22 associated with melanoma susceptibility. In two sep...

Open AccessA two-step multiple-marker strategy for genome-wide association studies
Genome-wide association studies raise study-design and analytical issues that are still being debated. Among them, stands the issue of reducing the number of markers to be genotyped without loss of efficiency ...

Dissecting the loci controlling fetal haemoglobin production on chromosomes 11p and 6q by the regressive approach
The Changes in the type of haemoglobin (Hb) produced during embryonic, fetal and adult life, have served as a paradigm for understanding the developmental regulation of human genes. A genetically determined pe...
