Open AccessPathway analysis of genome-wide data improves warfarin dose prediction
Many genome-wide association studies focus on associating single loci with target phenotypes. However, in the setting of rare variation, accumulating sufficient samples to assess these associations can be diff...

Alcohol, genetics and risk of breast cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial
We tested the hypothesis that genes involved in the alcohol oxidation pathway modify the association between alcohol intake and breast cancer. Subjects were women aged 55–74 at baseline from the screening arm ...

Small molecule antagonists of the TGF-β1/TGF-β receptor binding interaction
Excessive and inappropriate action of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several disease processes, especially cancer and fibrosis. To identify antagonists of the TGF...

Transforming growth factor-β and multidrug resistance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) frequently respond to initial treatment, but then become resistant to chemotherapy. Studies have shown one important cause of chemotherapeutic resistance to be ...
