BACKGROUND
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous lung cancer susceptibility loci based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), yet a substantial proportion of heritability remains unexplained. We therefore evaluated germline copy number variants (CNVs) as an underexplored source of genetic...

Identifying pathogenic germline variants in men with metastatic prostate cancer is important for therapeutic options and for identifying relatives who may have a high cancer risk. To keep genetic testing costs manageable, it is important to identify which patients should be selected for testing. In this study, we compa...

A multi-population meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies, including 32,470 individuals with and 1,753,462 without bladder cancer, identifies 70 independent risk loci, of which 43 are novel, and uses experimental approaches to uncover how inherited variation influences this risk in the context of smoking.

A pro-inflammatory lifestyle and diet, and systemic inflammation, as measured by hsCRP, were not associated with NMIBC outcomes in the authors' cohort, yet, contributions from specific inflammatory processes or other biomarkers cannot be excluded.
