Alcohol consumption and risk of cancer: a Mendelian randomization analysis of four biobanks and consortium data - BMC Medicine Background Alcohol consumption has been linked to cancer risk. Evidence is strongest for seven cancer types: breast, colorectum, oesophagus, liver, mouth, pharynx, and larynx. However, evidence suppor...

New paper: "Alcohol consumption and risk of cancer: a Mendelian randomization analysis of four biobanks and consortium data" out at BMC Medicine: link.springer.com/article/10.1.... Lots of interesting findings! Brief thread:

Exome sequencing identifies HELB as a novel susceptibility gene for non-mucinous, non-high-grade-serous epithelial ovarian cancer European Journal of Human Genetics - Exome sequencing identifies HELB as a novel susceptibility gene for non-mucinous, non-high-grade-serous epithelial ovarian cancer

Our paper using exome case-control data to identify HELB as a susceptibility gene (i.e. loss-of-function variants risk associated) for non-mucinous, non-high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer out now in EJHG. Team too many to name.

Evaluating the performance of the BOADICEA model in predicting 10-year breast cancer risks in UK Biobank AbstractBackground. The BOADICEA model predicts breast cancer risk using cancer family history, epidemiological and genetic data. We evaluated its validity

Latest study on evaluating the multifactorial BOADICEA model, implemented in CanRisk (www.canrisk.org), for predicting 10-year breast cancer risks in the prospective #UKBiobank cohort, from our @antonis02.bsky.social group, published in JNCI
