Langie J, Chan T, Yang W, Kang A, Morimoto L, Stram D, et al.
medRxiv . 2025 Jan; PMID: 39867407
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer, with Hispanic/Latino children having a higher incidence of ALL than other racial/ethnic groups. Genetic variants, particularly ones found enriched in...

de Smith A, Liu T, Xu K, Pardeshi A, Myint S, Kang A, et al.
Res Sq . 2024 Jul; PMID: 38946984
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children, yet few environmental risk factors have been identified. We previously found an association between early-life tobacco smoke exposure and...

Li S, Spitz N, Ghantous A, Abrishamcar S, Reimann B, Marques I, et al.
Commun Biol . 2024 Jan; 7(1):66. PMID: 38195839
Higher birth order is associated with altered risk of many disease states. Changes in placentation and exposures to in utero growth factors with successive pregnancies may impact later life disease...

Metayer C, Imani P, Dudoit S, Morimoto L, Ma X, Wiemels J, et al.
Cancers (Basel) . 2023 Feb; 15(4). PMID: 36831356
Leukemia is the most common cancer in children in industrialized countries, and its initiation often occurs prenatally. Folic acid is a key vitamin in the production and modification of DNA,...

Foss-Skiftesvik J, Li S, Rosenbaum A, Hagen C, Stoltze U, Ljungqvist S, et al.
Neuro Oncol . 2023 Feb; 25(9):1709-1720. PMID: 36810956
Background: Although recent sequencing studies have revealed that 10% of childhood gliomas are caused by rare germline mutations, the role of common variants is undetermined and no genome-wide significant risk...

Nickels E, Li S, Morimoto L, Kang A, de Smith A, Metayer C, et al.
Am J Clin Nutr . 2022 Sep; 116(6):1553-1564. PMID: 36178055
Background: Periconceptional folate intake is associated with the establishment of DNA methylation in offspring; however, variations in this relation by food sources compared with folic acid supplements are not described....

Li S, Chiang C, Myint S, Arroyo K, Chan T, Morimoto L, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2022 Sep; 18(9):e1010388. PMID: 36070312
Background: Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common pediatric brain tumor. PA has at least a 50% higher incidence in populations of European ancestry compared to other ancestral groups, which...

Li S, Gai X, Myint S, Arroyo K, Morimoto L, Metayer C, et al.
Neurooncol Adv . 2022 May; 4(1):vdac045. PMID: 35571988
Background: Childhood glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive disease with low survival, and its etiology, especially concerning germline genetic risk, is poorly understood. Mitochondria play a key role in...

Feng Q, Zhou M, Li S, Morimoto L, Hansen H, Myint S, et al.
Blood Adv . 2022 May; 6(12):3756-3766. PMID: 35500222
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children is associated with a distinct neonatal cytokine profile. The basis of this neonatal immune phenotype is unknown but potentially related to maternal-fetal immune receptor...

Acta Neuropathol Commun . 2020 Oct; 8(1):173. PMID: 33115534
Ependymoma is the third most common brain tumor in children, with well-described molecular characterization but poorly understood underlying germline risk factors. To investigate whether genetic predisposition to longer telomere length...
