Silicone casts of the dorsum of the hand provide a measure of cumulative UVR dose and number of sunburns over the lifetime, which persists after adjustment for chronological age. They can be used as an objective measure of cumulative past sun exposure in epidemiologic studies, but other determinants of skin damage, such as skin pigmentation, should be concurrently evaluated.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:44 AEDT ]]> Genetic polymorphisms in xenobiotic clearance genes and their influence on disease expression in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer patients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:997 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:29:48 AEDT ]]> Exposure to diagnostic radiological procedures and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11344 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:08:16 AEDT ]]> Genome-wide association study identifies a possible susceptibility locus for endometrial cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17481 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:10 AEDT ]]> Maternal use of folic acid and other supplements and risk of childhood brain tumors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21562 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:02 AEDT ]]> Folate pathway gene polymorphisms and risk of childhood brain tumors: results from an Australian case-control study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27952 T, MTHFR 1298A>C, MTRR 66A>G, MTR 2756A>G, MTR 5049C>A, and CBS 2199 T>C). Maternal folic acid use was ascertained via questionnaire. ORs were estimated using unconditional logistic regression. Case–parent trio analyses were also undertaken. Results: There was weak evidence of a reduced risk of CBT for the MTRR 66GG genotype in the child or father: ORs 0.71 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.48–1.07]; 0.54 (95% CI, 0.34–0.87), respectively. Maternal prepregnancy folic acid supplementation showed a stronger negative association with CBT risk where the child, mother, or father had the MTRR 66GG genotype (Pinteraction = 0.07, 0.10, and 0.18, respectively). Conclusions: Evidence for an association between folate pathway genotypes and CBT is limited in this study. There was possible protection by the MTRR 66GG genotype, particularly when combined with maternal prepregnancy folic acid supplementation; these results are novel and require replication. Impact: The possible interaction between folic acid supplementation and MTRR 66A>G, if confirmed, would strengthen evidence for prepregnancy folate protection against CBT.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:45 AEDT ]]> Folate pathway gene polymorphisms, maternal folic acid use, and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26915 T, MTHFR 1298A>C, MTRR 66A>G, MTR 2756 A>G, MTR 5049 C>A, CBS 844 Ins68, and CBS 2199 T>C) were genotyped in children and their parents. Information on prepregnancy maternal folic acid supplement use was collected. ORs were estimated with unconditional logistic regression adjusted for frequency-matched variables and potential confounders. Case-parent trios were also analyzed. Results: There was some evidence of a reduced risk of ALL among children who had, or whose father had, the MTRR 66GG genotype: ORs 0.60 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39-0.91] and 0.64 (95% CI, 0.40-1.03), respectively. The ORs for paternal MTHFR 677CT and TT genotypes were 1.41 (95% CI, 1.02-1.93) and 1.81 (95% CI, 1.06-3.07). ORs varied little by maternal folic acid supplementation. Conclusions: Some folate pathway gene polymorphisms in the child or a parent may influence ALL risk. While biologically plausible, underlying mechanisms for these associations need further elucidation. Impact: Folate pathway polymorphisms may be related to risk of childhood ALL, but larger studies are needed for conclusive results.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:34 AEDT ]]> Cross-Cancer Genome-Wide Association Study of Endometrial Cancer and Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Identifies Genetic Risk Regions Associated with Risk of Both Cancers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47283 Fri 13 Jan 2023 10:24:53 AEDT ]]>
