Smoking-related gut microbiota alteration is associated with obesity and obesity-related diseases: results from two cohorts with sibling comparison analyses Open
While smoking may reduce weight through various mechanisms, alterations in gut microbiota related to smoking are associated with weight gain. Further research is required to determine if changes in the smoking-related microbiome contribute…

Smoking-related gut microbiota alteration is associated with obesity and obesity-related diseases: results from two independent cohorts with sibling comparison analyses Open
Background Individuals who smoke exhibit lower body mass index (BMI) but face an elevated risk of obesity-related diseases. Emerging evidence suggests smoking may influence the composition of the microbiome. Thus, this study aims to invest…

Measuring serum melatonin in postmenopausal women: Implications for epidemiologic studies and breast cancer studies Open
Our results suggest that it is possible to reliably measure melatonin in postmenopausal women in morning serum samples in large epidemiologic studies to evaluate the role of melatonin in cancer etiology or prognosis.

Circadian genes and risk of prostate cancer in the prostate cancer prevention trial Open
Circadian genes have been considered as a possible biological mechanism for the observed relationship between circadian rhythm disruptions and increased risk of hormone‐related cancers. In the current study, we investigated the relationshi…

Integration of multiethnic fine-mapping and genomic annotation to prioritize candidate functional SNPs at prostate cancer susceptibility regions Open
Interpretation of biological mechanisms underlying genetic risk associations for prostate cancer is complicated by the relatively large number of risk variants (n = 100) and the thousands of surrogate SNPs in linkage disequilibrium. Here, …

Methodological Considerations in Estimation of Phenotype Heritability Using Genome-Wide SNP Data, Illustrated by an Analysis of the Heritability of Height in a Large Sample of African Ancestry Adults Open
Height has an extremely polygenic pattern of inheritance. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed hundreds of common variants that are associated with human height at genome-wide levels of significance. However, only a small f…

Imputation and subset-based association analysis across different cancer types identifies multiple independent risk loci in the TERT-CLPTM1L region on chromosome 5p15.33 Open
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have mapped risk alleles for at least 10 distinct cancers to a small region of 63 000 bp on chromosome 5p15.33. This region harbors the TERT and CLPTM1L genes; the former encodes the catalytic subunit…
