      Battram, Thomas; Richmond, Rebecca C.; Baglietto, Laura; Haycock, Philip C.; Perduca, Vittorio; Bojesen, Stig E.; Gaunt, Tom R.; Hemani, Gibran; Guida, Florence; Carreras-Torres, Robert; Hung, Rayjean; Amos, Christopher I.; Freeman, Joshua R.; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Nordestgaard, Børge G.; Teschendorff, Andrew E.; Polidoro, Silvia; Vineis, Paolo; Severi, Gianluca; Hodge, Allison M.; Giles, Graham G; Grankvist, Kjell; Johansson, Mikael B.; Johansson, Mattias; Smith, George Davey; Relton, Caroline L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-24)
      <i>Background</i> - DNA methylation changes in peripheral blood have recently been identified in relation to lung cancer risk. Some of these changes have been suggested to mediate part of the effect of smoking on lung cancer. However, limitations with conventional mediation analyses mean that the causal nature of these methylation changes has yet to be fully elucidated.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - We ...

    • Association of Selenoprotein and Selenium Pathway Genotypes with Risk of Colorectal Cancer and Interaction with Selenium Status 

      Fedirko, Veronika; Jenab, Mazda; Méplan, Catherine; Jones, Jeb S.; Zhu, Wanzhe; Schomburg, Lutz; Siddiq, Afshan; Hybsier, Sandra; Overvad, Kim; Tjønneland, Anne; Omichessan, Hanane; Perduca, Vittorio; Boutron-Ruault, Marie-Christine; Kühn, Tilman; Katzke, Verena; Aleksandrova, Krasimira; Trichopoulou, Antonia; Karakatsani, Anna; Kotanidou, Anastasia; Tumino, Rosario; Panico, Salvatore; Masala, Giovanna; Agnoli, Claudia; Naccarati, Alessio; Bueno-De-Mesquita, Bas; Vermeulen, Roel C.H.; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Skeie, Guri; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Lujan-Barroso, Leila; Quirós, Jose Ramón; Huerta, José María; Rodríguez-Barranco, Miguel; Barricarte, Aurelio; Gylling, Björn; Harlid, Sophia; Bradbury, Kathryn Erica; Wareham, Nick; Khaw, Kay-Tee; Gunter, Marc J.; Murphy, Neil; Freisling, Heinz; Tsilidis, Kostas; Aune, Dagfinn; Riboli, Elio; Hesketh, John E.; Hughes, David J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-25)
      Selenoprotein genetic variations and suboptimal selenium (Se) levels may contribute to the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) development. We examined the association between CRC risk and genotype for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in selenoprotein and Se metabolic pathway genes. <i>Illumina Goldengate</i> assays were designed and resulted in the genotyping of 1040 variants in 154 genes ...

    • Identifying and correcting epigenetics measurements for systematic sources of variation 

      Perrier, Flavie; Novoloaca, Alexei; Ambatipudi, Srikant; Baglietto, Laura; Ghantous, Akram; Perduca, Vittorio; Barrdahl, Myrto; Harlid, Sophia; Ong, Ken K; Cardona, Alexia; Polidoro, Silvia; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Overvad, Kim; Omichessan, Hanane; Dollé, Martijn; Bamia, Christina; Huerta, José María; Vineis, Paolo; Herceg, Zdenko; Romieu, Isabelle; Ferrari, Pietro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-21)
      <i>Background</i>: Methylation measures quantified by microarray techniques can be affected by systematic variation due to the technical processing of samples, which may compromise the accuracy of the measurement process and contribute to bias the estimate of the association under investigation. The quantification of the contribution of the systematic source of variation is challenging in datasets ...

    • Mediating Role of Lifestyle Behaviors in the Association between Education and Cancer: Results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition 

      Macciotta, Alessandra; Catalano, Alberto; Giraudo, Maria Teresa; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Ferrari, Pietro; Freisling, Heinz; Colorado-Yohar, Sandra M.; Santiuste, Carmen; Amiano, Pilar; Heath, Alicia K.; Ward, Heather A.; Christakoudi, Sofia; Vineis, Paolo; Singh, Deependra; Vaccarella, Salvatore; Schulze, Matthias B.; Hiensch, Anouk E.; Monninkhof, Evelyn M.; Katzke, Verena; Kaaks, Rudolf; Tumino, Rosario; Lazzarato, Fulvio; Milani, Lorenzo; Agudo, Antonio; Dahm, Christina C.; Baglietto, Laura; Perduca, Vittorio; Severi, Gianluca; Grioni, Sara; Panico, Salvatore; Ardanaz, Eva; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Benebo, Faith Owunari; Braaten, Tonje; Sánchez, Maria-Jose; Giachino, Claudia; Sacerdote, Carlotta; Ricceri, Fulvio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-09)
      Background: Many studies have shown that socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with the incidence of malignant tumors at different sites. This study aims to estimate the association between educational level (as proxy for SEP) and cancer incidence and to understand whether the observed associations might be partially explained by lifestyle behaviors.<p> <p>Methods: The analyses were performed ...

    • Predicting breast cancer metastasis from whole-blood transcriptomic measurements 

      Holsbø, Einar; Perduca, Vittorio; Bongo, Lars Ailo; Lund, Eiliv; Birmelé, Etienne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-20)
      <i>Objective</i> - In this exploratory work we investigate whether blood gene expression measurements predict breast cancer metastasis. Early detection of increased metastatic risk could potentially be life-saving. Our data comes from the Norwegian Women and Cancer epidemiological cohort study. The women who contributed to these data provided a blood sample up to a year before receiving a breast ...

    • Shrinkage estimation of rate statistics 

      Holsbø, Einar Jakobsen; Perduca, Vittorio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-08)
      This paper presents a simple shrinkage estimator of rates based on Bayesian methods. Our focus is on crime rates as a motivating example. The estimator shrinks each town’s observed crime rate toward the country-wide average crime rate according to town size. By realistic simulations we confirm that the proposed estimator outperforms the maximum likelihood estimator in terms of global risk. We also ...

    • Vitamin D-related genes, blood vitamin D levels and colorectal cancer risk in Western European populations 

      Fedirko, Veronika; Mandle, Hannah B.; Zhu, Wanzhe; Hughes, David J.; Siddiq, Afshan; Ferrari, Pietro; Romieu, Isabelle; Riboli, Elio; Bueno-de-Mesquita, Hendrik Bastiaan; van Duijnhoven, Fränzel J.B.; Siersema, Peter D.; Tjønneland, Anne; Olsen, Anja; Perduca, Vittorio; Carbonnel, Franck; Boutron-Ruault, Marie-Christine; Kühn, Tilman; Johnson, Theron; Krasimira, Aleksandrova; Trichopoulou, Antonia; Makrythanasis, Periklis; Thanos, Dimitris; Panico, Salvatore; Krogh, Vittorio; Sacerdote, Carlotta; Skeie, Guri; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Colorado-Yohar, Sandra; Sala, Núria; Barricarte, Aurelio; Sánchez, María-José; Quirós, Ramón; Amiano, Pilar; Gylling, Björn; Harlid, Sophia; Perez-Cornago, Aurora; Heath, Alicia K.; Tsilidis, Konstantinos K.; Aune, Dagfinn; Freisling, Heinz; Murphy, Neil; Gunter, Marc J.; Jenab, Mazda (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-20)
      Higher circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25(OH)D) have been found to be associated with lower risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) in prospective studies. Whether this association is modified by genetic variation in genes related to vitamin D metabolism and action has not been well studied in humans. We investigated 1307 functional and tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; individually, ...
