Distinct germline genetic susceptibility profiles identified for common non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes
Lymphoma risk is elevated for relatives with common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes, suggesting shared genetic susceptibility across subtypes. To evaluate the extent of mutual heritability among NHL subtyp...

Open AccessTime trend and Bayesian map** of multiple myeloma incidence in Sardinia, Italy
A few reports have described increasing trends and spatial distribution of multiple myeloma (MM). We used a validated database including the 1606 cases of MM diagnosed in Sardinia in 1974–2003 to explore its t...

Open AccessGenome-wide association analysis implicates dysregulation of immunity genes in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Several chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) susceptibility loci have been reported; however, much of the heritable risk remains unidentified. Here we perform a meta-analysis of six genome-wide association stud...

Analysis of potential influence factors on background urinary benzene concentration among a non-smoking, non-occupationally exposed general population sample
Analytical difficulties and lack of a biological exposure index and reference values have prevented using unmetabolized urinary benzene (UB) excretion as a biomarker of low-level environmental exposure. To ex...
