Epigenetic Predictors of Smoking: External Validation and Association With Smoking-Related Cancer Risk.

Tobacco smoking has a strong influence on DNA methylation (DNAm), enabling the development of DNAm-based smoking predictors, yet external evaluations of these have remained limited. We aimed to assess six DNAm-based smoking predictors in a large sample of middle-aged and older Australians for (i) their accuracy and rel...

Consumption of Processed Meat and Unprocessed Red Meat and Risk of Bladder Cancer: A Pooled Analysis of 30 Cohort Studies

Background: Processed meat and unprocessed red meat are considered carcinogenic and ‘probably carcinogenic’ to humans, respectively, but findings for bladder cancer remain inconsistent. Objectives: We assessed associations between processed meat and unprocessed red meat intake and bladder cancer risk using data from th...

Multi-population GWAS meta-analysis identifies bladder cancer susceptibility loci and highlights genetic regulation of smoking-related risk

A multi-population meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies, including 32,470 individuals with and 1,753,462 without bladder cancer, identifies 70 independent risk loci, of which 43 are novel, and uses experimental approaches to uncover how inherited variation influences this risk in the context of smoking.
