Most human genes have multiple sites at which RNA 3ʹ end cleavage and polyadenylation
can occur, enabling the expression of distinct transcript isoforms under different conditions …

Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor, representing 81% of malignant
brain tumors. Although relatively rare, they cause significant mortality and morbidity …

Breast cancer susceptibility variants frequently show heterogeneity in associations by tumor
subtype,–. To identify novel loci, we performed a genome-wide association study including …

Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of noncoding variants
associated with human traits and diseases. However, the functional interpretation of these …

Background The prediction of clinical behavior, response to therapy, and outcome of
infiltrative glioma is challenging. On the basis of previous studies of tumor biology, we …

The selective pressures that shape clonal evolution in healthy individuals are largely
unknown. Here we investigate 8,342 mosaic chromosomal alterations, from 50 kb to 249 Mb …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide an agnostic approach for investigating
the genetic basis of complex diseases. In oncology, GWAS of nearly all common …

Gliomas are one of the most common types of primary brain tumors and have remained
particularly challenging to treat. This review illustrates a multidisciplinary approach to the …

Background CBTRUS is currently the only population-based site-specific registry in the US
that works in partnership with a public cancer surveillance organization, the CDC's NPCR …

Here we describe the insights gained from sequencing the whole genomes of 2,636
Icelanders to a median depth of 20×. We found 20 million SNPs and 1.5 million insertions …
