Open AccessFine-map** analysis including over 254,000 East Asian and European descendants identifies 136 putative colorectal cancer susceptibility genes
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 200 common genetic variants independently associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but the causal variants and target genes are mostly unkn...

Open AccessCombining Asian and European genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer improves risk prediction across racial and ethnic populations
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have great potential to guide precision colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention by identifying those at higher risk to undertake targeted screening. However, current PRS using European a...

Zirconium-containing metal organic frameworks as solid acid catalysts for the N-formylation of aniline with formic acid
Porous Zr-based metal–organic frameworks (MOF-808 and MOF-808/H2SO4, UiO-66 and UiO-66-SO3H) were used as solid acid catalysts for N-formylation of aniline with formic acid (aniline/formic acid 1/2 mol/mol, 35 °C...

Synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine from 1,2-phenylenediamine and acetone in the presence of catalytic systems based on montmorillonite: effect of the surface acidity
The effect of the surface acidity of catalytic systems based on montmorillonite (Mt) on the formation of 1,5-benzodiazepine from 1,2-phenylenediamine and acetone was investigated. Two strategies were used for ...

Iron-containing materials as catalysts for the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepine from 1,2-phenylenediamine and acetone
The cyclocondensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine (I) with acetone was investigated in the presence of Fe-containing microporous nickel phosphate molecular sieves (Fe-VSB-5) and Fe-containing mesoporous mesophase ...

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes
Christopher Amos and colleagues perform genome-wide association analysis for lung cancer using cohorts genotyped on the OncoArray and combing these with existing data. They identify 18 loci, 10 of which are ne...

Correction: Corrigendum: Rare variants of large effect in BRCA2 and CHEK2 affect risk of lung cancer
Nat. Genet. 46, 736–741 (2014); published online 1 June 2014; corrected after print 23 January 2017 In the version of this article initially published, the name of author Florence Le Calvez-Kelm appeared incor...

Open AccessMendelian randomisation analysis strongly implicates adiposity with risk of develo** colorectal cancer
Observational studies have associated adiposity with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, such studies do not establish a causal relationship. To minimise bias from confounding we performed a...

Open AccessRare disruptive mutations and their contribution to the heritable risk of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) displays a complex pattern of inheritance. It is postulated that much of the missing heritability of CRC is enshrined in high-impact rare alleles, which are mechanistically and clinical...

Open AccessGlycosylation of plasma IgG in colorectal cancer prognosis
In this study we demonstrate the potential value of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation as a novel prognostic biomarker of colorectal cancer (CRC). We analysed plasma IgG glycans in 1229 CRC patients and corr...

Open AccessRecurrent Coding Sequence Variation Explains Only A Small Fraction of the Genetic Architecture of Colorectal Cancer
Whilst common genetic variation in many non-coding genomic regulatory regions are known to impart risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), much of the heritability of CRC remains unexplained. To examine the role of re...

Rare variants of large effect in BRCA2 and CHEK2 affect risk of lung cancer
Richard Houlston, Maria Teresa Landi and colleagues report the identification of large-effect associations for squamous lung cancer with rare variants in BRCA2 and CHEK2.

Laser flash photolysis study of photocatalytic properties of pillared interlayered clays and Fe,Al-silica mesoporous catalysts
Laser flash photolysis was applied to determine the primary photochemical processes over iron-containing clay (montmorillonite KSF), pillared interlayered clays (PILCs) and mesoporous mesophase iron silicate m...
