Genome-wide meta-analyses of Breast, Ovarian and Prostate Cancer Association studies identify multiple new susceptibility loci shared by at least two cancer types

Abstract:

Breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers are hormone-related and may have a shared genetic basis but this has not been investigated systematically by genome-wide association (GWA) studies. Meta-analyses combining the largest GWA meta-analysis data sets for these cancers totaling 112,349 cases and 116,421 controls of European ancestry, all together and in pairs, identified at P < 10^-8 seven new cross-cancer loci: three associated with susceptibility to all three cancers (rs17041869/2q13/B...
