Nat Genet . 2007 Jul; 39(8):977-83. PMID: 17603485
We performed a genome-wide association scan to search for sequence variants conferring risk of prostate cancer using 1,501 Icelandic men with prostate cancer and 11,290 controls. Follow-up studies involving three...

Amundadottir L, Sulem P, Gudmundsson J, Helgason A, Baker A, Agnarsson B, et al.
Nat Genet . 2006 May; 38(6):652-8. PMID: 16682969
With the increasing incidence of prostate cancer, identifying common genetic variants that confer risk of the disease is important. Here we report such a variant on chromosome 8q24, a region...

Stefansson H, Helgason A, Thorleifsson G, Steinthorsdottir V, Masson G, Barnard J, et al.
Nat Genet . 2005 Jan; 37(2):129-37. PMID: 15654335
A refined physical map of chromosome 17q21.31 uncovered a 900-kb inversion polymorphism. Chromosomes with the inverted segment in different orientations represent two distinct lineages, H1 and H2, that have diverged...

Am J Hum Genet . 2002 Jul; 71(4):877-92. PMID: 12145742
The cause of schizophrenia is unknown, but it has a significant genetic component. Pharmacologic studies, studies of gene expression in man, and studies of mouse mutants suggest involvement of glutamate...
