To identify risk variants for glioma, we conducted a meta-analysis of two genome-wide
association studies by genotyping 550K tagging SNPs in a total of 1,878 cases and 3,670 …

The very rapid worldwide increase in mobile phone use in the last decade has generated
considerable interest in the possible health effects of exposure to radio frequency (RF) …

Objective To investigate the risk of glioma in adults in relation to mobile phone use. Design
Population based case-control study with collection of personal interview data. Setting Five …

While gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors, their etiology is largely unknown.
To identify novel risk loci for glioma, we conducted genome-wide association (GWA) …

Epidemiological studies have consistently reported an inverse association between a history
of allergic disease and risk of glioma. The reason for this association is unclear, and there is …

The relevance of preconceptional and prenatal toxicant exposures for genomic stability in
offspring is difficult to analyze in human populations, because gestational exposures usually …

Much of the variation in inherited risk of glioma is likely to be explained by combinations of
common low risk variants. The established relationship between glioma risk and exposure to …

Background Meningiomas account for up to 37% of all primary brain tumors. Genetic
susceptibility to meningioma is well established, with the risk among relatives of …

Folate metabolism plays an important role in carcinogenesis. To test the hypothesis that
polymorphic variation in the folate metabolism genes 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate …

We have previously identified tagSNPs at 8q24. 21 influencing glioma risk. We have sought
to fine-map the location of the functional basis of this association using data from four …
